This book gives an overview on techniques and future perspectives
of various aspects of waste biomass management. It also presents
the economic and environmental evaluation, and also the monetary
value-benefits and sustainability of the different processes.
Recycling processes of lignocellulosic biomass from palm oil mill
waste are covered, as well as from sugar industry waste and
agriculture waste. It also includes thermal and non-thermal
technologies for resource recovery from waste biomass. Challenges
in the reuse and recycling of waste biomass are discussed, i.e.,
the hygienic safety in biomass management and bioremediation
technologies for conversion into valuable products. The book is
aiming at scientists, researchers and students alike, who are
working in the research areas pertaining to waste management
With no emissions and water as a byproduct, the globe could imagine
a sustainable and resilient human kind that obliterates any
possible chances of future climate change. With increased
globalization, there has been an unprecedented escalation in
production processes thus generating valued products and
byproducts. A significant quantum of the waste materials generated
can be transformed into fuels with the help of MFCs. MFC's
utilities would bring about a paradigm shift built on the
principles of sustainability, encompassing closed loop biorefinery
approach. A MFC's bio-refinery ensures complete allocation of
products and byproducts in various processes yielding zero waste.
Such efforts would not only help in managing waste but also
contribute to generation of renewable fuel and valued products that
fosters sustainable development. To cater to the needs of the
present challenges in waste management, bioenergy and bio product
recovery and commercial sustainability, this book on MFCs will
emphasize and throw light on various mechanisms, routes and
reaction engineering approaches for complete transformation of
waste to wealth.

Algae Based Bioelectrochemical Systems for Carbon Sequestration,
Carbon Storage, Bioremediation and Bioproduct Generation explores
the integration of carbon capture, storage and sequestration
technologies with bioelectrochemical fuels cells (BEFC), showing
how conventional technologies can be renovated to aid in the
reduction in GHG emissions and simultaneously optimize BEFC
performance. The book focuses on the integration of algal biogas
upgradation with electrochemical systems, providing a guide to the
renovation of conventional technologies to combine energy
production and carbon sequestration. Chapters discuss the latest
advancements in carbon sequestration biocatalyst and microbial
platforms and integrations for rapid carbon biotransformations. In
addition, the book highlights the potential of algae and
chemolithotrophs as candidates for carbon delivery, biocatalyst
orientation and architecture for optimal BEFC performance.
Multifaceted Bio-sensing Technology introduces the different types
of biosensors, their construction materials, configurations,
production methods, and their uses in bioelectrochemical fuel cells
(BEFC). It focuses on recent progress in the production of
biosensing platforms/interfaces, their integration, design and
fabrication, and their multifaceted applications in
bioelectrochemical systems. The chapters explore the integration of
genetic elements such as DNA, enzymes, and whole cells within these
systems, and address environmental applications including
wastewater contaminant detection, toxicity, and bioremediation.
Throughout, the book shows how rapid, minuscule, and affordable
biocomponents can be produced for a variety of energy and
environmental applications. This book provides a practical
introduction to the production of biocomponents for
bioelectrochemical devices and environmental monitoring, and will
be a useful reference for graduates and researchers involved in the
application of bioelectrochemical systems, as well as those working
more broadly in bioenergy, electrochemistry, biology, environmental
engineering, and multidisciplinary research across those areas.
Techno-economics and Life Cycle Assessment of Bioreactors:
Post-Covid19 Waste Management Approach covers the emerging trends
in bioreactor research, including techno-economics and life cycle
assessment perspectives, both key considerations in making the
anaerobic-digestion process technically feasible, economically
viable and environmentally sustainable. The book is divided into
three sections, with an introductory chapter on the impact of
COVID-19 on existing practices of waste and resource management.
Sections cover advances in bioreactor development for enhanced
valorization of waste, the techno-economics of the different
bioreactor systems, the life cycle assessment of bioreactors, their
methodological challenges and future perspectives. Providing a
holistic overview of bioreactors and taking into account recent
trends in their design, the chapters also highlight the advances
needed to manage COVID-19 waste in a sustainable manner. With
contributions from leading experts in bioreactor and life cycle
assessment, this book will be an invaluable reference source for
academics working on anaerobic digesters and energy sustainability,
as well as for research and development professionals in the
renewable energy industry, and scientists and engineers working on
clean and efficient energy generation from wastes.
Delivering Low-Carbon Biofuels with Bioproduct Recovery: An
Integrated Approach to Commercializing Bioelectrochemical Systems
explores current pathways to produce both the bioenergy from
bioelectroactive fuel cells (BEFC) and their valuable byproducts
using bioelectrochemical systems (BES) approaches. The book focuses
on key methods, current designs and established variants of
biofuels processing approaches, also including case studies.
Chapters review crucial aspects of bioreactor design methodologies,
operating principles, bioreactor susceptibility and systems
constraints. The book supports vulnerability and hotspot detection
through simulation and modeling approaches. Concluding chapters
establish drivers for realizable scale-up and commercialization of
bioelectrochemical systems.
Bioremediation and Nutrients and Other Valuable Products Recovery:
Using Bio-electrochemical Systems reviews key applications in
transforming fuel waste substrates into simple low impact and
easily assimilative compounds that are environmentally non-labile
and tolerant. The book emphasizes waste treatment and nutrient
removal and recovery from a diverse array of waste substrates,
utilizing Bioelectrochemical Systems (BES) approaches. Throughout,
the work emphasizes the utilization of electrode and/or electrolyte
components in building self-sustaining fuel cell systems that
target the removal of both conventional and emerging pollutants,
along with the production of energy. Bioremediation strategies with
potential scale-up options for wastewater treatment, metal removal
and soil remediation drug derivates and emerging contaminants are
discussed with particular emphasis. Chapters explore applications
for these varied pollutants, together with prospects in waste
minimization, nutrient recycling, water purification and
bioremediation of natural resources.
Bioreactors: Sustainable Design and Industrial Applications in
Mitigation of GHG Emissions presents and compares the foundational
concepts, state-of-the-art design and fabrication of bioreactors.

construction and fabrication, design, modeling and simulation,
development, operation, maintenance, management and target
applications for biofuels production and bio-waste management.
Emerging issues in commercial feasibility are explored, constraints
and pathways for upscaling, and techno-economic assessment are also
covered. This book provides researchers and engineers in the
biofuels and waste management sectors a clear, at-a-glance
understanding of the actual potential of different advanced
bioreactors for their requirements. It is a must-have reference for
better-informed decisions when selecting the appropriate technology
models for sustainable systems development and commercialization.
