What Are the Practical Applications of Biological Treatment?
Biological treatment has a wide range of practical applications, including:
Oil Spill Cleanup: Microbial bioremediation is often employed to clean up oil spills in marine environments by breaking down hydrocarbons. Industrial Waste Management: Used for treating waste effluents from industries, reducing their toxicity before discharge into water bodies. Landfill Management: Helps in managing leachate from landfills by breaking down hazardous compounds. Agricultural Runoff: Phytoremediation can be used to absorb excess fertilizers and pesticides from agricultural runoff.
