Produktbeschreibung

This book highlights the efforts made to realize the concept of 'Circular Bioeconomy'. It has twelve (12) chapters, focussed on five (5) sections, namely Biomaterials, Environment, Energy, Pharmaceutical and Enzyme Technology. It portrays research, linking 'Circular Bioeconomy' to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The concept of 'Circular Economy', including 'Circular Bioeconomy', aims to shift the current, essentially linear economic system to a more sustainable one. Accordingly, the key goal of a 'Circular Economy' is to slow, narrow and close material resource loops, built on the foundation of renewable energy and non-toxic materials. Further, a sustainable 'Bioeconomy' goes beyond simply switching fossil resources with renewable, biological resources. It requires low-carbon energy inputs, sustainable supply chains and promising disruptive conversion technologies for the sustainable transformation of renewable bioresources to high-value bio-based products, materials and fuels. Thus, a sustainable 'Circular Bioeconomy' transition will necessitate a set of consistent metrics that fit all products and industries.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Fazia Adyani Ahmad Fuad is Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering & Sustainability, Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Malaysia. She obtained her doctoral degree (Structural Biochemistry) at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. Her research interests include investigating the potential of specific enzymes that are involved in human metabolic pathways as targets for developing drugs against infectious diseases, such as dengue and malaria. Her main interests include a combination of in silico drug design and biochemical analyses on specific protein targets, which allows further understanding of various receptor-ligand interactions.   Dr. Faridah Yusof is currently Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering & Sustainability, Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia. Her main areas of research include biotransformation, bioprocess and bioseparation engineering, protein/peptides and enzyme research, purification technology, latex biochemistry and natural rubber/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites.   Dr. Amanatuzzakiah Abdul Halim is Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering & Sustainability, Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). She obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemical Engineering from the University College London. Her research interests are in the area of microalgae utilization on wastewater treatment, ozonated water application and molecularly imprinted polymer-based sensor.   Dr. Farah B. Ahmad is Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering & Sustainability, Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) (Malaysia). She obtained her Ph.D.  in Energy and Process Engineering from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) (Australia). Her current research focuses on bioprocessing; sustainable biofuel production and biorefineries, especially from lignocellulosic biomass; and biosensors including electrochemical and piezoelectric-based sensors.   Dr. Yusilawati Ahmad Nor is Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering & Sustainability, Faculty of Engineering, Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).
