Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Resource Recovery from Wastes

Includes the latest and innovative research and technological developments in the biotechnology and bioengineering pertaining to various resource(s) recovery from wastes. The contents are organized into two broader sections covering resource recovery from industrial wastewater and resource recovery from solid wastes. Sections cover energy, bioproducts, nutrients, municipal food wastes, electronic wastes, agricultural waste and others. The state-of-the-art situation, potential advantages and limitations are also provided, along with strategies to overcome limitations.

This book is a useful guide into research demands in solid and liquid waste treatment and management for environmental/economic sustainability.
