Preface

Sustainable Chemical and Bioprocess Technology is a field having numerous applications in the production of chemicals, fuels, materials, pharmaceuticals, and medicines at the genetic level. The field’s novelty is in dealing with various topics of environmental engineering, chemical and bioprocesses, separation processes, advanced materials. The objective is to identify specific cases or environmental manipulations that result in improvements in yield and productivities of chemical and biotechnological processes. To address cutting-edge topics in the key areas of chemical and bioprocess en
