This book covers a broad spectrum of topics on circular bioeconomy including underlying concepts, biomass conversion mechanisms, types of value-added products and technological advances in waste

recycling. It also covers key aspects of a sustainable biorefinery like design and innovation, environmental and socio-economic impact, life cycle assessment, policy and regulations.

Sustainable circular bioeconomy (CBE) plays a key role in realizing the objective of Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The expanding population and industrialization...

This book describes the extraction, production, characterizations of bioflocculants with a focus on their mechanisms and applications. The volume explores various bioflocculants from plants, microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and algae. The chapters cover degradation of new emergent pollutants from industries using bioflocculants, and characterization of wastewater at microbiological and molecular levels with help of upgraded techniques, among others. The book inspires researchers or academicians to advance research in the field of environmental biotechnology, bioremediation technologies...

This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications related to membrane technologies for water and wastewater treatment as presented by leading researchers at the 7th IWA Regional Membrane Technology Conference (IWA-RMTC), held in Palermo, Italy on June 18-21, 2024. The event took place together with the International Conference on Wider-Uptake of Water Resource Recovery from Wastewater Treatment (ICWRR). The contributions cover a wide range of topics such as membrane materials and configurations, hybrid membrane processes, drinking water treatment,...

Sustainable Industrial Design and Waste Management was inspired by the need to have a text that enveloped awareness and solutions to the ongoing issues and concerns of waste generated from industry. The development of science and technology has increased human capacity to extract resources from nature and it is only recently that industries are being held accountable for the detrimental effects the waste they produce has on the environment. Increased governmental research, regulation and corporate accountability are digging up issues pertaining to pollution control and waste...
