    Biogas production using waste water: Methodologies and applications
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Yadav P.; Singh R.P.; Singh S.K.; Mahjabin; Kumar A.; Raj A.; Ferreira L.F.R.
    Biogas is competitive, viable, and generally a sustainable energy resource due to abundant supply of cheap feedstock's and availability of a wide range of biogas applications in heating, power generation, fuel, and raw materials for further processing and production of sustainable chemicals including hydrogen, and carbon dioxide and biofuels. Biogas can also be used in fuel cells for direct conversion to electricity and raw material for hydrogen and transport fuel production which is a significant pathway to sustainable energy development. Enriched biogas or biomethane can be containerized or injected to gas supply mains for use as renewable natural gas. Biogas digesters provide an opportunity for integrated waste management systems that combine waste treatment, energy generation, and resource recovery. By integrating biogas digesters into waste management infrastructure, it becomes possible to create closed-loop systems that maximize the potential of organic waste while minimizing environmental impacts. This holistic approach promotes sustainable practices, reduces reliance on conventional waste treatment methods, and creates a more circular and resource-efficient economy. � 2024 Elsevier Inc.

    Membrane processes for wastewater treatment
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Singh G.; Yadav P.; Singh S.K.; Ranjan N.; Verma H.; Ferreira L.F.R.; Kumar A.
    In last two decades, rising global population and industrial revolution significantly enhanced the release of waste water in the environment. Accumulation of waste water adversely affects the soil and water ecosystem and ultimately health of human beings. However various traditional methods physiochemical and biological methods have been employed for the wastewater treatment. In general, conventional wastewater treatment methods are successful in eliminating a large portion of degradable organic compounds and suspended solids found in wastewater. Nevertheless, to achieve more advanced treatment and effectively remove the contaminants, membrane separation technology has been considered as one of the effective approach. This chapter briefly describes the different approaches of membrane separation technologies, processes utilized for the waste water management. � 2024 Elsevier Inc.
