Waste to Renewable Biohydrogen: Volume 1: Advances in Theory and Experiments provides a comprehensive overview of the advances, processes and technologies for waste treatment to hydrogen production. It introduces and compares the most widely adopted and most promising technologies, such as dark fermentation, thermochemical and photosynthetic processes. In this part, potential estimation, feasibility analysis, feedstock pretreatment, advanced waste-to-biohydrogen processes and each individual systems element are examined.
The book delves into the theoretical and experimental studies for the design and optimization of different waste-to-biohydrogen processes and systems. Covering several advanced waste-to-biohydrogen pretreatment and production processes, this book investigates the future trends and the promising pathways for biohydrogen production from waste.
- Discusses the potential, feasibility, progress, challenges and prospect of waste-to-biohydrogen technologies
- Explores the most promising waste-to-biohydrogen technologies including dark fermentation, thermochemical and photosynthetic processes
- Investigate the mechanisms and the effects of the influential factors on different waste-to-biohydrogen processes
