title = "MSW characterization and preprocessing for biofuels and bioproducts",
abstract = "The organic fraction of MSW (OFMSW) has a high carbohydrate and lipid content, indicating its good potential as a feedstock for bioethanol and biodiesel production. However, variability in feedstock composition for MSW is a critical challenge for downstream conversion processes such as pyrolysis, gasification, incineration, and biotechnological conversion. MSW characterization is critical to inform and optimize the design of physical handling processes to minimize costs and environmental impacts, and improve the downstream conversion performance of MSW materials. This book chapter focuses on current MSW characterization and preprocessing technologies and discusses the costs, benefits, and environmental impacts associated with MSW preprocessing. Also, the book chapter outlines the potential strategies to increase total revenue and mitigate negative environmental impacts for MSW recycling systems.",
