Series: Advances in Environmental Research
BISAC: SCI026000

This book is about advances in environmental research. Chapter 1 discusses recent developments in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices for environmental applications. Chapter 2 discusses the characteristics of the recycling and upcycling methods of landfill, energy recovery, and chemical recovery, focusing on pyrolysis, gasification, catalytic depolymerization and hydrogenolysis. Chapter 3 delves into the revolutionary domain of hempcrete, an eco-friendly construction material poised to redefine the building landscape. Chapter 4 focuses on several types of agricultural waste recycling, including composting, anaerobic digestion, biohydrogen production, pollutant removal through adsorption, and other value-added utilisations. Chapter 5 reviews recent advances in water treatment using electrodialysis, focusing on strategies to meet the global demand for freshwater while improving the sustainability of desalination processes. Chapter 6 provides an overview of a case study on the hydrodynamic cavitation approach for the effluent from semiconductor industries. Finally, Chapter 7 focuses on forest cover change assessments in the Sangu River basin using sentinel-2 satellite data.
