Description
Processing of Biomass Waste: Technological Upgradation and Advancement focuses on the exploitation of various waste management technologies and their associated process (microbial/chemical/physical) as tools to simultaneously generate value during treatment processes, including degradation/detoxification/stabilization toxic and hazardous contaminants. The book explores wastes as a veritable resource for wealth creation, with particular focus on resources recoverable from diverse wastes using special intervention of biotechnological tools. Other sections highlight recent technologies of waste bioprocessing in biorefinery approaches and enlighten on different approaches.The book encompasses advanced and updated information as well as future directions for young researchers and scientists who are working in the field of waste management, with a focus on sustainable value generation.- Includes cutting-edge technologies in waste bioprocessing- Focuses on applications of molecular biotechnological tools in waste bioprocessing- Provides natural and eco-friendly solutions to deal with the problem of pollution aiming value generation- Details underlying mechanisms of waste bioprocessing approaches that cover microbes for the simultaneous value generation and removal of emerging contaminants- Includes field studies on the application of biorefinery approach for eco-restoration of contaminated sites- Presents recent advances and challenges in waste bioprocessing research and applications for sustainable development
