Bøger af Manish Srivastava

The book discusses the various sustainable approaches to combine agrowaste and nanomaterials into catalysts or nanocatalysts with the objective of enhancing biofuel production. It explores the practical sustainability of agronanocatalysts in bioenergy production at a mass scale, while also addressing the existing challenges and proposes sustainable remedies to overcome these limitations. Additionally, the book dives into the cost considerations, recognizing it as a major concern for the widespread utility of catalysts, and explores viable commercial applications in this context.Nanomaterials continue to attract attention in the field of proteins and enzymes due to their versatile physicochemical properties and potential. They offer opportunities to enhance various biofuel production processes by serving as catalysts in the reaction medium. For instance, studies have highlighted the significant improvements in cellulase enzyme production, stability, pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, and enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency achieved through the utilization of nanomaterials. The impact of nanomaterials on fermentative hydrogen production has also been documented. While the application of nanomaterials in biofuel production processes has been reported in the literature, there remains a need to focus on the type of nanomaterials, their synthesis, and their specific effects on important process parameters. Addressing and evaluating these factors is crucial to effectively improve and streamline biofuel production processes using nanomaterials. The book serves as a comprehensive introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology in biofuel production, catering to the needs of researchers, academicians and students.

This edited book presents nanotechnology-based approaches to improve quality of biofuels production. It covers the use of different nanomaterials in various biofuels production methods and their sustainable utility analysis to improve production of biofuels at economical and mass scale. Environmentally friendly, low cost, and synthesis via green and renewable resources are the main key features covered by this book. Advantages and sustainability scope of green and renewable material to synthesize nanomaterial and reduction in synthesis cost over to chemical synthesis cost have been discussed in this book. The book also explores various green synthesis possibilities to synthesize nanomaterials that are frequently involved in biofuels production process as catalysts. Various feasible mechanisms have also been explained. Maximum and sustainable use of green nanomaterials at every step of biofuels production is also one of the major focuses of this book. It covers mega audiences, which include academician, researchers, and industries people. This book will be highly interesting for researchers and scientists as well as related industries.

This volume is second part of the five-part set on bioenergy research. This book provides new insight about the latest development in bioenergy research. It presents the various bioenergy options which are further explored for practical viability, their progress and utility in the industry. The main objective of the book is to provide insights into the opportunities and required actions for the development of an economically viable bioenergy industry for practical replacement of fossil fuels. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of environmental sciences. National and international bioenergy scientists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read. Other four volumes of this set explore basic concepts, commercial opportunities, waste to energy and integrated solution for bioenergy concerns.

Trading Amour for a Flower is a bold poetic inquiry into deeper longings and struggles of a 21st-century man. It offers a pathway for both men and women to transform systemic oppression by discovering the true purpose and power of our inner masculinity. Blending poetry and inner-reflections, Manish Srivastava, invites us on a three-part inner journey. Each part explores a threshold that we need to cross to rise beyond gender stereotypes, heal old wounds and reclaim the power to co-create a world that honours each individual.ReviewsAs we move from men versus women to man and woman as archetypes contained within us all, journeys such as Manish's can provide guidance in a time of uncertainty and strife.-- Peter Senge, MIT USA, Author of bestselling classic The Fifth DisciplineThis heartfelt book offers an invitation to reflect deeply on the fullness of being human by integrating our masculine and feminine. Manish's words of tenderness and bravery inspire compassionate strength-- so needed in our world today.-- Acharya Arawana Hayashi, Shambhala Buddhist Teacher, and Co-founder of Social Presencing Theatre I am blown away by the anguish and love in Manish's poetry. I find it both haunting and liberating to examine patriarchy as a pathway to healing. His exploration of the male psyche is a heart-opening experience. He takes a deep dive into his own pain, and each discovery moves him and his readers into wholeness and resilience. -- Martha Lasley, Author of Coaching For Transformation and Courageous Visions I see Manish Srivastava standing in the legacy of the mythopoetic men's movement and firmly rooted in India and its culture. It is the need of these times that this book goes totally viral!-- Abhishek Thakore, International Youth Activist and Co-founder of Gender Lab and Blue Ribbon Movement I am convinced that both men and women of today will benefit from his heartfelt realisations of painstaking self-exploration that is rendered so well in a poetic language. -- Manisha Roy, PhD Analytical Psychologist, USA and author of Bengali Women and Women, Stereotypes and Archetypes
