As several studies have been carried out to understand bulking phenomena and the importance of environmental factors on sludge settling characteristics, which are thought to be strongly influenced by flocculation, sludge bulking, foaming and rising, this book is an ideal resource on the topics covered.
- Presents the state-of-the-art techniques and applications of omics tools in wastewater treatment reactors (WWTRs)
- Describes both theoretical and practical knowledge surrounding the fundamental roles of microorganisms in WWTRs
- Points out the reuse of treated wastewater through emerging technologies
- Covers the economics of wastewater treatment and the development of suitable alternatives in terms of performance and cost effectiveness
- Discusses cutting-edge molecular biological tools
- Gives in-depth knowledge to study microbial community structure and function in wastewater treatment reactors
