This book discusses the bioremediation of both solid and liquid
waste, including regional solutions for India as well as globally
relevant applications. The topics covered include pollutant
reduction through composting, solutions for petroleum refinery
waste, use of microorganisms in the bioremediation of industrial
waste and toxicity reduction, microbial fuel cells, and microbial
depolymerisation. The book also explores the biosorption of metals
and the bioremediation of leachates, especially with regard to soil
and groundwater remediation. It is a valuable resource for
researchers, professionals, and policy makers alike.

Biofuels and Bioenergy: A Techno-Economic Approach provides an
in-depth analysis of the economic aspects of biofuels production
from renewable feedstock. Taking a biorefinery approach, the book
analyzes a wide range of feedstocks, processes and products,
including common biofuels such as bioethanol, biobutanol, biooil
and biodiesel, feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass,
non-edible feedstocks like vegetable oils, algae and microbial
lipids, and solid and liquid wastes, performance assessments of
biodiesel in diesel engine, and the latest developments in
catalytic conversion and microbial electrosynthesis technologies.
This book offers valuable insights into the commercial feasibility
of biofuels products for researchers and students working in the
area of bioenergy and renewable energy, but it is also ideal for
practicing engineers in the biorefinery and biofuel industry who
are looking to develop commercial products.
Biofuels and Bioenergy: Opportunities and Challenges is the first
of two volumes that address the technological developments and
challenges in the production of a broad range of biofuels and
bioenergy products from renewable feedstock. The book emphasizes
the opportunities and challenges involved in various processes
including fermentation, transesterification, microbial fuels cells,
liquefaction, gasification, and pyrolysis. These are also
considered from a biorefinery perspective and discuss all common
biomass feedstocks. In addition, the book presents new research on
microalgae from waste water treatment, large scale production of
microalgae, microbial biooil production, biogas production,
computational tools for manipulation of metabolic pathway for
enhanced biogas production, production of biofuel from genetically
modified microalgal biomass, techno-economic analysis,
environmental impact and life cycle analysis. Biofuels and
Bioenergy is an ideal reference on the latest research for
researchers and students working in the area of biofuels and
renewable energy.
The utilization of various types of biomass residue to produce
products such as biofuels and biochemicals means biorefinery
technology using biomass residues may become a one-stop solution to
the increasing need for sustainable, non-fossil sources of energy
and chemicals. Refining Biomass Residues for Sustainable Energy and
Bioproducts: Technology, Advances, Life Cycle Assessment and
Economics focuses on the various biorefineries currently available
and discusses their uses, challenges, and future developments. This
book introduces the concept of integrated biorefinery systems, as
well as their operation and feedstock sourcing. It explores the
specificities, current developments, and potential end products of
various types of residue, from industrial and municipal to
agricultural and marine, as well as residue from food industries.
Sustainability issues are discussed at length, including life cycle
assessment, economics, and cost analysis of different biorefinery
models. In addition, a number of global case studies examine
successful experiences in different regions. This book is an ideal
resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of
bioenergy and waste management who are looking to learn about
technologies involved in residue biorefinery systems, how to reduce
their environmental impacts, and how to ensure their commercial
viability.
