Overview

Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Third Edition, continues to outline the principles of biochemical processes and explain their use in the manufacturing of everyday products. The author uses a direct approach that proved to be very useful for graduate students and fellow research scientists in following the concepts of biochemical engineering and practical applications related to the field of biotechnology. This book is unique in having many solved problems, case studies, examples, and demonstrations of detailed experiments, with simple design equations and required calculations. All chapters are fully revised and updated and include the latest research results in the field of biochemical engineering and biotechnology. The new edition emphasizes practical aspects, microorganisms, and upgrades of new types of membrane bioreactors, and it contains more case studies and solved problems, along with seven new chapters on recent topics in biosensors, bioanode, nanoscience, hydrogel, conceptual investigations on biological processes for industrial wastewater treatment, and algal growth. Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Third Edition, remains an indispensable reference for researchers in bioprocess engineering, chemical and physical biological treatment of industrial wastewater, enzyme technology, fermentation processes, nanoparticle synthesis for antibiotic loading, medicine, and drug delivery.
