This volume focuses on how waste biomass can be transformed into useful
biomaterials, food and feed, fuel, and chemicals by using various
processes such as chemical, physical, thermal, biological, and
biotechnological procedures.
Biomass from biowastes, such as agriculture crop residues, wood
processing residues, forest residues, food waste, industrial waste, and
municipal solid waste, have emerged as potential substrates for
bioenergy production. This volume explores the key features of
biotechnology for waste biomass utilization, presenting scientific and
technical literature on sustainable waste biomass management as well as
for biomass conversion for biofuels, chemicals, and other new commercial
products. It discusses a variety of novel biotechnical applications and
interventions, including microbial fermentation and anaerobic digestion,
biotechnological modes of xylooligosaccharides production, multifaceted
utilization of microalgal biomass, vermiculture and vermicomposting, and
more.
Key features:
- Provides the most recent information about waste biomass utilization
for the production of biofuels and biochemicals
- Shows a wide range of novel technologies in the field of biotechnology
towards waste biomass utilization
- Focuses on the utilization of microbial resources for waste biomass
conversion into value-added products
- Explores methods for food wastes and crop wastes conversion into
biofuels and biochemicals
- Provides the scientific information describing various examples and
case studies which aid gaining knowledge to researchers and
academicians
With chapters from eminent researchers who have significant global
experience in the field of waste biomass management, this volume
delivers a wealth of valuable information for researchers involved in
bioenergy utilization. It will also be an essential source for
academicians, researchers, economists, policymakers, and policy
analysts.
