Proper waste disposal is still a serious concern worldwide. This book addresses various types of wastes such as industrial, agricultural, and municipal solid and liquid wastes, their generation, and the status of waste management in developed and developing countries. It discusses advanced green technologies used in harnessing energy and bioproducts from wastes such as electricity, biofuel, biopolymers, fertilizers, and chemicals without damaging the quality of the environment but rather creating a source that is an added value to the environment. Through many applications and case studies, this comprehensive book helps readers build a state-of-the-art knowledge on waste utilization and energy generation.
FEATURES
- Provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of waste management practices, their challenges, and solutions from a global perspective
- Discusses conceptual principles and practices of various green technologies that can be used to generate valuable products from waste and improve environmental quality
- Includes case studies from the United States and Japan, providing detailed explanations of advanced bioremediation technologies
- Takes a holistic approach to waste management and bioproducts recovery
- Offers an easy-to-understand and target-oriented approach that helps both students and professionals advance their knowledge in creating wealth from waste
Written for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in environmental biotechnology, environmental microbiology, non-conventional energy sources, waste treatment technologies, environmental waste utilization, energy, and environment taught in universities and colleges. The book can also be used by professionals and researchers at different levels in related fields.
