Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Biological Waste Management and Bio Fuels Production
Keywords:
Waste management, Biological waste;, Climate change, Artificial intelligenceAbstract
A dynamic aspect of environmental sustainability is the biological waste management, in which handling of biological waste and appropriate disposal is essential formed from diverse sources. The waste that comes from biological processes is the biological waste together with wastes from animals, plants, household, municipal solid waste and hospitals waste. Collection of waste from waste producing sources, processing, transport, recycling or disposal is the biological waste management. Industrialization, urbanization, altering the living styles and patterns of consumption of the community worldwide has caused in increased production of biological waste. Soil health and biodiversity are affecting by the production of biological waste, in case of industrial liquid waste discharge into the fields it affects crop productivity. It also affects human health and contributes to climate change and global warming. Here in this article, in biofuels production and biological waste management the role of artificial intelligence (AI) is examined using neural network (ANN), smart bin system, sensor-built monitoring of waste and waste sorting robots etc. Furthermore, bioenergy technologies are studied to chemically or thermally convert the waste into bioenergy products.
