Bioenergy Recovery from Biomass Waste

The 1st Edition of Bioenergy Recovery from Biomass Waste provides an integrated examination of chemical and biological treatment methods for converting organic waste streams into usable energy. The text addresses major waste feedstocks, including municipal sewage sludge, food waste, algae, lignocellulosic waste, and livestock manure.

The content outlines specific conversion pathways and processing technologies. Detailed chapters address anaerobic digestion, sludge composting, and sludge pyrolysis, while examining the targeted production of medium-chain fatty acids. Additionally, the book covers algae preparation for bioenergy alongside methods for extracting high-value products from food waste and algal biomass.

As a volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy from Woodhead Publishing, this work establishes technical frameworks for converting raw waste into energy resources. It supports the research needs of graduate students, academic researchers, and environmental engineers seeking verified methods for resource recovery.
