Biological Swine Wastewater Treatment
To supply the wide demand for pork meat around the world, there is an increase in the production in swine farms and the consequent increase of swine wastewater rich in carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, and xenobiotics that affect the ecosystems and human health. Several physical and chemical methods based on volatilization or physical separation of polluting forms are currently used in most environmental containment processes. However, these remediation methods are associated with high costs, are environmentally destructive, and may generate secondary pollutants. Biological wastewater treatments are described as advantageous methods because these are economical and generally easy to operate and because of the possible production of bio‐based products. In this sense, this chapter initially summarizes the swine wastewater characteristics, microorganisms, and metabolic pathways involved in biological swine wastewater treatment. Then, an overview of existing biological processes for swine wastewater treatment is addressed. Finally, current challenges and future prospects in this field are analyzed.
