The book will cover a wide range of subjects related to rare earth
elements, including the sources, detection and applications of rare
earths, environmental and ecological issues related to rare earths,
recovery of rare earths using physical, chemical and biological
methods, recovery of rare earths from waste resources, conversion
of rare earths to nano-particles and their applications. It is
intended or all levels of teaching and research from senior
undergraduate to higher levels and to those who are working on
metal/metalloids more particularly focused on rare earth elements
from a science, engineering, health and environmental perspective.
The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and concerns for
environmental degradation due to the fossil fuel burning have led
the scientific community to look for alternative renewable energy
sources. Among the available renewable energy sources, bioenergy
derived from biomass and waste resources have great potential to
not only prevent environmental pollution but also be a carbon
neutral energy source. In addition, adaptation of this technology
could streamline new green products, alternative energy sources
into real-world applications and promote a circular economy towards
zero-waste approach. This book tries to bridge the existing
knowledge gap in the area of bioenergy resources. The first two
chapters provide introduction to the anaerobic digestion (AD)
technologies and direct interspecies electron transfer in AD. The
next three chapters are on biomass pretreatment technologies for
process improvement. The sixth to eighth chapter discuses biogas
and other by-product production from specific wastes such from
dairy, food and agricultural solid waste. The following two
chapters focuses on the downstream processing of anaerobic
digestate and on biochar production. Integration of AD in
biorefineries using bioelectrochemical systems, syngas fermentation
and electricity production are discussed in the next three
chapters. The final two chapters elaborates on life cycle
assessment of AD based technologies.
