Earthworm Assisted Remediation of Effluents and Wastes, 1st ed. 2020
Coordonnateurs : Bhat Sartaj Ahmad, Vig Adarsh Pal, Li Fusheng, Ravindran Balasubramani
This book provides updated and comprehensive information on the effective functioning of earthworms used alone or in combination with other biological systems/microbes, as well as factors affecting the process and performance of vermiremediation under a range of conditions. It also compares earthworm assisted vermifiltration with other conventional biochemical methods.
Presenting cutting-edge research on the earthworm assisted remediation of industrial and municipal effluents and sludges, along with its role in solid waste management (SWM), the book will benefit readers from the research community and industrial sector alike, familiarizing them with the latest remediation techniques for wastewater and different types of solid waste.2.
