BTBS852: Biotechnology of Solid Waste Biodegradation. This course introduces the biotechnology of solid waste biodegradation. Students will study the generation, management, and composition of solid waste, with emphasis on organic matter and the metabolic processes used by microorganisms to break it down. The course reviews aerobic and anaerobic systems, microbial communities, environmental parameters, bioreactor operations, and energy production from solid, liquid, and gaseous byproducts.

Learning Focus: Solid waste generation, organic matter composition, microbial biodegradation, aerobic and anaerobic systems, microbial communities, environmental parameters, bioreactor operations, and energy recovery.

Applications: Solid waste management, environmental biotechnology, biological treatment systems, waste conversion, sustainability programs, renewable energy recovery, and pollution reduction planning.

Key Focus Areas

  • Organic Matter Composition: Exploration of the types and characteristics of organic matter present in solid waste.
  • Metabolic Biodegradation: Study of the biochemical pathways and mechanisms through which organic matter is broken down.
  • Microbial Communities: Analysis of the diverse microbial populations that develop during biodegradation and their functional roles.
  • Environmental Parameters: Consideration of the environmental factors that influence the efficiency and outcomes of biodegradation processes.

The curriculum emphasizes both aerobic and anaerobic systems, highlighting their distinct processes and applications in solid waste treatment.

  • Bioreactor Operations: Examination of various bioreactor technologies used in the treatment and conversion of solid waste.
  • Energy Production: Discussion of methods for generating energy from the formation of solid, liquid, and gas byproducts during waste biodegradation.
