This important volume addresses biofuel feedstock challenges and potential and renewable fuels from carbon sources; process intensification and green chemistry through microwave irradiation, hydrodynamic cavitation, hydrothermal processes, and using ionic liquids; evaluation of nonconventional and emerging sustainable feedstock, such as microalg
Renewable fuel research and process development requires interdisciplinary approaches involving chemists and physicists from both scientific and engineering backgrounds. Here is an important volume that emphasizes green chemistry and green engineering principles for sustainable process development from an interdisciplinary point of view. It creates an enriching knowledge base on green chemistry of biofuel production, sustainable process development, and green engineering principles for renewable fuel production. This book includes chapters contributed by both research scientists and research engineers with significant experience in biofuel chemistry and processes.



The book offers an abundance of scientific experimental methods and analytical procedures and interpretation of the results that capture the state-of-the-art knowledge in this field. The wide range of topics make this book a valuable resource for academicians, researchers, industrial practitioners and scientists, and engineers in various renewable energy fields.



Key features:



• Emphasizes green chemistry and green engineering principles for sustainable process development for biofuel production



• Discusses a wide array of biofuels from algal biomass to waste-to-energy technologies and wastewater treatment and activated sludge processes



• Presents advances and developments in biofuel green chemistry and green engineering, including process intensification (microwaves/ultrasound), ionic liquids, and green catalysis



• Looks at environmental assessment and economic impact of biofuel production

Veera Gnaneswar Gude, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Mississippi State University (MSU). A prolific author of journal articles, book chapters, and more, he has over 15 years of academic, research, and industrial experience in biofuels, desalination, and water/wastewater treatment in scientific and technological areas. He has delivered many invited lectures, keynote speeches, and scientific research and educational presentations. He has organized many workshops on water-energy-environment nexus topics at national and international conferences and was the chair and board representative for the clean energy and water division of the American Solar Energy Society between 2011 and 2016. He is a member of several editorial boards and editor for many scientific journals, including ASCE Journal of Environmental Engineering. His research is supported by many organizations, including NSF, USEPA, USGS, USDA, and many industrial and international agencies.
