Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Resource Recovery from Wastes

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: (1) Resource recovery from industrial wastewater and (2) Resource recovery from solid wastes. Section 1 is further subdivided in three sections viz. Energy, bioproducts and nutrients. Section 2 is further subdivided in four sections viz. Municipal & food wastes, Electronic wastes, Agricultural waste and others. The state of the art situation, potential advantages and limitations are provided; and the strategies to overcome the limitations are proposed. This book is a useful guide into the priority areas of current research demands in the solid and liquid waste treatment and management for environmental and economic sustainability. Provides state-of-art information and applications on microbiological and biotechnological interventions for the resource recoveryCovers municipal & food wastes, electronic wastes and agricultural wastesReviews current information related to bioremediationContains recent information, clearly illustrated with tables, figures, pictures in a simple and scientific wayOutlines different technological and biological aspects of resource recovery from industrial waste and effluents INDICE: Section 1: Resource recovery from industrial wastewate 1.1: Energy Recovery of methane from wastewaters Bioelectricity generation from industrial effluents using microbial fuel Cells Biohydrogen 1.2: Bioproducts Bacterial bioflocculant from starch industrial wastewater Exopolysacchirides Recovery of chitosan from natural biotic wastes 1.3: Nutrients Nitrogen recovery Phosphorus recovery Section 2: Resource recovery from solid wastes 2.1: Municipal and food wastes Bio-based products from municipal and industrial wastes Recovery of clean renewable energy from municipal solid waste Biopolymers from food waste Resource recovery from inert municipal wastes Phosphorus recovery from incinerated sewage sludge ash Bioeconomy of Municipal Solid Waste using Gas fermentation 2.2: Electronic wastes Recovery of gold from electronic wastes Resource recovery from button cell battery waste 2.3: Agricultural waste Recovery of energy, nutrients and water resources from agriculture and aquaculture wastes Energy recovery from agri-biomass using gasification Valorization of lignocellulosic-based wastes Recovery of high value products from sugarcane industry wastes 2.4: Others Recovery of minerals from low-grade ores Bio-oil recovery from plastic waste Bioleaching and bio mining
