The Role of Catalysis for the Sustainable Production of Bio-fuels and Bio-chemicals
The Role of Catalysis for the Sustainable Production of Bio-fuels and Bio-chemicals describes the importance of catalysis for the sustainable production of biofuels and biochemicals, focused primarily on the state-of-the-art catalysts and catalytic processes expected to play a decisive role in the "green" production of fuels and chemicals from biomass. In addition, the book includes general elements regarding the entire chain of biomass production, conversion, environment, economy, and life-cycle assessment. Very few books are available on catalysis in production schemes using biomass or its primary conversion products, such as bio-oil and lignin. This book fills that gap with detailed discu...
Next-Generation Algae, Volume 1
NEXT-GENERATION ALGAE This book brings together experts in relevant fields to describe the successful application of algae and their derivatives in agriculture, improving agricultural sustainability, harvesting and processing, food security, fishery, aquafarming, agriculture pollution, and state-of-the-art developments of algae in commercial and agriculture utilization. This book provides up-to-date and cutting-edge information on the application of algae in producing sustainable solutions to various challenges that arise from an increase in agricultural production, as well as its utilization in the bioremediation of industrial wastewater. Moreover, the book provides detailed information abo...
Water Treatment Technologies for the Removal of High-Toxity Pollutants
Water is essential for life, a strategic resource for every country and population. Its availability and sanitary safety is highly connected with the health and economy status of population. Burden of disease due to polluted water is a major public health problem throughout the world. Many pollutants in water streams have been identified as toxic and harmful to the environment and human health, and among them arsenic, mercury and cadmium are considered as high priority ones. Providing population with safe drinking water became the priority and at the same time a big challenge for the modern society. Many funding agencies in various countries have assigned a high priority to the envir- mental...
Environmental Bioengineering
The past 30 years have seen the emergence of a growing desire worldwide that positive actions be taken to restore and protect the environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution – air, water, soil, and noise. Since pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste production, the seemingly idealistic demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as an unrealistic demand for zero waste. However, as long as waste continues to exist, we can only attempt to abate the subsequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. Three major questions usually arise when a particular type of pollution has been identi ed: (1) How serious is the pollution? (2) Is the techno...
Anaerobic Biotechnology for Bioenergy Production
Anaerobic biotechnology is a cost-effective and sustainable means of treating waste and wastewaters that couples treatment processes with the reclamation of useful by-products and renewable biofuels. This means of treating municipal, agricultural, and industrial wastes allows waste products to be converted to value-added products such as biofuels, biofertilizers, and other chemicals. Anaerobic Biotechnology for Bioenergy Production: Principles and Applications provides the reader with basic principles of anaerobic processes alongside practical uses of anaerobic biotechnology options. This book will be a valuable reference to any professional currently considering or working with anaerobic biotechnology options.
Water-Energy-Nexus in the Ecological Transition
This volume includes selected contributions presented during the 3rd edition of the international conference on WaterEnergyNEXUS, which was held in Tunisia in December 2020. This conference was organized by the University of Sfax (Tunisia), in cooperation with the Sanitary Environmental Engineering Division (SEED) of the University of Salerno (Italy), the Advanced Institute of Water Industry at Kyungpook National University (Korea) and The Energy and Resources Institute, TERI (India). The WaterEnergyNEXUS series of conferences are supported by the UNESCO World Water Association Programme (WWAP) and the International Water Association (IWA). It also enjoys the patronage of several internation...
Streptococci and the Host
Streptococci and enterococci are the etiologic agents of infectious diseases that rank among the most severe in human pathology. The diagnosis, antibiotherapy, and prevention of the streptococcal diseases have improved considerably. However, the reemergence of severe streptococcal and enterococcal diseases constitutes a growing public health con cern, which remains open to scientific and medical debate. The XIII'h Lancefield International Symposium on Streptococci and Streptococcal Diseases, held at Institut Pasteur, Paris, France, September 16---2el, 1996, attracted 505 par ticipants from 43 countries. Twenty-two percent of the participants were students, a clear sign of the intense interes...
Localized Energy Transition in the 4th Industrial Revolution
This book presents a holistic view on localized energy transition while addressing current challenges associated with the production of biofuels, introducing new materials to produce solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, and digital systems for sustainable energy monitoring on a small scale, carbon capture, and sequestration. Also, each chapter of the book addresses specific aspects of the renewable and sustainable energy space while focusing more on energy improvement and storage technologies that are practical focused. Features: Offers useful information on new forms of renewable energy generation with reference to Industry 4.0. Illustrates practical approaches to energy transition. Provides guidance on renewable energy sources and energy storage systems. Discusses the application of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)-related approaches to emerging energy storage technologies. Includes studies that reveal approaches to realizing productivity, profitability, and increased return on investment (ROI). This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mechanical, chemical, and mechatronics engineering and renewable energy systems.
Arsenic in Soil and Groundwater Environment
This volume presents the recent developments in the field of arsenic in soil and groundwater. Arranged into nine sections, the text emphasizes the global occurrences of arsenic in the environment, particularly on its source, pathways, behavior, and effects it has on soils, plants, water, animals, and humans. It also covers the diverse issues of arsenic in the mining environment, arsenic emanating from hydrothermal springs, and the geochemical modeling of arsenic adsorption to oxide surfaces. Finally, the text includes different cost effective removal mechanisms of arsenic from drinking water using natural red earth, solar oxidation, and arsenic oxidation by ferrrate.Written in simple English...
