Waste Valorisation for Bioenergy and Bioproducts: Biofuel, 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. The book thoroughly examines the conversion of waste-to-energy from the following waste streams: • Commercial, institutional, and residential food wastes, particularly those currently disposed of in landfills. • Biosolids, organic-rich aqueous streams, and sludges from municipal wastewater treatment processes. • Manure slurries from concentrated livestock operations. • 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. • Biogas derived from any of the above feedstock streams such as landfill gas. 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 Valorisation for Bioenergy and Bioproducts: Biofuel, Biogas, and Other Value-Added Products from Different Waste Streams 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
