Biohydrogen - (Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals) by Ashok Pandey & Jo-Shu Chang & Patrick C Hallenbeck & Christian Larroche (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This book provides in-depth information on basic and applied aspects of biohydrogen production. It begins with an introduction to the topic, and follows with the basic scientific aspects of biohydrogen production, such as the enzyme involved in biohydrogen production, the microorganisms and metabolic engineering information. It then provides state-of-art information on various aspects of biohydrogen production methods such as from solid wastes, from industrial effluents, thermo-chemical route for biohydrogen production, etc. It also includes information on engineering aspects such as the design of bioreactors for biohydrogen production and scale-up issues. Finally, it touches on the issues of hydrogen economy and commercialization. The book introduces you to all aspects of biohydrogen research, helping you understand the various issues involved and plan your own research based on recent findings and commercial needs.

Review Quotes

"Editor Pandey...unites international editors and contributors to report on biohydrogen production at the molecular and metabolic level and to describe related engineering aspects, waste utilization, and large-scale commercial applications...The book will be useful for researchers and practitioners in biohydrogen, microbial bioprocesses, biofuels, and industrial waste." --ProtoView.com, February 2014
