Infos

Published as part of Dr. Yves Gangon’s Woodhead Series on Bioenergy and broken into eight chapters, Bioenergy Production from Municipal Sewage Sludge: Technological Advancements and Greenhouse Gases Emissions, this book considers various bioenergy production applications and sewage waste sludge treatments that promote further development of bioenergy – a key player in the industry’s transition to net zero. Specific chapters cover topics including bioenergy production in the sludge anaerobic digestion process, pyrolysis of sludge for bioenergy production, and the potential limitations or challenges of bioenergy production from sludge. This book also carefully considers greenhouse gas emissions and control in sludge treatment processes. Written for undergraduate and graduate students studying environmental science, engineering, or related fields, as well as industrial researchers and practitioners, and wastewater treatment plant operators alike, Bioenergy Production from Municipal Sewage Sludge: Technological Advancements and Greenhouse Gases Emissions is sure to be a welcomed resource.

Autor

Qilin Wang is Professor in Environmental Engineering at University of Technology Sydney . His research focuses on the development of innovative technologies to revolutionize the science and practice of urban water management. He has developed a few award-winning technologies to maximize energy recovery from wastewater/waste, to achieve carbon-neutral wastewater treatment, to reduce waste production, to improve wastewater treatment performance through innovative nitrogen removal processes, to mitigate greenhouse gas (N2O) emission, to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance genes, and to increase the capacity of anaerobic digesters, among others. Some of these technologies have been demonstrated at pilot scale and are being demonstrated at full-scale plants. Jing AI is assistant research fellow at the National Engineering Research Center of Industrial Wastewater Detoxification and Resource Recovery, Research Center for Eco-environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her research focuses on the development of innovative technologies to treat and recycle organic waste-solids and their relevant ecological effects on the environment. She has made a series of innovative achievements in developing conditioning agents and techniques for efficient separation of excessed sludge bound water, coupling technologies of deep dewatering and resource utilization for waste sludges, and evaluating transformation mechanisms of organic matter and relevant biological effects in sludge (water) thermochemical treatment.
