Piezocatalysis as a Sustainable Solution for Microbial Eradication and Wastewater Treatment: Developments in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes comprehensively elucidates insights into the principles and applications of piezocatalysis. The book explains, in detail, the mechanism of the process and explores various approaches and the latest breakthroughs in material synthesis and designing for piezocatalysis. It explains how piezocatalysis offers a unique advantage by simultaneously degrading pollutants and controlling microbial populations, and that this dual action streamlines the wastewater treatment process and enhances overall efficiency.

Along with providing practical insights into how piezocatalysis is being employed to tackle wastewater issues, this book focuses on the recent developments, outlining their challenges and future opportunities. The book provides versatile solutions that are capable of degrading a wide range of pollutants, including recalcitrant organic compounds and microbial contaminants, and as such, enabling the degradation of various water pollutants and removal of pathogenic microbes. Researchers in academia and industry will find this to be a very important resource for learning about the implementation of piezocatalysis for wastewater remediation.

Autor

Dr. Souravi Bardhan is affiliated with the Faculty in the Department of Environmental Science in a Calcutta University-affiliated college for the past 6 years. She has completed her Ph.D. at Jadavpur University and has published more than 37 research articles in reputed peer-reviewed journals with a research experience of 9 years. Her research mainly involves heavy metal sensing in industrial wastewater and living cells and wastewater remediation. Dr. Maulin P. Shah is an active researcher and microbial biotechnologist with diverse research interest. His primary interest is the environment, the quality of our living resources and the ways that bacteria can help to manage and degrade toxic wastes and restore environmental health. Consequently, His work has been focused to assess the impact of industrial pollution on microbial diversity of wastewater following cultivation dependant and cultivation independent analysis.
