Fundamentals and Applications of Waste Treatment and Valorization
About this book
Fundamentals and Applications of Waste Treatment and Valorization serves as a comprehensive guide to processing a wide array of waste materials, including biomass, wastewater, and plastics, and their potential transformation into renewable value-added and sustainable products. The book combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications to equip readers with innovative solutions and a roadmap for implementing sustainable waste management strategies. Each chapter delves into the principles of various waste treatment technologiesāsuch as anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and hydrothermal conversionāreinforced by real-world case studies.Covering a wide range of applications from plastics recycling and liquid fuel production to biogas generation and hydrogen production, this book is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and professionals in chemical and environmental engineering. Additionally, it evaluates the environmental impacts of these technologies, providing insights into sustainability and policy implications.
- Details various waste sources and material such as biomass, wastewater, and plastics, including targeting technologies and troubleshooting for each waste type
- Outlines new value-added products from waste treatment techniques, including suggestions for how to use these products
- Includes case studies across industries of real waste management practices and examples, including advice to avoid common pitfalls and economic considerations
- Evaluates various applications and techniques, including environmental impacts and policy implications to equip the reader with innovative solutions and a roadmap for implementing sustainable waste management strategies
