Description

Sustainable Environmental Clean-up: Green Remediation includes some natural, clean, and eco-sustainable technologies that have undergone the process of gradual development in past few decades. These technologies include a range of innovative natural and viable materials and offer a clean solution of environmental pollution. It includes case studies of phytoremediation, bioremediation (microbial removal of pollutant), constructed wetlands, natural media filtration for the sustainable environmental cleanup. Sustainable Environmental Clean-up: Green Remediation includes coverage of: Recent trends in eco-sustainable green remediation, Role of constructed wetlands in green remediation, Factor responsible for biodegradation of organic pollutants, Remediation through natural media (Sand, gravel, stope-chips), Microbes and their role in green remediation.

Key Features

  • Presents recent trends in eco-sustainable green remediation
  • Covers the role of constructed wetlands in green remediation
  • Outlines the factors responsible for biodegradation of organic pollutants
  • Discusses remediation through natural media (Sand, gravel, stope-chips)
  • Explains microbes and their role in green remediation
  • Includes the role of endophytic microbes in organic contamination management
