Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering Solid Waste Management

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Wong Jonathan W-C, Tyagi R. D., Pandey Ashok

Couverture de l’ouvrage Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering

Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Solid Waste Management provides extensive coverage of new developments, state-of-the-art technologies, and potential future trends, reviewing the latest innovative developments in environmental biotechnology and bioengineering as they pertain to solid wastes, also revealing current research priority areas in solid waste treatment and management.

The fate of solid wastes can be divided into three major areas, recycling, energy recovery, and safe disposal. From this foundation, the book covers such key areas as biotechnological production of value added products from solid waste, bioenergy production from various organic solid wastes, and biotechnological solutions for safe, environmentally-friendly treatment and disposal. The state of the art situation, potential advantages, and limitations are discussed, along with proposed strategies on how to overcome limitations.

Section I. Bioproducts from Solid Wastes 1. Bioplastic for organic waste collection 2. Value added bioproducts from sewage sludge 3. Biopesticides production from solid wastes 4. Composting of organic wastes recycling 5. Vermitechnology for organic waste recycling 6. Biochar production and microbial interactions

Section II. Bioenergy from Solid Wastes 7. Anaerobic digestion of organic wastes 8. Biohydrogen from organic waste and biomas 9. Bioethanol production form agricultural wastes 10. Microbial fuel cells 11. Biotechnology for agricultural waste recycling

Section III. Environmental Protection & Waste Treatment 12. Metal and nutrient removal from Sewage sludge 13. Degradation of organic pollutants in biosolids 14. Biotechnology for management of plastic waste 15. Biological treatment of hazardous wastes 16. Biological methods of odour removal in waste treatment facilities 17. Biotechnological approaches in sludge dewatering 18. Landfill leachate treatment 19. Bioleaching for metal recovery from electronic wastes 20. Enzyme technology for waste treatment

Dr. Jonathan W-C. Wong, currently is a professor in the Department of Biology, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong SAR. He is also serving as the Director of the Sino-Forest Applied Research Centre for Pearl River Delta Environment (ARCPE), as well as the Hong Kong Organic Resource Centre (HKORC). He received his M.Phil. from the Chinese University Hong Kong and Ph.D. degree from Murdoch University, Australia. He joined the Hong Kong Baptist University in 1992 and continues to serve in various capacities. Prof. Wong is serving as a Visiting Professor in the China University of Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University and Shangdong University, China. He conducts research in organic waste management and treatment with particular emphasis on composting and bioenergy production striving towards zero-waste organic waste disposal. He chaired three international conferences on solid waste (ICSWHK 2011, 2013 and 2015). He has served/serving as member of International Advisory Board, Scientific committee and in other capacities of various International Conferences. Prof. Wong was bestowed with Medal of Honor by the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in 2011 for his service and contribution to the Environment. He is elected as a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He is serving in the Editorial Board of six journals, notably, as Regional Editor of ‘Environmental Technology’ and Board member of ‘Bioresource Technology’. Prof. Wong has authored over 500 publications including refereed journals, conferences proceedings, four patents, more than 100 technical reports, editing 12 books/journals volumes and others.
Prof. R. D. Tyagi is an internationally recognized Professor of Biochemical Engineering and biotransformation with ‘Institut national de la recherché Scientifique - Eau, terre, et environnement’, (INRS-ETE), University of Québec, Canada. He also holds Adjunct Professor position at the University of Missouri-Columbia, USA. Pr
  • Reviews available bioprocesses for the production of bioproducts from solid waste
