Crude Glycerol – A Sustainable Feedstock for the Production of Biofuels and Biochemicals delves into the transformative potential of crude glycerol (CG) as a sustainable, cost-effective feedstock for biofuels and biochemicals. Covering essential topics such as the microbial fermentation of CG into valuable products like biohydrogen, biogas, and biobutanol, this book serves as a critical resource for researchers, industry professionals, and educators. It addresses various aspects of CG valorization, including its inherent impurities and purification techniques, alongside detailed discussions on the microbial production of key biochemicals such as butanediol, succinic acid, and lactic acid.
Each chapter is crafted to provide insights into bioprocess engineering, genetic manipulation of microbial catalysts, and techno-economic analyses to ensure effective conversion and commercialization of biofuels and biochemicals derived from CG.
