BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR ZERO WASTE THE USE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY TO MINIMIZE WASTE AND MAXIMIZE RESOURCE VALORIZATION In_ Biotechnology for Zero Waste: Emerging Waste Management Techniques,_ accomplished environmental researchers Drs. Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain and Ravi Kumar Kadeppagari deliver a robust exploration of the role of biotechnology in reducing waste and creating a zero-waste environment. The editors provide resources covering perspectives in waste management like anaerobic co-digestion, integrated biosystems, immobilized enzymes, zero waste biorefineries, microbial fuel cell technology, membrane bioreactors, nano biomaterials, and more. Ideal for sustainability professionals, this book comprehensively sums up the state-of-the-art biotechnologies powering the latest advances in zero-waste strategies. The renowned contributors address topics like bioconversion and biotransformation and detail the concept of the circular economy. _Biotechnology for Zero Waste_ effectively guides readers on the path to creating sustainable products from waste. The book also includes: * A thorough introduction to modern perspectives on zero waste drives, including anaerobic co-digestion as a smart approach for enhancing biogas production * Comprehensive explorations of bioremediation for zero waste, biological degradation systems, and bioleaching and biosorption of waste * Practical discussions of bioreactors for zero waste and waste2energy with biotechnology * An in-depth examination of emerging technologies, including nanobiotechnology for zero waste and the economics and commercialization of zero waste biotechnologies Perfect for process engineers, natural products, environmental, soil, and inorganic chemists, _Biotechnology for Zero Waste: Emerging Waste Management Techniques_ will also earn a place in the libraries of food technologists, biotechnologists, agricultural scientists, and microbiologists.
