Environmental Biotechnology for Waste Treatment

The use of biotechnical processes in control of environmental pollution and in haz­ ardous waste treatment is viewed as an advantageous alternative or adduct to phys­ ical chemical treatment technologies. Yet, the development and implementation of both conventional and advanced biotechnologies in pr...
