ABSTRACT
This book covers environmental and economic waste treatment with resource recovery strategies covering mining, urban, agricultural, industrial, and sewage wastes. It includes waste management, life-cycle assessment, recycling, and recovering valuable materials from blast furnace slags, iron ore, coal, and bauxite mining. Wastewater recycling, reuse, treatment methods, and economic gain through nanotechnology are covered, along with biochemical study cycles in mining waste and tailing, landfill stabilization, energy, and nutrient recovery from household, urban, and hazardous waste.
Features:
- Includes details on the generation and composition of hazardous wastes.
- Focuses on practices in waste management followed in developing countries.
- Illustrates the concept of energy and resource recovery.
- Explains ethical, innovative management strategies dealing with solid, biomedical, and chemical wastes.
- Discusses sustainable nanotechnology and engineered materials for treatment of biological and chemical pollutants in wastewater.
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental engineering and management.
