Resource Recovery from Wastes includes the latest and innovative research and technological developments in the biotechnology and bioengineering pertaining to various resource(s) recovery from wastes. The contents are organized into two broader sections covering: (1) Resource recovery from industrial wastewater and (2) Resource recovery from solid wastes. Section 1 is further subdivided in three sections viz. Energy, bioproducts and nutrients. Section 2 is further subdivided in four sections viz. Municipal & food wastes, Electronic wastes, Agricultural waste and others. The state of the art situation, potential advantages and limitations are provided; and the strategies to overcome the limitations are proposed. This book is a useful guide into the priority areas of current research demands in the solid and liquid waste treatment and management for environmental and economic sustainability. Provides state-of-art information and applications on microbiological and biotechnological interventions for the resource recovery Covers municipal & food wastes, electronic wastes and agricultural wastes Reviews current information related to bioremediation Contains recent information, clearly illustrated with tables, figures, pictures in a simple and scientific way Outlines different technological and biological aspects of resource recovery from industrial waste and effluents
