Handbook of Biomass Valorization for Industrial Applications

Shahid Ul Islam, PhD is a lecturer and researcher at the Department of Chemistry, Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), J&K India. Before joining IUST in 2021, he worked at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi as a research scientist. His research is focused on polymers and composites, functional finishes, natural products, green technologies, and valorization of biomass into useful products. He is the editor of several books published with the Wiley-Scrivener imprint. Aabid Hussain Shalla, PhD is an associate professor and as I/C Head Department of Chemistry at Islamic University of Science and Technology, J&K India. His research interests include synthesis of hybrid ion exchange materials/ion-selective electrodes/synthesis of smart responsive hydrogels to envisage their application in the removal and identification of toxic heavy metal ions, dyes, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in wastewaters. He has more than 30 publications, a few books, and book chapters to his name. Salman Ahmad Khan, PhD joined the Department of Chemistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2009 and recently joined the School of Sciences, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) as a professor. His research areas include organic synthesis, analytical chemistry, and nanotechnology. He has published more than 100 research articles in various international journals.
