Description : Waste Valorization for Bioenergy and Bioproducts: Biofuels, Biogas, and Value-Added Products presents a comprehensive review of the state of the art of waste valorization from solid, liquid, and gaseous waste streams. This book thoroughly examines the conversion of waste-to-energy from the following waste streams:_x000D_ Commercial, institutional, and residential food wastes, particularly those currently disposed of in landfills_x000D_ Biosolids, organic-rich aqueous streams, and sludges from municipal wastewater treatment processes_x000D_ Manure slurries from concentrated livestock operations_x000D_ Organic wastes from industrial operations, including, but not limited to, food and beverage manufacturing, biodiesel production, and integrated biorefineries, as well as other industries such as pulp and paper, forest products, and pharmaceuticals_x000D_ Biogas derived from any of the above feedstock streams, such as landfill gas_x000D_ Each chapter critically examines the challenges and opportunities in the production of waste-to-energy processes, along with addressing the acceptability and marketability of transforming wastes into value-added products. The final chapters analyze the techno-economic viability and the sustainability dimensions of valorizing biological wastes. Waste Valorization for Bioenergy and Bioproducts: Biofuels, Biogas, and Value-Added Products is a one-stop resource for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers involved in waste-to-energy and waste management and will be of interest to environmental, chemical, and process engineers involved in bioenergy and renewable energy. Key features_x000D_ Presents the state of the art of waste valorization strategies and emerging technologies that have the potential to revolutionize waste-to-energy_x000D_ Examines the challenges and opportunities in scaling up production and improving the acceptability and marketability of waste-to-energy technologies and conversion to value-added products_x000D_ Evaluates a range of parameters, including the techno-economic viability and sustainability dimensions for the valorization of liquid, solid, and gaseous waste streams, providing a comparison of the medium to long-term performance of relevant waste-to-energy technologies_x000D_ About the editors Dr. Hwai Chyuan Ong Distinguished Professor at the School of Engineering and Technology, Sunway University, Malaysia, and Adjunct Professor at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia Dr. Islam Md Rizwanul Fattah Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia Dr. T.
