Material-Microbes Interactions: Environmental Biotechnological
Perspective brings great insights into microbes-material
interactions, biofilm formation, and emerging bioprocess within the
field of applied biotechnology. The book systematically summarizes
the fundamental principles, the state-of-the-art in
microbes-material interaction, and its application in bioprocess
and environmental technology development. Understanding the
fundamental processes of biofilm formation, the role of material to
exchange the energy with microbes, biofilm matrix, and optimization
of the biofilm formation process is useful to everyone involved
with bioprocess development. This book will be of significant
interest to environmental technology developers, researchers,
university professors, policymakers, graduate and postgraduate
students and other stakeholders. Interestingly, academic
institutions, wastewater treatment plants, and research centers
have upscaled biofilm-based environmental technologies, such as
moving bed bioreactors, microalgae, tricking bed reactors,
biofilters, and bioelectrochemical process as promising
environmental technologies.
Emerging Technologies and Biological Systems for Biogas Upgrading
systematically summarizes the fundamental principles and the
state-of-the-art of biogas cleaning and upgrading technologies,
with special emphasis on biological processes for carbon dioxide
(CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), siloxane, and hydrocarbon removal.
After analyzing the global scenario of biogas production, upgrading
and utilization, this book discusses the integration of methanation
processes to power-to-gas systems for methane (CH4) production and
physiochemical upgrading technologies, such as chemical absorption,
water scrubbing, pressure swing adsorption and the use of
membranes. It then explores more recent and sustainable upgrading
technologies, such as photosynthetic processes using algae,
hydrogen-mediated microbial techniques, electrochemical,
bioelectrochemical, and cryogenic approaches. H2S removal with
biofilters is also covered, as well as removal of siloxanes through
polymerization, peroxidation, biological degradation and gas-liquid
absorption. The authors also thoroughly consider issues of mass
transfer limitation in biomethanation from waste gas, biogas
upgrading and life cycle assessment of upgrading technologies,
techno-economic aspects, challenges for upscaling, and future
trends.Providing specific information on biogas upgrading
technology, and focusing on the most recent developments, Emerging
Technologies and Biological Systems for Biogas Upgrading is a
unique resource for researchers, engineers, and graduate students
in the field of biogas production and utilization, including
waste-to-energy and power-to-gas. It is also useful for
entrepreneurs, consultants, and decision-makers in governmental
agencies in the fields of sustainable energy, environmental
protection, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and
strategic planning.
