商品描述
Plantation crop residues are a significant waste products of modern horticulture. These residues, derived from numerous plantation crops, such as cocoa, coffee, rubber, tea, areca nuts, palmyra palm, and coconut, are usually left to decompose, leading to environmental degradation, pollution of groundwater, and health hazards. However, with the growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, innovative approaches are necessary to utilize these residues. This book aims to comprehensively explore the potential of plantation crop waste valorization, showcasing innovative technologies and applications for transforming waste materials into value-added commodities, biofuels, and platform chemicals for a sustainable economy.
Plantation Crop Wastes: Valorization for Economic Sustainability addresses various aspects of the plantation crop waste-to-wealth paradigm and will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking sustainable solutions for the management of plantation crop waste.
Covers biorefinery approaches to plantation crop wastes in different domains and applications; Explores the economic viability and policy implications of plantation crop waste valorization; Provides a lifecycle analysis of various waste valorization processes and products.
