Biorefinery of Industrial Effluents for a Sustainable Circular Economy

Bio-Refinery of Industrial Effluents for a Sustainable Circular Economy provides a combined approach between environmental engineering, which involves the improvement of the natural environment or remediation of polluted sites. In addition, it discusses bioprocess engineering involving the development of processes for the manufacture of products from biological materials to produce a valuable bioproduct. This book covers knowledge on sources, impacts, and applications of industrial effluents that could potentially be used as feedstock for the IEB with examples of applied research that demonstrates the relationship between the effluents, biorefinery, treatment and bioproduct recovery. Materials that can be produced from IEB and the treatment processes for such are considered. - Provides industrial effluents' source, characteristics, and treatment- Assists in designing an optimization strategy for maximizing efficiency of waste treatment and of bioresource utilization in terms of economic, environmental, and social impact- Explains bio-based product recovery for a bio-based economy- Discusses advanced processes for simultaneous industrial effluents treatment and the generation of bio-based products of sufficient value
