Waste to Energy deals with the very topical subject of converting
the calorific content of waste material into useful forms of
energy. It complements and, to a certain degree, overlaps with its
companion volume, "Biomass to Biofuels", since a significant
proportion of biomass converted to energy nowadays originates from
various types of waste. The material in the first, more substantial
part of the volume has been arranged according to the type of
process for energy conversion. Biochemical processes are described
in six articles. These relate to the production of methane by
anaerobic digestion; reactor conversion efficiencies;
investigations on ethanol production from biodegradable municipal
solid waste through hydrolysis and fermentation; hydrogen
production from glucose through a hybrid anaerobic and
photosynthetic process; biodiesel production from used cooking oil
through base-catalyzed transesterification. Conversions by
thermochemical processes are discussed in the subsequent eleven
articles of the volume.These cover combustion, the direct use of
heat energy; using the heat produced in thermal power stations for
steam and, ultimately, electricity generation; municipal solid
waste and refuse-derived fuel. In another article, computational
fluid dynamics modelling is applied to assess the influence of
process parameters and to perform optimization studies. A group of
articles deal with more complex thermochemical processes involving
combustion combined with pyrolysis and gasification. Two articles
focus on biofuels as feed for fuel cells. In the last six articles,
the emphasis is on management and policy rather than technical
issues.
