Overview

Industrial Enzymes for Biofuels Production: Recent Updates and Future Trends focuses on resolving existing bottlenecks in enzymes mediated biomass to biofuels production processes through updating recent scientific knowledge and technology developments. The book provides low cost sustainable approaches to lower the cost of enzymes production following different approaches. It is specifically focused on industrial aspects of enzymes used in biofuels production processes by presenting in-depth study of existing issues related to practical viability and long-term sustainability. The book covers detailed discussions on market scenario of industrial enzymes used in biofuels production processes and compares them on both lab and industrial scale. Users will find this to be a great resource that also helps them develop low cost green technologies for enzyme development in biofuels production.

Author Information

Dr. Neha Srivastava has received PhD in Biotechnology from Department of Molecular and Cellular Engineering, SHIATS, India in the area of bioenergy. She is working as Research Scientist Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, IIT (BHU) Varanasi, India. She has published more than 80 research articles in the in peer reviewed journals of SCI impact factor and have filed 03 patents, 1 technology transfer and 24 published books & two book series of international renowned publisher. She is working on bioprocess technology and waste to biofuels production followed by nanocatalyst development through green route (Microbial screening and enzymes; production and enhancement, biohydrogen production from waste biomass, bioethanol production). Professor P.K Mishra is presently working as the Full time professor and Head, Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University). He has published more than 100 research and review article in national and international journals. He has teaching experience of 20 years. Currently he engaged with the research in the area of Bio-energy namely Bio-butanol and bio-hydrogen, waste water treatment e g bio-remediation, photo-degradation and adsorption, Nano-materials and their applications and recently we also started working in the area of Ultra Filtration and Pervaporation. In addition to these R&D work I take keen interest in the development of good eco-system for Start-ups in the Institute. Personality and entrepreneurship are other areas, where I contribute. Prof. S. N. Upadhyay is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering & Technology, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India. He has made significant contributions to the institute as Professor for 50 years and also served as the institute’s Director for the academic year (2005-2010). He obtained his PhD (Chemical Engineering) degree from Banaras Hindu University in 1969. He has authored/co-authored over 180 technical papers published in reputed international journals and supervised more than 30 doctoral students in the field of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering. He is Fellow of National Academy of Sciences India, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Biotechnology Research Society, India and Institutions of Engineers India. He has received several awards and honors’ at National/ International levels. He has made significant contributions to the field of energy/engineering including bioenergy.
