GREEN TECHNOLOGIES FOR INDUSTRIAL CONTAMINANTS

Green Technologies for Industrial Contaminants presents innovative, eco-friendly solutions to address the pressing challenges of pollution and water scarcity caused by industrial growth and population increase. Untreated industrial effluents from sectors such as textiles, paper, leather, plastics, cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum release harmful pollutants including dyes, heavy metals, and organic chemicals, posing serious risks to human health, ecosystems, and water resources.

This book emphasizes sustainable treatment approaches, particularly the synergistic use of biochar and microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, which offer cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions for contaminant removal. It also explores the reutilization of waste sludge for biofuel and bioenergy production, making it a practical guide for sustainable industrial wastewater management.

Ideal for researchers, students, and professionals in environmental science, engineering, and sustainable technology, Green Technologies for Industrial Contaminants provides both theoretical insights and real-world applications for modern industrial wastewater treatment.
