Bioremediation And Natural Attenuation - Process Fundamentals And Mathematical Models

Alvarez (civil and environmental engineering, Rice U.) and Illman's (hydrology, U. of Iowa) text covers the fundamental biological, chemical, mathematical, and physical principles related to the fate and transport of hazardous wastes in aquifer systems, and their connection to natural attenuation and bioremediation engineering. Recent advances and new concepts in bioremediation are emphasized throughout the book. It is designed as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering and related sciences who are interested in the selection, design, and operation of groundwater treatment systems, and is also suitable as a reference for practitioners, regulators, and researchers dealing with contaminant hydrology and corrective action.
