Key Features: 1. Presents unconventional waste treatment to
increase biotic resource efficiency as against standard crop and
forestry residues 2. Focuses on promoting sustainability concept
within different kinds of waste biorefinery 3. Discusses various
systems like microalgal, poultry and microbial refineries 4.
Includes techno-economic analysis for waste streams in biofuel
production 5. Covers topics like sewer mining, gas fermentation and
food waste management
The primary concern of environmental sustainability is to: (i)
reduce use of physical and depletable resources; (ii) recycle and
use renewable resources; (iii) redesign the production process to
eliminate the production of toxic materials and protect the
environment. Biochar, as a renewable material, can be produced from
various sustainable biomass feedstocks through pyrolysis
technologies. Biochar Towards Sustainable Environment highlights
the contribution of biochar to environmental sustainability. The
book provides a detailed overview of the sustainable biomass wastes
feedstocks and different technologies for biochar production, and
its sustainable applications in various aspects.
Circular Bioeconomy: Technologies for Waste Remediation covers
information about the strategies and approaches facilitating the
integration of technologies for wastewater and solid waste
remediation. The book highlights the models developed to valorize
wastes to produce biobased products. Various chapters presented in
the book put a focus on sustainability approaches as a central
theme in order to facilitate industries and policymakers to adopt
circular economy goals. Since the principal idea of a circular
bioeconomy is to transition from a linear economy, it involves
advanced technological and designing breakthroughs to reduce waste
with a closed looped system.
Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals: Circular Bioeconomy: Technologies
for Biofuels and Biochemicals provides comprehensive information on
strategies and approaches that facilitate the integration of
technologies for the production of bio-based fuels, chemicals and
other value-added products from wastes with waste biorefinery
concepts and green strategies. The book also covers lifecycle
assessment and techno-economic analyses of integrated biorefineries
within a circular bioeconomy framework. As there has been continual
research on new designs in production and consumerist approaches as
we move towards sustainable development by scientists of various
disciplines, law makers, environmental activists and
industrialists, this book provides the latest details. Resources
consumption and environment degradation necessitates a transition
of our linear economy towards sustainable social and technical
systems. As fossil resources are only projected to fulfill the
needs of the population for the next couple of centuries, new
tactics and standards must be created to ensure future success.
Waste Biorefinery: Value Addition through Resources Utilization
provides scientific and technical information surrounding the most
advanced and innovative processing technologies used for the
conversion of biogenic waste to biofuels, energy products and
biochemicals. The book covers recent developments and achievements
in the field of biochemical, thermo-chemical and hybrid methods and
the necessities and potentials generated by different kinds of
residual streams, including biomass in presumably more
decentralized biorefineries. An assortment of case-studies from
developing and developed countries illustrate the topics presented,
covering energy, chemicals, fuels, food for animal recovery from
different waste matrices, and more. Finally, the advantages and
limitations of different technologies are discussed, considering
local energy demand, government policies, environmental impacts and
education in bioenergy. This book will serve as an excellent
resource for science graduates, chemical engineers, environmental
engineers, biotechnologists and industrial experts in these areas.
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Resource
Recovery from Wastes includes the latest and innovative research
and technological developments in the biotechnology and
bioengineering pertaining to various resource(s) recovery from
wastes. The contents are organized into two broader sections
covering resource recovery from industrial wastewater and resource
recovery from solid wastes. Sections cover energy, bioproducts,
nutrients, municipal food wastes, electronic wastes, agricultural
waste and others. The state-of-the-art situation, potential
advantages and limitations are also provided, along with strategies
to overcome limitations. This book is a useful guide into research
demands in solid and liquid waste treatment and management for
environmental/economic sustainability.
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Emerging
Organic Micropollutants summarizes the current knowledge of
emerging organic micropollutants in wastewater and the
possibilities of their removal/elimination. This book attempts a
thorough and exhaustive discussion on ongoing research and future
perspectives on advanced treatment methods and future directions to
maintain and protect the environment through microbiological,
nanotechnological, application of membrane technology, molecular
biological and by policymaking means. In addition, the book
includes the latest developments in biotechnology and
bioengineering pertaining to various aspects in the field of
emerging organic micropollutants, including their sources, health
effects and environmental impacts.
Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemical: Circular Bioeconomy: Current
Developments and Future Outlook presents the views of experienced
academicians and researchers working in the area of the circular
bioeconomy. This book presents an assortment of Resource recovery,
Waste Biorefineries, Bio-electrochemical systems, Biopolymers and
Green solvents, Bio-adsorbents, and Technology transfer topics.
Environmental engineers, biotechnologists, science graduates,
chemical engineers, industrial experts and policymakers working in
these areas will find the information on the circular economy and
its important part in developing low carbon and resource-productive
economies very informative. Methodologies and beneficial strategic
approaches to address the usage of wastes from agriculture,
co-products, and by-products are also discussed.
Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals encompasses the potential of
microbial electrochemical technologies, delineating their role in
developing a technology for abating environmental crisis and
enabling transformation to a sustainable future. The book provides
new and futuristic methods for bioelectrogenesis, multiple product
synthesis, waste remediation strategies, and electromicrobiology
generation which are widely essential to individuals from industry,
marketing, activists, writers, etc. In addition, it provides
essential knowledge transfer to researchers, students and science
enthusiasts on Microbial Electrochemical Technologies, detailing
the functional mechanisms employed, various operational
configurations, influencing factors governing the reaction progress
and integration strategies. With these key topics and features, the
book generates interest among a wide range of people related to
renewable energy generation and sustainable environmental research.
