Description
This book gives an overview on techniques and future perspectives of various aspects of waste biomass management. It also presents the economic and environmental evaluation, and also the monetary value-benefits and sustainability of the different processes. Recycling processes of lignocellulosic biomass from palm oil mill waste are covered, as well as from sugar industry waste and agriculture waste. It also includes thermal and non-thermal technologies for resource recovery from waste biomass. Challenges in the reuse and recycling of waste biomass are discussed, i.e., the hygienic safety in biomass management and bioremediation technologies for conversion into valuable products. The book is aiming at scientists, researchers and students alike, who are working in the research areas pertaining to waste management Dr. Vipin Chandra Kalia is presently serving as Chief Scientist and Deputy Director of Microbial Biotechnology and Genomics at CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi. He is a Professor, AcSIR, and received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Genetics from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. He has been elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences (FNASc); the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (FNAAS); and the Association of Microbiologists of India (FAMI). His main areas of research are Microbial biodiversity, Bioenergy, Biopolymers, Genomics, Microbial evolution, Quorum sensing, Quorum quenching, Drug discovery and Antimicrobials. He has published 99 papers in prominent journals including Nature Biotechnology; Biotechnology Advances; and Trends in Biotechnology, and has authored 14 book chapters. In addition, he has edited three books: (i) Quorum Sensing vs Quorum Quenching: A Battle with No End in Sight (2015); Microbial Factories Vol. 1: Biofuels, Waste Treatment (2015); and (iii) Microbial Factories Vol. 2: Biodiversity, Biopolymers, Bioactive Molecules (2015).
