MICROBIAL APPLICATIONS OF NITRIFIERS AND DENITRIFIERS IN INDUSTRIAL wastewater treatment
This book explores the microbial applications of nitrifiers and denitrifiers in industrial wastewater treatment. It provides an in-depth analysis of the biological processes involved in nitrogen reduction and wastewater treatment in various industrial settings. The text delves into mechanisms, species, and genes involved in nitrification and denitrification, and discusses the use of bioreactors and emerging technologies for reducing nitrogen oxides and other pollutants. The book is edited by experts in the field, Maulin P. Shah, Mayur J. Kapadia, and P.R. Shah, and aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the application of microbiology in environmental management and industrial wastewater treatment.
