Produktbeschreibung

At the dawn of the 21st century, biotechnology is emerging as a key enabling technology for sustainable environmental protection and stewardship. Biotechnology for the Environment: Soil Remediation offers a state-of-the-art account of environmental biotechnology both in emerging and in more mature technological applications of soil remediation and cleanup of contaminated sites. Harnessing the potential of microorganisms and plants as eco-efficient and robust cleanup agents in a variety of practical situations is not only possible but is becoming widespread practice. Chapters are featured on current experience and trends in bioremediation of contaminated soil, life cycle assessment software tools for remediation planning, ex situ cleanup technologies using slurry reactors, implementation of anaerobic and aerobic in situ processes including monitored natural attenuation, complementary technologies on pesticide immobilisation in soil or humification of nitroaromatics, and, finally, phytoremediation of recalcitrant organic compounds and heavy metals.

Autorenporträt

Professor Dr. Walter Reineke ist seit 1982 Professor für Mikrobiologie an der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal und dort an der Lehre der beiden Studiengänge Lebensmittelchemie und Chemie beteiligt. Er studierte Biologie in Bochum und Göttingen und begann 1972 mit Hans-Joachim Knackmuss erste Arbeiten zum Einfluss von Strukturelementen in Umweltchemikalien auf den mikrobiellen Abbau. Die Promotion folgte 1976 in Göttingen mit einem Thema zum mikrobiellen Abbau von Chloraromaten mit anschließender PostDoc-Zeit bei der Gesellschaft für Strahlen- und Umweltforschung. Er ist dem Thema Umweltchemikalien / Chloraromaten bis heute treu geblieben.
