Biomethane Production from Vegetable and Water Hyacinth Waste explores the production of biomethane from vegetable waste and water hyacinth via anaerobic fermentation, focusing on effect factors, control methods and optimization. The book introduces principles and key technologies before proceeding into a deeper exploration of the fundamentals of municipal vegetable waste, such as composition, main indicators, experiment devices, and pretreatment. Processes to produce volatile fatty acids and resource recovery from anaerobic fermentation liquid and residue are described in detail. Other topics covered include the utilization of fermentation products, engineering design of a reaction tank, process parameters, and environmental and economic aspects. The practical, application-oriented approach of this book allows engineering researchers, PhD students, and industry practitioners in the field of biogas and biomethane production, biomass conversion, and waste management to immediately utilize the information it provides.

Tracing the development and formation of Chinese Buddhism, Wei Ran details the founding of Buddhism, its spread from India to other countries in Asia, and the origin of the monastery. Using this history as a foundation, Buddhist Buildings explores the architecture associated with Buddhism, most notably the monastery and the pagoda. Supplemented by gorgeous photographs, illustrations, and interior plans, the author crafts a journey exploring the most notable Buddhist architecture of ancient China. This volume gives great insight into how Chinese Buddhist buildings developed historically, and how a unique Chinese culture came into being. The structural evolution of the monastery, the transformation and evolution of the pagoda, the building of stone cave monasteries, and the development of lamaseries (Tibetan Buddhist monasteries) are all detailed, giving the reader an all-encompassing vision of the architecture of Buddhism. The natural settings of many monasteries are emphasized, as many were located far from urban sites, in lush valleys, or on the slopes and peaks of mountains. In 146 color photographs, 50 illustrations and figures, 2 charts, and 2 maps, Buddhist Buildings shows breathtaking monasteries and temples, schematics of monastery layouts, and design illustrations of pagodas. These visual elements offer the reader a thorough presentation of Chinese Buddhist architecture and supplement the author's detailed descriptions of the Buddhist buildings. The dignified beauty of Buddhist architecture represents a fascinating and significant portion of ancient Chinese architecture, and this volume illuminates Buddhist architecture's importance in ancient China and in Chinese culture today.
