Biorefinery of Industrial Effluents for a Sustainable Circular Economy provides a combined approach on environmental engineering, which involves the improvement of the natural environment or remediation of polluted sites. In addition, it discusses bioprocess engineering involving the development of processes for the manufacture of products from biological materials to produce a valuable bioproduct. It covers sources, impacts, and applications of industrial effluents that could potentially be used as feedstock for the IEB with examples of applied research that demonstrates the relationship between the effluents, biorefinery, treatment and bioproduct recovery.Materials that can be produced from IEB and the treatment processes for such are considered.

Provides industrial effluents' source, characteristics, and treatmentAssists in designing an optimization strategy for maximizing efficiency of waste treatment and of bioresource utilization in terms of economic, environmental, and social impactExplains bio-based product recovery for a bio-based economyDiscusses advanced processes for simultaneous industrial effluents treatment and the generation of bio-based products of sufficient value

Engineered Biocomposites for Dye Adsorption compiles and discusses applications, mechanisms, and performance evaluation of various biocomposites during dye adsorption. The book analyzes the techno-economic and life-cycle assessment of biocomposites for dye adsorption. It highlights different adsorbent materials for dye degradation and resource recovery ranging from but not limited to activated carbon, biochar, hydrochar, pyrochar, waste fruits, waste industrial sludge, geological materials, graphene, carbon nanotubes, MXene, polymers, metals, nanomaterials, and metal-organic frameworks.The book shows how combining materials such as biocomposites significantly yields better dye adsorption than a single material and addresses conventional issues with adsorption such as adsorbent cost, effectiveness, regeneration, and sustainability and provides insights into the preparation and use of new adsorbent materials for dye removal from aqueous solutions. The information contained in this book will increase readers’ fundamental knowledge, guide future researchers, and can be incorporated into future works on experimental studies on dye adsorption. As such it serves as an indispensable resource and reference work for engineers, wastewater specialists, biotechnologists, chemists, microbiologists, researchers, and students studying industrial effluents, biomass, bioproducts, and adsorption processes.Offers a collection of the state-of-the-art dye removal methods using conventional and advanced/new adsorbentsProvides a detailed understanding of the methods of preparation and properties of new adsorbents and biocompositesIncludes applications of biocomposite adsorbents in dye removal, their effectiveness and limitations, and process optimization
