The fate of solid wastes can be divided into three major areas, recycling, energy recovery, and safe disposal. From this foundation, the book covers such key areas as biotechnological production of value added products from solid waste, bioenergy production from various organic solid wastes, and biotechnological solutions for safe, environmentally-friendly treatment and disposal. The state of the art situation, potential advantages, and limitations are discussed, along with proposed strategies on how to overcome limitations.
- Reviews available bioprocesses for the production of bioproducts from solid waste
- Outlines processes for the production of energy from solid waste using biochemical conversion processes
- Lists various environmentally friendly treatments of solid waste and its safe disposal
