Biomass for Environmental Remediation

Biomass for Environmental Remediation, 1st Edition, edited by Yasser Vasseghian and published by Elsevier, provides comprehensive technical coverage of biological media applied to pollution mitigation. Created for students, researchers, and professionals in environmental science and sustainable technologies, the work details chemical and biological mechanisms used to process pollutants in ecological systems.

The text organizes its core material around biomass applications in wastewater treatment, air pollution control, and soil remediation. Individual chapters evaluate practical biological methods, detailing biochar applications alongside phytoremediation and microbial remediation systems. Readers explore how plant matter, microbes, and carbonaceous materials extract or neutralize targeted chemical compounds.

As a volume in the Biomass and Biofuels series on ScienceDirect, this 316-page release connects theoretical concepts with practical environmental management. It offers academic courses and professional teams a structured baseline for comparing biological treatment alternatives across liquid, solid, and atmospheric pollution challenges.
