Springer book “Production of Biofuels and Chemicals from Sustainable Recycling of Organic Solid Waste”

Recently, Springer has published a book entitled “Production of Biofuels and Chemicals from Sustainable Recycling of Organic Solid Waste” edited by Profs. Zhen Fang, RL Smith Jr. and Dr. LJ Xu, Springer, Hardcover ISBN 978-981-16-6161-7, 506 pages, 2022 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-6162-4).

World demand for polymers and their many related products has led to an explosive increase in the amount of plastic waste generated that is having serious consequences on the environment, nature and human health. Sustainable recycling of organic solid waste (OSW), which includes municipal solid waste, organic sludge waste, polymer solid waste and agricultural waste, will become of even increasing importance, as world population increases and material recycle becomes a necessary characteristic of innovative technology. This text provides a compilation of state-of-the-art techniques for reducing, reusing and recycling OSW and for converting these underutilized carbon resources into valuable chemicals and biofuels with sustainable methods. Chapter topics include manufacture of value-added products such as fuels, commodity chemicals and bio-based functional materials from OSW feedstocks as well as methods for processing and handling many types of OSW.  Aimed at improving conversion effectiveness and developing innovative techniques for new value-added products, this book was conceived as a collection of studies on state-of-art techniques and developed specifically for producing fuels and chemicals from multiple organic solid wastes via sustainable recycling methods. Discussion on related topics in terms of recent advances and their assessment and the promise and prospects of new methods or new technological strategies are provided to readers in a concise and informative format. Each individual chapter was contributed by globally-selected experts or professionals and was peer-reviewed and edited for content and consistency in terminology.

This book contains 14 chapters contributed by leading experts in the field. The text is arranged into five key parts:

Part I. Introduction (Chapter 1)

Part II. Production of Biofuels and Chemicals by Thermo-Chemical Conversion Processes (Chapters 2-4)

Part III. Production of Biofuels and Chemicals by Biodegration (Chapters 5-7)

Part IV. Production of Liquid Biofuels with New Technologies (Chapters 8-12)

Part V. Techno-Economic Analysis (Chapters 13 and 14)

The text should be of interest to professionals in academia and industry who are working in the fields of natural renewable materials, biorefinery of lignocellulose, biofuels and environmental engineering. It can also be used as comprehensive references for university students with backgrounds in chemical engineering, material science and environmental engineering.

This book is the eleventh book of the series entitled, “Biofuels and Biorefineries”, (highly-downloaded books with 200 k chapter downloads and 4 books among “top 25% springer e-books”, Prof. Zhen Fang is serving as Editor-in-Chief), and the twentieth English book edited/authored by Prof. Zhen Fang since 2009.

 斯普林格新书《可持续回收有机固体废物生产生物燃料和化学品》出版

由方真老师、日本东北大学RL Smith Jr.教授和徐禄江博士主编的新书《可持续回收有机固体废物生产生物燃料和化学品》，最近由斯普林格公司出版发行。（精装，506页， ISBN 978-981-16-6161-7）(DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-6162-4)。

世界对聚合物及其许多相关产品的需求导致产生的塑料废物数量激增，对环境、自然和人类健康造成严重后果。随着世界人口的增加和材料回收成为创新技术的必要特征，包括城市固体废物、有机污泥废物、聚合物固体废物和农业废物在内的有机固体废物的可持续回收将变得越来越重要。本文提供了减少、再利用和再循环有机固废OSW(Organic Solid Waste)的最新技术汇编，并以可持续的方法将这些未充分利用的碳资源转化为有价值的化学品和生物燃料。本书主题包括从OSW原料制造附加值产品，如燃料、商品化学品和生物基功能材料，以及加工和处理多种类型OSW的方法。目的在提高转化效率和开发新的增值产品的创新技术，旨在收集最新技术的研究成果，专门用于通过可持续回收方法从多种有机固体废物中生产燃料和化学品。书以简洁、信息丰富的形式向读者提供了有关最新进展及其评估的相关主题讨论，以及新方法或新技术战略的前景和前景。每一章都由全球选定的专家或专业人士撰写，并经过同行审查和编辑，以确保内容和术语的一致性。

本书共有14章，由该领域的顶尖专家撰写。正文分为五个关键部分：

第一部分：导言（第一章）

第二部分：通过热化学转化工艺生产生物燃料和化学品（第2-4章）

第三部分：通过生物降解生产生物燃料和化学品（第5-7章）

第四部分：采用新技术生产液体生物燃料（第8-12章）

第五部分：技术经济分析（第13章和第14章）

这本书为在天然可再生材料、木质纤维素生物精炼、生物燃料和环境工程领域工作的学术界和工业界专业人提供了一个理想的参考指南。它也可以作为具有化学工程、材料科学和环境工程背景的大学生的综合参考资料。

这本书是斯普林格系列丛书“生物燃料和生物炼制- Biofuels and Biorefineries”第十一本书（方真老师担任该丛书总编辑，章节下载量（电子销售量）近20万次，他编著其中4 部专著已进入Springer高下载书籍前25%。），也是自2009年以来由方真老师编辑/撰写的第二十本英文书。
