Bio-Electrochemical Systems: Waste Valorization and Waste Biorefinery

by Kuppam Chandrasekhar (Editor), Satya Eswari Jujjavarapu (Editor)

Overview

This book addresses electro-fermentation for biofuel production and generation of high-value chemicals and biofuels using organic wastes. It covers the use of microbial biofilm and algae-based bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) for bioremediation and co-generation of valuable chemicals, including their practical applications. It explains BES design, integrated approaches to enhance process efficiency, and scaling-up technology for waste remediation, bio-electrogenesis, and resource recovery from wastewater.

Features:

• Provides information regarding bioelectrochemical systems, mediated value-added chemical synthesis, and waste remediation and resource recovery approaches.
• Covers the use of microbial biofilm and algae-based bioelectrochemical systems for bioremediation and co-generation of valuable chemicals.
• Explains waste-to-energy related concepts to treat industrial effluents along with bioenergy generation.
• Deals with various engineering approaches for chemicals production in eco-friendly manner.
• Discusses emerging electro-fermentation technology.

This book is aimed at senior undergraduates and researchers in industrial biotechnology, environmental science, civil engineering, chemical engineering, bioenergy and biofuels, and wastewater treatment.
