About this title

Synopsis

Microbial Fermentation of Biowastes summarizes new advances in the development of various strategies for enhanced microbial fermentation for organic waste conversion to bioenergy/biochemicals, and for biodegradation of plastic waste. Sections cover principles of additive strategies, multi-stage bioreactors, microbial bioaugmentation strategies, genetically engineered microorganisms, co-digestion strategies, feedstock pre-treatment strategies, enzyme technologies, and hybrid technologies methods. In addition, the book reviews progress in the conversion of common wastes to bioenergy and biochemicals via enhanced anaerobic digestion, also summarizing the significant progress achieved on enhancing anaerobic digestion via additive strategy, multi-stage bioreactor strategy, microbial bioaugmentation strategy, genetic engineering approach, and much more.

Includes enhancing strategies for microbial fermentation technologies for biowastes conversion to bioenergy and biochemicals
Provides progress on bioenergy/resource recovery from common biowastes, including food waste, agricultural waste, manure, wastewater and algal residues
Includes microbial biodegradation of plastic waste

About the Authors

Dr. Le Zhang is currently a Research Fellow in Energy and Environmental Sustainability for Megacities (E2S2) Programme at National University of Singapore in Singapore. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from National University of Singapore. He has more than 8 years of related research experience in biomass energy engineering and waste management. His research involves enhanced anaerobic digestion of organic wastes (e.g. food waste, horticultural waste, animal manure, excess sludge, and algal residues) for biofuel and biochemicals production, optimization of various anaerobic digesters with organic wastes, and bioinformatic analysis of microbial community structures. He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers and 3 authorized patents in the fields of bioenergy and waste management. His works have been published in Bioresource Technology, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Hazardous Materials, Journal of Cleaner Production, Energy Conversion and Management, and Waste Management, etc. Some of his works were selected as “Editor’s Choice Paper�, “Most Downloaded Paper� and “Highly Cited Paper�. Dr. Zhang is the recipient of Best Lab Demonstrator in Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at NUS (2019), Shanghai Excellent Graduates (2015), Chinese National Scholarship for Graduate Students (2014) and an industrial award from Suzhou Industrial Park (2014).
