Environmental Materials and Waste
Academic Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-12-803837-6 (ISBN)
These raw materials cannot, or can only partially, be substituted by renewable resources within the next few decades. As such, the efficient recovery and processing of mineral and energy resources, as well as recycling such resources, is now of significant importance.
The book takes a multidisciplinary approach to fully realize the number of by-products which can be remanufactured, providing the foundation needed across disciplines to tackle this issue. As awareness and opportunities to recover valuable resources from process and bleed streams is gaining interest, sustainable recovery of environmental materials, including wastewater, offers tremendous opportunity to combine profitable and sustainable production.
Dr. Prasad is Emeritus Professor, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad (India). He has made outstanding contributions to the fields of bioremediation, bioresources, biomass energy sources, bioeconomy, and to the broad field of environmental biotechnology, all of which are his main areas of expertise. Dr. Prasad has served the Government of India’s Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change as a member of various advisory committees on biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, pollution control and abatement, environmental information systems and bioremediation of contaminated sites. He is an active visiting scientist for several international universities. Kaimin Shih is currently serving as an Executive Editor (Co-Editor-in-Chief) in Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (Elsevier), and Associate Editors in Waste Management (Elsevier), Sustainable Environment Research (Springer), and Cleaner Materials (Elsevier). Former Editor in The HKIE Transactions and Associate Editor in American Mineralogist (Mineralogical Society of America). He is currently leading an “Environmental Materials research group working on metal oxides surface reactions, organic pollutant degradation, novel membrane and catalysts for air/wastewater treatments, fate and transport of emerging pollutants, water and resource recoveries, and metal oxide structural designs for environmental and energy applications.
