WASTE VALORIZATION FOR BIOENERGY AND BIOPRODUCTS : BIOFUELS BIOGAS AND VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS PB – HWAI CHYUAN ONG-ISLAM MD RIZWANUL FATTAH-INDRA MAHLIA

Waste Valorization for Bioenergy and Bioproducts: Biofuels, Biogas, and Value-Added Products presents a review of the state-of-the-art of waste valorization from solid, liquid, and gaseous waste streams. The book examines the conversion of waste-to-energy from the following waste streams: Commercial, institutional, and residential food wastes, particularly those currently disposed of in landfills, Biosolids, organic-rich aqueous streams, and sludges from municipal wastewater treatment processes, Manure slurries from concentrated livestock operations, Organic wastes from industrial operations, including, but not limited to, food and beverage manufacturing, biodiesel production, and integrated biorefineries, as well as other industries such as pulp and paper, forest products, and pharmaceuticals. Other sections discuss Biogas derived from any of the above feedstock streams such as landfill gas. Each chapter critically examines the challenges and opportunities in the production of waste-to energy processes, along with addressing the acceptability and marketability of transforming wastes into value-added products.
