TEQIP-II Sponsored SHORT TERM COURSE on
Bioremediation of Industrial Wastes for a Greener World
December 08 to 12, 2014
Organized By :
Department of Chemical Engineering
in association with
Department of Biotechnology
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DURGAPUR
Complex organic compounds, oils, heavy metals, dyes and pigments from industrial processing and pesticides from agricultural activities are contaminating our soil and water alarmingly. Recent advances in biotechnology have opened an avenue for biological degradation and removal of the contaminants in a process known as bioremediation. In this short term course, the various techniques of bioremediation of industrial wastes using various microorganisms will be discussed. Both
theoretical and experimental training will be imparted for an in-depth understanding of
bioremediation technology.
BROAD OBJECTIVES
To understand the process of bioremediation
To learn about present available techniques of bioremediation
To gain knowledge on present research going on in the field of bioremediation
