About this ebook
The book "Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals: Microbial Fermentation of Biowastes" by Le Zhang, Yen Wah Tong, and Jingxin Zhang focuses on strategic advances in converting organic waste into renewable bioenergy and biochemicals, alongside microbial plastic biodegradation. [1, 2, 3]
According to the chapter breakdowns provided by Elsevier Shop and Amazon, the main topics covered include: [1, 2]
1. Conversion of Common Biowastes (Chapters 2–6)
Reviews the progress of converting specific types of abundant organic wastes to bioenergy and biochemicals via enhanced anaerobic digestion: [1, 2]
  • Food waste
  • Agricultural waste
  • Manure
  • Wastewater and sludge
  • Algal residues [1, 2]
2. Performance-Enhancing Strategies (Chapters 7–14)
Summarizes technical methodologies used to maximize production, optimize process dynamics, and improve the efficiency of microbial fermentation and anaerobic digestion: [1, 2]
  • Additive strategy: Principles and impacts of chemical or materials-based additives.
  • Multi-stage bioreactor strategy: Structuring systems into independent microbial phases.
  • Microbial bioaugmentation strategy: Introducing specialized microbial strains to bolster indigenous populations.
  • Genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs): Metabolic engineering and genetic approaches to building robust cell platforms.
  • Co-digestion strategy: Mixing multiple waste streams for optimal nutrient balancing.
  • Feedstock pre-treatment strategy: Breaking down complex lignocellulosic or organic structures.
  • Enzyme applications and technologies: Enzymatic breakdown pathways.
  • Hybrid technologies: Combining multiple fermentation styles or physico-chemical integrations. [1, 2]
3. Resource Recovery & Volatile Fatty Acids (Chapters 15–16)
  • Enhanced acidogenic fermentation: Production pathways for recovering high-value volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from organic waste.
  • Functional microbial characteristics: Microbial communities and actions operating inside acidogenic fermenters. [1]
4. Plastic Biodegradation (Chapter 17)
  • Recent advancements in microbial fermentation for the biodegradation of plastics and microplastics inside bioreactors to tackle "white pollution". [1, 2]
