Apart from being termed as a pollution source, agriculture and kitchen waste is also a rich source of carbohydrates, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins, and can be utilized to develop value-added products and for energy production, which is the main theme of this book. It also focuses on the minimization of this waste via different routes like conversion into bio-fertilizers, organic acids, other industrial products, and efficient energy production. It comprises different topics and concepts related to waste utilization contributed by recognized researchers and experts.
Features:
- Covers all the technical aspects of utilization of agricultural and kitchen waste.
- Discusses the quality characteristics of value-added products.
- Provides overview of different options for processing of organic wastes.
- Includes production of acids and enzymes from agriculture/kitchen wastes.
- Reviews effects of kitchen/agricultural waste on environment and its role in pollution control.
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in chemical and environmental engineering.
