Transformation of Liquid Waste to Energy: Methods, Challenges, and Opportunities

Transformation of Liquid Waste to Energy: Methods, Challenges and Opportunities brings together the latest developments, technologies, and approaches for the transformation of organic waste into energy, enabling the reader to tackle head-on the challenges of valorizing waste as bioenergy. The book focuses on liquid waste, notably covering wastewater treatment and energy recovery, the production of biofuels, and microbial fuel cells, as well as high-rate anaerobic processes and utilization of municipal/industrial wastewater for energy recovery. Each chapter presents the latest developments in transforming different types of liquid waste into bioenergy and discusses conventional methods alongside novel and emerging technologies.

This new volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy is of interest to all those with an interest in waste-to-energy, bioenergy, waste management, chemical engineering, and sustainability, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, scientists, R&D, industrial practitioners, and policymakers.
