Advanced and Emerging Technologies for Resource Recovery from Wastes

This book introduces advanced or emerging technologies for conversion of wastes into a variety of high-value chemicals and materials. Energy and resources can be recovered from various residential industrial and commercial wastes such as municipal wastewater and sludge e-waste waste plastics and resins crop residues forestry residues and lignin. Advanced waste-to-resource and energy technologies like pyrolysis hydrothermal liquefaction fractionation de-polymerization gasification and carbonization are also introduced. The book serves as an essential guide to dealing with various types of wastes and the methods of disposal recovery recycling and re-use.  As such it is a valuable resource for a wide readership including graduate students academic researchers industrial researchers and practitioners in chemical engineering waste management waste to energy and resources conversion and biorefinery.
