Exponential growth of the worldwide population requires increasing
amounts of water, food, and energy. However, as the quantity of
available fresh water and energy sources directly affecting cost of
food production and transportation diminishes, technological
solutions are necessary to secure sustainable supplies. In direct
response to this reality, this book focuses on the
water-energy-food nexus and describes in depth the challenges and
processes involved in efficient water and energy production and
management, wastewater treatment, and impact upon food and
essential commodities. The book is organized into 4 sections on
water, food, energy, and the future of sustainability, highlighting
the interplay among these topics. The first section emphasizes
water desalination, water management, and wastewater treatment. The
second section discusses cereal processing, sustainable food
security, bioenergy in food production, water and energy
consumption in food processing, and mathematical modeling for food
undergoing phase changes. The third section discusses fossil fuels,
biofuels, synthetic fuels, renewable energy, and carbon capture.
Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of the future of
sustainability, including coverage of the role of molecular
thermodynamics in developing processes and products, green
engineering in process systems, petrochemical water splitting,
petrochemical approaches to solar hydrogen generation, design and
operation strategy of energy-efficient processes, and the
sustainability of process, supply chain, and enterprise.
