Biodegradation and Detoxification of Micropollutants in Industrial Wastewater summarizes the occurrence and source of micropollutants through various industrial wastewaters. It covers the type of micropollutants, their effects, and emerging detection and treatment methods. The book has 11 chapters, and throughout each chapter, it presents the fate and effects of micropollutants, quantitative and qualitative analysis of micropollutants in industrial wastewaters, and treatment of micropollutants through conventional and advanced wastewater treatment technologies.
