In collaboration with the 9th International Conference on Biotechniques for Air Pollution Control and Biorefinery, 'Frontiers in Environmental Engineering' is pleased to present a new Research Topic presenting key highlights and insights from and related to this event.
This collection aims to present an overview of recent innovations in the field of biotechniques from experts across both academia and industry. Gathering cutting-edge research based on the work presented from participants at the event, with a particular focus on air pollution control and biorefinery, this collection welcomes original research and review papers in the following areas:
• Biodegradation and Valorization of Volatile Compounds and Air Pollutants: Addressing the breakdown and beneficial use of organic and inorganic pollutants, odorous compounds, and nitrogen and sulfur compounds.
• Bioconversion and Valorization of Waste Gases and Greenhouse Gases: Transforming gases such as methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO) into valuable products.
• Syngas Fermentation: Exploring the biotechnological applications of syngas (a mixture of CO, CO₂, and H₂) for the production of biofuels and chemicals.
• Biogas Upgrading and Biodesulfurization: Improving the quality of biogas through purification processes and removing sulfur compounds.
• Microbiology of Biocatalysts: Studying aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi, and algae for their roles in biotechnological processes.
• Bioprocess Engineering: Optimizing and developing bioreactors for waste gas treatment, including suspended growth bioreactors, biotrickling filters, bioscrubbers, fluidized bed bioreactors, and membrane bioreactors.
• Microbiological Aspects of Waste Gas Treatment: Investigating the physiology, metabolism, and microbial populations in bioreactors, as well as the application of novel microbiological approaches.
• Integration of Non-Biological Processes: Combining biological and non-biological methods to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of biotechnological applications.
Keywords:
Biotechniques, Air Pollution Control, Biorefinery, Biodegradation, Bioconversion, Biogas, Waste Gas Treatment
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
