Biotechnology: Environmental Processes I, Volume 11a, Second Edition

The first volume on environmental processes gives a profound overview on the biotechnology of wastewater. Part I deals with general aspects such as microbial metabolism, biofilms, analytical techniques, threshold values, methods of monitoring and regulations. Processes of wastewater treatment are presented in Part II: providing a lot of practical information origins and composition of wastewater from municipal, industrial and agricultural sources as well as aerobic and anaerobic processes in different types of reactors are described.Content: Chapter 1 Historical Development of Wastewater Treatment Processes (pages 4–16): Ludwig HartmannChapter 2 Bacterial Metabolism in Wastewater Treatment Systems (pages 17–53): Claudia Gallert and Josef WinterChapter 3 Nitrification and Denitrification?Microbial Fundamentals and Consequences for Application (pages 55–64): Dirk Zart, Ralf Stuven and Eberhard BockChapter 4 Autoaggregation of Microorganisms: Floes and Biofilms (pages 65–83): Jost Wingender and Hans?Curt FlemmingChapter 5 Nucleic Acid?Based Techniques for Analyzing the Diversity, Structure, and Dynamics of Microbial Communities in Wastewater Treatment (pages 85–108): Andreas Schramm and Rudolf AmannChapter 6 Analytical Parameters for Monitoring of Wastewater Treatment Plants (pages 109–123): Helmut Kroiss and Karl SvardalChapter 7 Monitoring of Environmental Processes with Biosensors (pages 125–139): Monika Reiss and Winfried HartmeierChapter 8 Laws, Statutory Orders and Directives on Waste and Wastewater Treatment (pages 141–158): Peter NisipeanuChapter 9 Municipal Wastewater and Sewage Sludge (pages 159–189): Paul Koppe, Alfred Stozek and Volkmar NeitzelChapter 10 Industrial Wastewater Sources and Treatment Strategies (pages 191–215): Karl?Heinz Rosenwinkel, Ute Austermann?Haun and Hartmut MeyerChapter 11 Agricultural Waste and Wastewater Sources and Management (pages 217–238): Peter WeilandChapter 12 Biological Processes in Wetland Systems for Wastewater Treatment (pages 240–251): Peter Kuschk, Arndt Wie?ner and Ulrich StottmeisterChapter 13 Activated Sludge Process (pages 253–283): Rolf KayserChapter 14 Biological and Chemical Phosphorus Elimination (pages 285–319): Georg Schon and Norbert JardinChapter 15 Continuous Flow and Sequential Processes in Municipal Wastewater Treatment (pages 321–334): Eberhard Morgenroth and Peter A.
