Description

The most practiced options of environmentally-sound waste treatment are composting and anaerobic digestions, both carried out by microorganisms. This book covers the state-of-the-art of biological waste treatment and the role microorganisms play in it. Review From the reviews:“The work highlights different aspects of microbial composting and anaerobic digestion of organic waste materials. Each of the 16 chapters, contributed by experts in the field, is well written with numerous excellent references and cutting-edge information. … The figures and tables aid in the understanding of the material. Though the work is geared toward researchers in the field, it can be used in graduate-level courses on the topic. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals/practitioners.” (M. E. Lenczewski, Choice, Vol. 48 (1), September, 2010) From the Back Cover Among the goals of environmentally sound waste treatment is the recycling of organic wastes. The most practiced options are composting and anaerobic digestion, both processes being carried out by microorganisms. This book provides an overview of the various ways microbes are doing their job and gives the reader an impression of their potential. The sixteen chapters of this book summarize the advantages and disadvantages of treatment processes, whether they are aerobic like composting or work without oxygen like anaerobic digestion for biogas (methane) production. These chapters show the potential of microorganisms to create valuable resources from otherwise wasted materials. These resources include profitable organic, humus-like soil conditioners or fertilizer components which are often suppressive to plant diseases. Composts may thus improve soil carbon sequestration, or support sustainable agriculture by reducing the need for mineral fertilizers or pesticides. If anaerobic digestion is used, the biogas produced may replace fossil fuels. Thus, proper biological waste treatment with the help of microorganisms should contribute to a reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas production.
