Show less Ozonation and Biodegradation in Environmental Engineering: Dynamic Neural Network Approach gives a unified point-of-view on the application of DNN to estimate and control the application of ozonation and biodegradation.

This book contains a collection of different research activities where several technologies have been applied to the optimization of biodegradation processes.

The book has three main sections: A) Hydrocarbons biodegradation, B) Biodegradation and anaerobic Cited by: 7. In book: Microbial Biodegradation and Bioremediation (pp) Edition: 1st; Chapter: Heavy metals and hydrocarbons: Adverse effects and mechanism of toxicity.

Microbial Biodegradation and Bioremediation brings together experts in relevant fields to describe the successful application of microbes and their derivatives for bioremediation of potentially toxic and relatively novel compounds.

This single-source reference encompasses all categories of pollutants and their applications in a convenient, comprehensive package. compound levels dropped significantly, thus indicating that the biodegradation of alkanolamines and the formation of thermal/oxidative products were complete.

Final analysis showed that alkanolamine concentrations were reduced to levels below the det ection limit following treatment, from an initial concentration of 15, mg/kg.

The biodegradation of biomass offers some guidances. Polyesters are known to biodegrade. Oxo-biodegradation is defined by CEN (the European Standards Organisation) as "degradation resulting from oxidative and cell-mediated phenomena, either simultaneously or successively." Whilst sometimes described as "oxo-fragmentable," and "oxo-degradable.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a class of hazardous pollutants, are difficult to dissipate in the natural environment.

In this study, a cyanobacterial strain Anabaena PD-1 showed good resistance against PCB congeners. Compared to a control group, chlorophyll a content decreased % and % when Anabaena PD-1 was exposed to 2 and 5 mg/L PCBs for 7 by: The diverse metabolic capabilities of microorganisms and their interactions with hazardous organic and inorganic compounds have long been recognized.

Microbial processes are environmentally compatible and can be integrated with non-biological processes to detoxify, degrade and immobilize environmental contaminants. Bioremediation, the application of biological methods, has been used 5/5(1). When first developed, chlorinated pesticides such as DDT, dieldrin, and mirex were received with open arms, quickly becoming popular as effective, economic agents against pests.

But evidence began to mount that residues of these chemicals remained in the environment, not breaking down, often appearing in plants and animals.

By the late seventies many pesticides had achieved a terrible. Biodegradation and Bioremediation book. Read reviews from world’s largest community for readers. This text considers the microbiological, chemical, envir 4/5.

This book highlights the importance of biotransformation as a solution to these problems and considers traditionally separate areas as one interdependent discipline, in terms of the underlying mechanistic biochemistry and the research techniques employed.

The provision of resources has largely centred around non-renewable materials, especially oil. Biodegradation has been the subject of active concern for the past 40 years. Recently, the field has expanded to encompass a wide variety of chemicals, a broad array of issues, and the development of the new bioremediation industry.
