Quick ViewRational use of natural resources has gained importance in the last several years. Solving this actual problem in terms of national economy suggests developing non-waste technologies based on the complex use of raw materials. Such an approach simultaneously solves the problem of waste accumulation and avoids ecological damage. The term “industrial waste” itself becomes conditional…
-
Quick ViewAn increased demand for recycling has prompted the food industry to become more efficient in its handling of waste. Food waste is among the priority streams for waste prevention worldwide, as it is generated at large quantities at all levels of the food production and consumption chain, in both developed and developing countries, throughout the…

Quick ViewUnder the Superfund program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) places some of the most seriously contaminated sites on the National Priorities List (NPL). At the end of fiscal year 2013, nonfederal sites made up about 90 percent of these sites. At these sites, EPA undertakes remedial action projects to permanently and significantly reduce contamination. Remedial…

Quick ViewConventional wastewater treatment processes are expensive and require complex operations and maintenance. They also generate large volumes of secondary waste that must be appropriately disposed. This book discusses management options, assessment and environmental issues of industrial waste. Chapter One focuses on a new method to treat wastewater containing acrylic acid in petrochemical industries. Chapter Two…
-
Quick ViewE-waste management has become the top global issue in terms of environmental protection and resource recycling. Although many attempts have been carried out to address the issue, many problems remain. This book contains seven chapters that not only review the history of e-waste management and summarize the achievement of technology and regulation, but also present…

Quick ViewCurrently, the management of solid waste represents a major economic and environmental issue throughout the world. Trends in waste generation show an increase in the volumes of waste produced in most countries and it is clear that the trend will continue. The treatment and disposal of solid waste involves a range of processes including landfill,…

Quick ViewSewage sludge is the product resulting from wastewater treatment plants and aquaculture systems. It is an abundant waste biomass, as its production keeps increasing due to population growth, particularly in developing countries and intensified wastewater treatment plants in the developed world due to industrialisation. Effective management and handling of sewage sludge in an environmentally friendly…
-
Quick ViewThe accumulation of solid organic waste is thought to be reaching critical levels in almost all regions of the world. Organic waste needs to be managed in a sustainable way to avoid depletion of natural resources, minimize risk to human health, reduce environmental burdens and maintain an overall balance in the ecosystem. This book reviews…
-
Quick ViewSolid waste has grown into a relatively difficult problem to solve for those responsible for its management; these responsibilities include the collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of solid wastes, particularly wastes generated in medium and large urban centers. This problem is even more intense in economically developing countries, where the financial, human, and other critical…

Quick ViewMedical exposure to ionizing radiation remains by far the largest contributor to the radiation dose from manmade sources of radiation. Strategies for dose and risk management, with a focus on the minimization of the stochastic effect and prevention of tissue reactions are presented in Chapter One. A critical review about solid radioactive wastes in Nuclear…
-
Quick ViewThe notion of a lifestyle system leading to zero waste is obviously appealing, and a strategy of total reuse and recycling of: “waste material” is often advocated. However, there is a growing realization that the recycling process itself produces waste, and the environmental and economic cost of recycling and reusing certain materials invalidates the “zero…
-
Quick ViewOver the last couple of decades, rapid urbanization, unplanned industrialization, and a rising population jointly created several issues worldwide, particularly in developing and underdeveloped countries. One such issue that requires urgent attention is the ever-increasing waste problem which has become an exasperation for regional and local governments and an issue of both national and international…

Quick ViewWaste-to-Energy is one of the key technologies for sustainable waste management. The book by Laura Mastellone offers a comprehensive overview of the various processes for thermal waste treatment such as incineration, pyrolysis, and gasification. It is instrumental for understanding objectives, functioning, residues, and environmental impacts of thermal processes. “Waste Management and Clean Energy Production from…
-
Quick ViewThe growing quantities of waste sludge generated in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants containing various organics and other contaminants require novel treatment technologies that are capable of achieving significant removal efficiencies and producing reusable sludge products. As a response, a large variety of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been investigated to remove the present…
-
Quick ViewIn this collection, the authors open with a review of current state of the art methods for the recovery and reuse of selected monomers and biomacromolecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids) from municipal solid waste. They discuss the most relevant recoverable chemical building blocks and biomacromolecules, as well as their potential applications. Following this,…
