Excellent- More about The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates: Kinetics, Bioengineering, and Industrial Aspects
The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) focuses on thermodynamic and mathematical considerations of PHA biosynthesis, bioreactor design, downstream processing, and economics. It covers microbial mixed culture processes, industrial-scale production, and techno-economic and sustainability considerations. It is aimed at professionals and graduate students in the polymer industry, wastewater treatment plants, food industry, biodiesel industry, and environmental science.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
This second volume of the Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA): Kinetics, Bioengineering, and Industrial Aspects delves into comprehensive thermodynamic and mathematical considerations of PHA biosynthesis, encompassing bioengineering aspects related to bioreactor design and downstream processing for PHA recovery from microbial biomass. It explores diverse microbial mixed culture processes and features a robust industry-focused section, covering chapters on the economics of PHA production, industrial-scale PHA production from sucrose, next-generation industrial biotechnology approaches for PHA production based on novel robust production strains, and holistic techno-economic and sustainability considerations on PHA manufacturing. Targeted at professionals and graduate students in the polymer (plastic) industry, wastewater treatment plants, food industry, biodiesel industry, this book offers invaluable insights into microbial thermodynamics, unveiling the fundamental domain governing PHA formation, both aerobically and anaerobically. It provides a systematic overview of mathematical modelling approaches, ranging from low-structured and formal kinetic models to modern tools such as metabolic models, cybernetic models, and more.
The book delves into the challenges encountered during the scale-up of PHA production processes and explores the development of non-sterile processes and contamination-resistant strains. It presents a holistic perspective of the current state of PHA research by mixed cultures. Additionally, it reviews the industry-related viewpoint about current and future trends in PHA production and processing, making it a valuable resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers alike.
