[ED: Hardcover], [PU: CAMBRIDGE UNIV PR], Increased industrial and agricultural activity this century has led to vast quantities of the earth's soil and groundwater resources becoming contaminated with hazardous chemicals. Bioremediation provides a technology based on the use of living organisms, usually bacteria and fungi, to remove pollutants from soil and water, preferably in situ. This approach, which is potentially more cost-effective than traditional techniques such as incineration of soils and carbon filtration of water, requires an understanding of how organisms transform chemicals, how they survive in polluted environments and how they should be employed in the field. This book examines these issues for many of the most serious and common environmental contaminants, resulting in a volume which presents the most recent position on the application of bioremediation to the cleanup of polluted soil and water. Table of contents: Preface D. Crawford 1. Introduction R. Crawford 2. Engineering of bioremediation processes W. Admassu and R. A. Korus 3. Bioremediation in soil: influence of soil properties on organic contaminants and bacteria M. J. Morra 4. Biodegradation of 'BTEX' hydrocarbons under anaerobic conditions L. Crumholtz, M. E. Caldwell and J. M. Suflita 5. Bioremediation of petroleum contamination E. Rosenberg and E. Zon 6. Bioremediation of environments contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons J. Mueller, C. Cerniglia and P. Pritchard 7. Bioremediation of nitroaromatic compounds S. B. Funk, D. Crawford and R. Crawford 8. A history of PCB biodegradation R. Unterman 9. Bioremediation of chlorinated phenols J. Puhakka and E. Melin 10. Biodegradation of chlorinated aliphatic compounds L. Wackett 11. Microbial remediation of metals T. Roane, I. Pepper, R. Miller 12. Molecular techniques in bioremediation M. Shields and S. Francesconi Index. Bioremediation provides a technology based on the use of microorganisms to remove pollutants from soil and water. This book presents the most recent practical and theoretical information on the use of this technique for the removal of many of the world's most serious and common environmental contaminants. Presents the most recent advances concerning the use of microorganisms to degrade environmental pollution. 412 pages - 36 line diagrams 2 half-tones 59 tables Versandfertig in über 4 Wochen, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot<
