Advances in Biological Treatment of Industrial Waste Water and their Recycling for a Sustainable Future, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2019 Applied Environmental Science and Engineering for a Sustainable Future Series
Coordonnateurs : Singh Ram Lakhan, Singh Rajat Pratap
With rampant industrialization, the management of waste generated by various industries is becoming a mammoth problem. Wastewater discharges from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could affect the quality of receiving waters or interfere with potable water supplies. Thousands of small and large-scale industrial units dump their waste, which is often toxic and hazardous, in open spaces and nearby water sources. Over the last three decades, many cases of serious and permanent damage to the environment and human health on the part of these industries have come to the fore.
This book mainly focuses on the biological treatment of wastewater from various industries, and provides detailed information on the sources and characteristics of this wastewater, followed by descriptions of the biological methods used to treat them. Individual chapters address the treatment of wastewater from pulp and paper mills; tanneries; distilleries, sugar mills; the dairy industry; wine industry; textile industry; pharmaceutical industry; food processing industry; oil refinery/petroleum industry; fertilizer industry and beverage/ soft drink bottling industry; and include the characteristics of wastewater, evaluation of biological treatment methods, and recycling of wastewater.
Easy to follow, with simple explanations and a good framework for understanding the complex nature of biological wastewater treatment processes, the book will be instrumental to quickly understanding various aspects of the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. It will serve as a valuable reference book for scientists, researchers, educators, and engineers alike.
Professor Ram Lakhan Singh (Editor) is presently holding the positions of Professor of Biochemistry and Coordinator of Biotechnology Programme at Dr. Ram Mnaohar Lohia Avadh University, Faizabad, India. He has also held the positions of Dean, Faculty of Science, Head, Departments of Biochemistry and Environmental sciences and Director, Institute of Engineering & Technology in the same university. He completed his Master’s degree in Biochemistry from Lucknow University and joined Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India in 1980. He worked extensively on the toxicity of synthetic dyes and their metabolites and has been awarded Ph.D. degree in 1987. Professor Singh worked in UP Pollution Control Board as Junior Scientific Officer and studied the effects of effluents discharged from various industries on air and water qualities. He moved to G.B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar, India in 1988 as Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and worked on the toxicity of pulp and paper mill effluents on plant and animal systems. He acquired special training in Rapeseed-Mustard quality analysis at Agriculture Canada Research Station, Saskatoon in the year 1991 under IDRC, Canada sponsored programme.
Professor Singh joined Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Faizabad as Associate Professor of Biochemistry in 1994 and became full Professor in 2002. He has been instrumental in developing the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Biochemistry, Environmental Sciences and Biotechnology. He led and completed various projects funded by DST, UGC, DOE, UPCAR, UPCST etc. and guided 25 Ph.D. students. His main area of research is Environmental Biochemistry and Toxicology. Professor Singh published more than 81 research papers in peer reviewed journals and participated in various National and International scientific conferences, meetings, symposia and workshops, chaired scientific and technical sessions and presen
