Sustainable and Economic Waste Management [electronic resource] : Resource Recovery Techniques.

Contributor(s): Strezov, Vladimir | Hossain, Anawar | AbhilashMaterial type: TextTextPublisher: Milton : CRC Press LLC, 2019Description: 1 online resource (329 p.)ISBN: 9781000761658; 1000761657; 9780429279072; 0429279078; 9781000761979; 1000761975Subject(s): NATURE / Environmental Conservation & Protection | SCIENCE / Chemistry / General | TECHNOLOGY / Environmental Engineering & Technology | Factory and trade waste -- Management | Refuse and refuse disposal | Salvage (Waste, etc.)DDC classification: 363.72/8 LOC classification: TD897.5Online resources: Taylor & Francis | OCLC metadata license agreement Summary: This book compiles research findings directly related to sustainable and economic waste management and resource recovery. Mining wastes and municipal, urban, domestic, industrial and agricultural wastes and effluents--which contain persistent organic contaminants, nanoparticle organic chemicals, nutrients, energy, organic materials, heavy metal, rare earth elements, iron, steel, bauxite, coal and other valuable materials--are significantly responsible for environmental contamination. These low-tenor raw materials, if recycled, can significantly address the demand-supply chain mismatch and process sustainability as a whole while simultaneously decreasing their impacts on human life and biodiversity. This book summarises the large volume of current research in the realm of waste management and resource recovery, which has led to innovation and commercialisation of sustainable and economic waste management for improved environmental safety and improved economics. Key Features: Reviews the key research findings related to sustainable and economic resource recovery and waste management techniques Discusses minimizing waste materials and environmental contaminants with a focus on recovering valuable resources from wastes Examines the potential uses of mining waste in the re-extraction of metals, provision of fuel for power plants, and as a supply of other valuable materials for utilisation/processing Presents research on recycling of municipal, urban, domestic, industrial and agricultural wastes and wastewater in the production and recovery of energy, biogas, fertilizers, organic materials and nutrients Outlines topical research interests resulting in patents and inventions for sustainable and economic waste management techniques and environmental safety
