Opportunities for Biomass and Organic Waste Valorisation
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-48885-7 (ISBN)
Spanning twelve chapters and divided into the following four key parts, the book offers solutions to industry and research on:
Quantifying organic waste: An overview of potential sources and volumes is offered, with an identification and characterisation of solid biowaste residues.
Biological treatment, covering the latest norms and standards; a biorefinery approach for the sugar industry; an integrated waste management approach for municipal sewage treatment; biogas production from abattoir waste; optimisation of biogas production from animal waste; and integrated bioremediation and beneficiation of bio-based waste.
Mechanical and chemical treatment, covering the beneficiation of sawdust waste; developing sustainable biobased polymer and bio-nanocomposite materials; and the valorisation of waste mango seeds.
Thermal treatment, which evaluates different municipal solid waste recycling targets in terms of energy recovery and CO2 reduction.
