Biotechniques for Air Pollution Control

Proceedings of the International Congress Biotechniques for Air Pollution Control

La energía y las materias primas para la industria química muestran una demanda creciente. Con las limitaciones relacionadas con la disponibilidad y el uso del petróleo, la industria de la energía y el producto químico están sujetos a cambios considerables. La necesidad de utilizar materias primas más baratas y ampliamente disponibles, y el desarrollo de procesos químicos sostenibles y respetuosos con el medio ambiente está creciendo rápidamente bajo la presión económica y pública.

El tratamiento de residuos de gas se ha ido integrado en el diseño del proceso. Cada vez más las industrias intentan alcanzar la autosuficiencia y la recuperación de los compuestos de sus propias corrientes de residuos.
