“…Phytoremediation is one example of using the green plant and the associated microorganism to stabilize or reduce contamination in soils, sludge, and sediment. Biological treatment of hazardous waste can be classified as in situ, where the treatment occurs at the site without moving the contaminated sites or ex-situ by transporting the contaminants to different sites [42]. Table 2.8 shows the hazardous waste phase (either liquid, slurry, solid, or vapor phase), type of microbes (suspended, attached, or hybrid), and system use (aerobic or anaerobic conditions).…”

The past over one-half century has seen the emergence of a growing desire worldwide to take positive actions to restore and protect the environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution: air, noise, solid waste, and water. The principle intention of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering (HEE) series is to help readers formulate answers to the fundamental questions facing pollution in the modern era, mainly, how serious is pollution and is the technology needed to abate it not only available, but feasible. Cutting-edge and highly practical, HEE offers educators, students, and engineers a strong grounding in the principles of Environmental Engineering, as well as providing effective methods for developing optimal abatement technologies at costs that are fully justified by the degree of abatement achieved. With an emphasis on using the Best Available Technologies, the authors of these volumes present the necessary engineering protocols derived from the fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, making these volumes a must have for environmental pollution researchers.

“…Certain types of hazardous waste can be used as fuel or alternative raw materials, thereby reducing the need for fossil fuels and natural raw materials as reported by Li X et al [17]. Meanwhile, processing hazardous waste biologically involves a natural biological system and engineered living organisms to treat hazardous waste as reported by Zhang et al [18]. The best-known biological treatment of hazardous waste is vitoremediation or bioremediation.…”

This research was conducted to (1) determine the hazardous waste generation from the industrial sector in Indonesia in 2019, (2) predict the hazardous waste generation in 2040, and (3) determine the waste material flow. This study's secondary data comes from past studies related to hazardous waste management in Indonesia's industrial sector. In this study, predicting hazardous waste generation used 2 (two) methods: the Annual Average Growth Rate and the Unit Gross Industrial Output Value. The last method used the assumption that Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) generate 10% of the total hazardous waste in Indonesia's industrial sector, while the Medium and Large Enterprises (MLEs) generate 85% of the total hazardous waste. In 2019, the total hazardous waste generation reached 573,351,835.37 tonnes yr-1. The hazardous waste projection from Indonesia's industrial sectors in 2040 reached 1,066,603,307.02 tonnes yr-1 to 1,298,591,111.95 tonnes yr-1. Based on the Material Flow Analysis, 68.66% of the hazardous waste was managed by disposing 11% of the hazardous waste in landfill, utilizing 31.44% of the waste, while 31.37% of the hazardous waste goes to hazardous waste transfer depots, and only 1.24% of the hazardous waste was processed. Meanwhile, 31.34% of the hazardous waste is considered to be unmanaged and pollute the land. Thus, it is necessary to have a reliable and integrated hazardous waste management system to reduce the negative impacts on the environment and human health.
