About this Research Topic
Organic solid waste, e.g., kitchen waste, excess sludge, biomass-waste, etc., has been regarded as a valuable resource due to the highly-enriched proportion of biodegradable organic matter. The Anaerobic Digestion (AD) process has gained particular attention during the last two decades because of its benefits in low energy demand, renewable energy production, and improvement in waste management. Various AD process strategies, e.g. multistage batch fermentation, coupling with bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), biochar, Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET), have been proposed to achieve high-efficiency bioconversion of waste to bioenergy/resources towards toxicity elimination and carbon neutrality. This Research Topic pursues concurrent high-value-added products/resource generation (e.g., biogas, bioelectricity, volatile fatty acids, bioplastic synthesis, etc.), and solid waste reduction towards contamination elimination and carbon emission minimization/carbon neutralization.
This Research Topic will shed light on enhancing organic solid waste treatment and management with high efficiency of recoverable resources/energy harvest and low (even zero)-carbon emission. This Research Topic explores various themes, including the understanding of the mechanism of anaerobic microbial interactions, bio-energy/resource harvest via bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), carbon neutrality-organic wastes treatment and management techniques, direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET), extracellular electron transport (EET) by redox mediates, biofuel bioconversion from organic waste, and other topics relevant to enhancing strategies for AD.
This Research Topic is devoted to presenting and discussing solid waste treatment, minimization, bioenergy/resource recovery, and disposal. The following are some of the major areas in which papers are solicited:
• Research advances on anaerobic digestion/fermentation
• Merits of Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) for solid waste treatment and the combined process
• Advanced methods for solid waste treatment toward toxicity elimination and carbon neutralization
• Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET) for enhancing anaerobic digestion
• Redox mediator applications upon stimulation of extracellular electron transport
Types of manuscripts welcomed include original research papers, review articles, and brief research reports.
