Riassunto

Nanobiotechnology for Bioremediation: Fundamentals and Mechanisms provides detailed information on nanomaterial applications for the bioremediation of a heavily contaminated environment. Relevant information is provided on the application of nanofibers, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), nanocomposites, and carbon nanotubes to rejuvenate the environment from different pollutants, such as heavy metals, chlorinated compounds, organic compounds, polyaromatic hydrocarbon, and hydrocarbons. The book also explores the application of nanomaterials as a sustainable green solution that helps prevent various high levels of contamination in the environment.

Each chapter addresses the application of nanomaterials as a sustainable tool for managing innumerable environmental challenges. This helps readers translate their research findings into sustainable innovations to resolve their immediate environmental challenges.

• Provides information on nanomaterial utilization for bioremediation of soil and water heavily polluted with pesticides and heavy metals
• Outlines novel nanomaterials that could serve as adsorbents, especially in managing heavy metal–polluted wastewater
• Explores nanomaterial applications derived from microorganisms via immobilizing or through novel remediating microbial enzymes
