Features: This book is a compilation of the author's extensive research and findings in the field of anaerobic biotechnology, combined with the latest advancements in this area both domestically and internationally. It focuses on two core aspects: pollutant treatment and waste resource utilization, with an emphasis on the working principles and application examples of microbial processes. The book primarily elaborates on anaerobic biotechnology for wastewater (material) treatment and organic waste liquid fermentation for hydrogen production. The book is divided into 11 chapters, covering the characteristics and content of environmental biotechnology, general principles of anaerobic biotechnology, traditional anaerobic biotechnology, upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) biotechnology, two-phase anaerobic wastewater treatment biotechnology, sulfate wastewater anaerobic treatment biotechnology, third-generation anaerobic wastewater treatment biotechnology, anaerobic biotechnology for nutrient removal in wastewater, anaerobic biotechnology for solid waste treatment (disposal), organic waste liquid fermentation for hydrogen production, and anaerobic biotechnology for waste resource utilization. Additionally, to supplement the content, the book includes appendices on anaerobic bacterial isolation and identification methods and anaerobic laboratory analysis methods. The book is rich in content and demonstrates strong systematicity, scientific rigor, practicality, and operability. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers and engineering technicians in the fields of environmental science and engineering, biotechnology, and related disciplines, as well as for faculty and students in higher education institutions.
