Wilеу | 2013 | ISBN: 1119943310 1118523334 9781119943310 9781118523360 | 552 pages | PDF | 15 MB
This book is an excellent compilation of engineering and scientific data pertaining to biological systems for both pollution control and energy production, providing real-world scientific information and scholarly research. This book is the first reference work to give a broad overview of bioprocesses for the mitigation of air pollution. Primarily intended for researchers and students in environmental engineering, biotechnology and applied microbiology, the book will also be of interest to industrial and governmental researchers.
This book focusses on biotechnological alternatives looking at both the optimization of bioreactors and the development of cleaner biofuels.
Structured in five parts, the book covers:
• Fundamentals and microbiological aspects
• Biofilters, bioscrubbers and other end-of-pipe treatment technologies
• Specific applications of bioreactors
• Biofuels production from pollutants and renewable resources (including biogas, biohydrogen, biodiesel and bioethanol) and its environmental impacts
• Case studies of applications including biotrickling filtration of waste gases, industrial bioscrubbers applied in different industries and biogas upgrading
