Published as part of Elsevier’s Applied Biotechnology Reviews, Advances in Biogas Technology presents a curated reference addressing the most important aspects of biogas production technologies. This book examines the principles and mechanics of anaerobic digestion (AD), the microbiology of AD and advances in novel microbial consortia, biogas from different feedstocks, such as municipal waste, agricultural waste, and industrial wastewater, as well as advances in bioreactor design and configuration, and innovations in AD technology. The book presents several case studies and considers the social impacts of biogas technology. Intended for researchers, academics, and students working in and studying biotechnology and bioprocess engineering, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, alternative fuels, renewable energy, and related areas, Advances in Biogas Technology will be a welcomed reference for those looking for up-to-date coverage of the latest advances in the field of biogas technology.Highlights the most advanced and innovative technologies for biogas productionIdentifies research gaps in the application of novel microorganisms, potential feedstocks and pretreatments, AI, reactor design and configuration, metabolic engineering, kinetic assessment and novel production methods to enhance biogas yieldsServes as an invaluable guide for those who produce effective and commercially viable biogas process technologies

Sustainable Solutions for Environmental Pollution: Urban Sustainability and Education for Waste Management explores methods for treating waste and pollution while examining strategies for managing environmental resources. It aims to underscore the critical role of education in promoting environmental sustainability, particularly in urban waste management. This book presents recent research and innovative ideas concerning sustainable environmental development, investigating the diverse impacts of pollution and the urgent need to address ecological costs associated with waste contamination. It also provides practical information for managing green resources through empirical analyses, reduction trials, and bioremediation techniques.Highlights the fundamentals and practical relevance of a framework for environmental safety and the future of sustainability in the ecosystemReports emerging trends and developments in waste management, including environmental pollution and contaminationProvides broad case studies to show the interconnection of environmental pollution and the impacts of sustainable development

This book presents state-of-the-art solid waste management in developing countries. It outlines the impact of poor solid waste management on human health and the environment and examines appropriate solid waste management technologies for the developing world. Contributions define waste recovery in a circular economy context and the informal sector's role, describe how sustainable and integrated solid waste management in developing countries contributes to reducing greenhouse gases and their effect on climate change, and analyze the financial and legislation aspects of solid waste management.Waste Management in Developing Countries will be an essential reference for researchers, scientists, and students in waste management and environmental sciences, as well as waste management practitioners, policymakers, municipal officials, and related industry professionals.

Plantation crop residues are a significant waste products of modern horticulture. These residues, derived from numerous plantation crops, such as cocoa, coffee, rubber, tea, areca nuts, palmyra palm, and coconut, are usually left to decompose, leading to environmental degradation, pollution of groundwater, and health hazards. However, with the growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, innovative approaches are necessary to utilize these residues. This book aims to comprehensively explore the potential of plantation crop waste valorization, showcasing innovative technologies and applications for transforming waste materials into value-added commodities, biofuels, and platform chemicals for a sustainable economy.Plantation  Crop Wastes: Valorization for Economic Sustainability addresses various aspects of the plantation crop waste-to-wealth paradigm and will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking sustainable solutions for the management of plantation crop waste.Covers biorefinery approaches to plantation crop wastes in different domains and applications;Explores the economic viability and policy implications of plantation crop waste valorization;Provides a lifecycle analysis of various waste valorization processes and products.
