_Nano-Bioremediation: Fundamentals and Applications_ explores how
nano-bioremediation is used to remedy environmental pollutants. The
book's chapters focus on the design, fabrication and application of
advanced nanomaterials and their integration with biotechnological
processes for the monitoring and treatment of pollutants in
environmental matrices. It is an important reference source for
materials scientists, engineers and environmental scientists who are
looking to increase their understanding of bioremediation at the
nanoscale. The mitigation of environmental pollution is the biggest
challenge to researchers and the scientific community, hence this book
provides answers to some important questions.
As an advanced hybrid technology, nano-bioremediation refers to the
integration of nanomaterials and bioremediation for the remediation of
pollutants. The rapid pace of urbanization, massive development of
industrial sectors, and modern agricultural practices all cause a
controlled or uncontrolled release of environmentally-related
hazardous contaminants that are seriously threatening every key
sphere, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere,
and anthroposphere.
* Explores the current and potential applications of
nano-bioremediation in the remediation of hazardous pollutants
* Outlines the major properties and classes of nanomaterials that
make them efficient bioremediation agents
* Assesses the major challenges of effectively implementing
bioremediation techniques at the nanoscale
