Soil and Groundwater Pollution
SCOPE, the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment, was established by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) in 1969 as an international, non to governmental, non-profit organisation with the mandate - advance knowledge of the influence of humans on their environment, as well as the effects of these environmental changes upon people, their health and their welfare with particular attention to those influences and effects which are either global or shared by several nations; - to serve as a non-governmental, interdisciplinary and international council of scien tists and as a source of advice for the benefit of governments and intergovernmental and non-governmental ...

Microbiology and Biochemistry of Strict Anaerobes Involved in Interspecies Hydrogen Transfer
The belief that energy might be a limiting factor for the development of humanity led twenty years ago to a great interest being'taken in research on anaerobic digestion. The first international symposium held in Cardiff in 1979 was followed by the meetings in Travenmund (1981), Boston (1983), Guangzhou (1985) and Bologna (1988). By now anaerobic digestion has come to be recognized as an appropriate technology for waste treatment. More recently, the increase in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere and (in developed countries, especially_ in the EEC) the· fact that more and more land is becoming available for purposes other than food production make biomass production economically an...
Biology of Anaerobic Microorganisms
Offers a comprehensive treatment of anaerobes, a common and important group of microbes which thrive where oxygen is absent. Details significant aspects of anaerobe physiology, especially those relevant to geochemical cycles and biodegradation. Also included are discussions of their habitats and the characteristics of key groups of anaerobes.
Novel Biodegradable Microbial Polymers
The NATO Advanced Research Workshop from which this book derives was conceived during Biotec-88, the Second Spanish Conference on Biotechnology, held at Barcelona in June 1988. The President of the Conference, Dr. Ricardo Guerrero, had arranged sessions on bacterial polymers which included lectures by five invited participants who, together with Dr. Guerrero, became the Organizing Committee for a projected meeting that would focus attention upon the increasing international importance of novel biodegradable polymers. The proposal found favour with the NATO Science Committee and, with Dr. R. Clinton Fuller and Dr. Robert W. Lenz as the co-Directors, Dr. Edwin A. Dawes as the Proceedings Edito...
Fit For Purpose? The Futures Of Universities
Schools and universities educate (mostly young) people, to equip them to deal with the future as it unfolds from the present. The question — whether these schools and universities are fit for that purpose — has always been relevant, even in slow-paced times of relative stability, where the future seems predictable as a simple extension of the past.Now that the future is not predictable anymore. Slow-paced times have gone. The relative stability in which universities developed and educated successive generations is gone. The question whether universities are fit for purpose is now more relevant than ever.In this book, ten leading thinkers and eighteen students from different continents, countries and cultures present their views on futures of universities and whether present-day universities are fit for purpose. It is an exploration, meant to inform, inspire and crystallize discussions.
Biofuel Production
Biofuels and bioenergy have emerged as an alternative option based on their sustainability, concomitant waste treatment, and site-specific flexibility. This book encompasses all the knowhow of different biofuel production processes through biological methods. It describes recent advancements in all major biofuel technologies such as biohydrogen, biomethane, bioethanol, syngas and so forth. Related protocols supported by schematic representation are included, encompassing comprehensive up-to-date scientific and technological information in biofuels and bioenergy. Features: Includes practical approaches focused on process design and analysis in biofuel production via biological routes Discusses kinetic equations of different microbial systems Provides comprehensive coverage of biochemical kinetics and equations related to biofuel process Describes protocols for setting up of experiments for pertinent biofuel technologies Emphasis on practical engineering approaches and experiments This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in chemical, biochemical and bioprocess engineering, and biofuels.
Ecosystem Services and Global Trade of Natural Resources
The utilization of natural resources to satisfy worldwide growing consumption of goods and services has severe ecological consequences. Aside from the projected doubling of food consumption in the next fifty years, the growing trade of biofuels and other commodities is a global challenge as the economic activities in the primary sector (i.e. mining, fisheries, aquaculture, forestry and agriculture) can damage biodiversity and ecosystem services. This should be taken into account in the decision-making affecting the global value chains linking consumer, retailer, processor, and producer in the North and the South. To cover the topic of ecosystem services and global trade this book is organize...
Environmental Chemodynamics
This book updates a successful and widely-used text that is “the most authoritative source in the field of environmental chemodynamics.” Its main focus is on the mechanisms and rates of movement of chemicals across the air/soil, soil/water, and water/air interfaces, and on how natural processes work to mobilize chemicals near and across interfaces—information vital to performing human and ecological risk assessments. The book opens with a logical introduction of the subject and goes on to describe the applications. Included are many examples and problems that illustrate the topics. This new edition will now include more examples, exercises, and case histories. In addition, chapters on the important mechanisms of soil/plant systems and aquatic organisms have been added, as well as coverage of industrial emissions and inorganic chemicals.
