Features: This book introduces a new type of water treatment flocculant—microbial flocculant. The book consists of an introduction and seven chapters. The introduction primarily covers the basic concepts of microbial flocculants, their current research status, and development trends. Subsequently, it provides detailed explanations on the screening and cultivation of microbial flocculant-producing bacteria, purification and identification, the production of microbial flocculants and their main influencing factors, the chemical composition and structure of microbial flocculants, as well as their flocculation properties. The book also discusses the fermentation kinetics of microbial flocculant-producing bacteria, followed by practical applications, where it introduces experimental research on microbial flocculants for various types of actual wastewater, with a focus on their role in promoting the granulation of anaerobic sludge and the underlying mechanisms. Much of the data in the book is derived from the author's actual scientific research, highlighting its practical applications and significant reference value. This book is suitable for engineering technicians and researchers in environmental science and engineering, as well as for faculty and students in higher education institutions and related disciplines.
