This book is part of a two-volume work that offers a unique blend
of information on realistic evaluations of catalyst-based synthesis
processes using green chemistry principles and the environmental
sustainability applications of such processes for biomass
conversion, refining, and petrochemical production. The volumes
provide a comprehensive resource of state-of-the-art technologies
and green chemistry methodologies from researchers, academics, and
chemical and manufacturing industrial scientists. The work will be
of interest to professors, researchers, and practitioners in clean
energy catalysis, green chemistry, chemical engineering and
manufacturing, and environmental sustainability. This volume
focuses on the potentials, recent advances, and future prospects of
catalysis for biomass conversion and value-added chemicals
production via green catalytic routes. Readers are presented with a
mechanistic framework assessing the development of product
selective catalytic processes for biomass and biomass-derived
feedstock conversion. The book offers a unique combination of
contributions from experts working on both lab-scale and industrial
catalytic processes and provides insight into the use of various
catalytic materials (e.g., mineral acids, heteropolyacid, metal
catalysts, zeolites, metal oxides) for clean energy production and
environmental sustainability.

focuses on catalyst synthesis and green chemistry applications for
petrochemical and refining processes. While most books on the
subject focus on catalyst use for conventional crude, fuel-oriented
refineries, this book emphasizes recent transitions to
petrochemical refineries with the goal of evaluating how green
chemistry applications can produce clean energy through
petrochemical industrial means. The majority of the chapters are
contributed by industrial researchers and technicians and address
various petrochemical processes, including hydrotreating,
hydrocracking, flue gas treatment and isomerization catalysts.
This book is an inclusive coverage of advances in aquaculture
health management. It offers latest updates as well as explains the
novel concepts and issues related to aquatic animal health
management. To support the understanding of the concepts, there is
extensive use of illustrations. Chapters emphasize on the state of
art techniques and hold great promise for the sustainable
development of aquaculture. This book is of interest to teachers,
researchers, aquatic biologists, capacity builders and
policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material
for undergraduate and graduate students of aquatic sciences, marine
sciences, biotechnology, ecology, and environmental sciences.
National and international aquatic scientists, policy makers will
also find this to be a useful read.
Renewable Diesel: Value Chain, Sustainability, and Challenges
presents a holistic reference on the production of renewable
diesel, from fundamentals to state-of-the-art. In addition to an
in-depth assessment of biomass conversation processes and available
technologies, the book considers engineering and mathematical
aspects such as design, economics and sustainability. Production
processes, fuel properties and fuel quality standards are all
addressed in detail alongside state-of-the-art information on
conversion routes, catalysts, combustion characteristics, emission
profile, techno-economic and lifecycle appraisal, and integration
of renewable diesel production into existing refineries. A chapter
on biodiesel and hydroprocessed vegetable oil offers a comparative
analysis with conventional biodiesel pro’s and con’s. Finally,
readers are provided with an overview of techno-economic,
environmental, logistical and strategic hurdles and opportunities
in the commercialization and marketability of renewable diesel.
This book provides readers with a unique and comprehensive
reference on the production of renewable diesel that will be of
interest to students, researchers and professionals involved in
bioenergy, renewable energy, biotechnology, chemistry, chemical
engineering, environmental science and sustainability sciences.
This edited volume focuses on comprehensive state-of-the-art
information about the practical aspects of cultivation, harvesting,
biomass processing and biofuel production from algae. Chapters
cover topics such as synthetic ecological engineering approaches
towards sustainable production of biofuel feedstock, and algal
biofuel production processes using wastewater. Readers will also
discover more about the role of biotechnological engineering in
improving ecophysiology, biomass and lipid yields. Particular
attention is given to opportunities of commercialization of algal
biofuels that provides a realistic assessment of various
techno-economical aspects of pilot scale algal biofuel production.
The authors also explore the pre-treatment of biomass, catalytic
conversion of algal lipids and hydrothermal liquefaction with the
biorefinery approach in detail. In a nut shell, this volume will
provide a wealth of information based on a realistic evaluation of
contemporary developments in algal biofuel research with an
emphasis on pilot scale studies. Researchers studying and working
in the areas of environmental science, biotechnology, genetic
engineering and biochemistry will find this work instructive and
informative.

Recent Trends in Solid Waste Management presents comprehensive
information on recent advances in solid waste treatment and
management processes. The book covers a wide range of topics
related to solid waste treatment, disposal and handling. Readers
will also learn about up-to-date/background information on global
annual solid waste generation and effective waste management
strategies (recycle, reuse, remediate). Furthermore, future study
directions (open questions) are identified. This book will assist
both the academic and industrial communities by providing extensive
information on waste separation procedures and technologies for
solid waste treatment.

This two-volume work presents comprehensive, accurate information
on the present status and contemporary development in
phycoremediation of various types of domestic and industrial
wastewaters. The volume covers a mechanistic understanding of
microalgae based treatment of wastewaters, including current
challenges in the treatment of various organic and inorganic
pollutants, and future opportunities of bioremediation of
wastewater and industrial effluents on an algal platform. The
editors compile the work of authors from around the globe,
providing insight on key issues and state-of-the-art developments
in algal bioremediation that is missing from the currently
available body of literature. The volume hopes to serve as a much
needed resource for professors, researchers and scientists
interested in microalgae applications for wastewater treatment.
Volume 1 focuses on the different aspects of domestic and
industrial wastewater treatment by microalgae. The case studies
include examples such as genetic technologies as well as the
development and efficient use of designer consortia for enhanced
utilization of microalgae. This volume provides thorough and
comprehensive information on removal of persistent and highly toxic
contaminants such as heavy metals, organic pesticides, polyaromatic
hydrocarbons, endocrine disruptors, pharmaceutical compounds, and
dyes from wastewater by microalgae, diatoms, and blue-green algae.
Design considerations for algal ponds and efficient use of
photobioreactors and HRAPs for wastewater treatment are some other
highlights. This volume addresses the applications, potentials, and
future opportunities for these various considerations in water
pollution mitigation using algal technologies.
