Concern about the fate of waste products produced by a wide
range of industrial processes has led to the realization that they
may have potential uses and, therefore, value. In an effort to
develop more sustainable processes and reduce waste storage, the
use of waste as a resource has been gaining attention worldwide.
Consequently, there have been a large number of studies aimed at
utilizing such wastes. Conversion of Large Scale Wastes into
Value-added Products discusses various selected classes of
large-scale waste and their current applications and potential
future applications.
This book provides a snapshot of a continually evolving field,
which includes both well-established processes and a drive toward
developing strategies for new applications of wastes. The first
chapter provides a general introduction to the area of large-scale
waste utilization, including drivers for waste recovery, and
secondary processes and products for waste reuse. Subsequent
chapters discuss applications and potential applications in
specific classes of large-scale waste:
- Various types of waste generated from different metal
processing operations
- Waste generated by coal combustion, a major source of power
generation that produces enormous quantities of waste
- Waste electrical and electronic equipment, important for
recycling finite resources and reducing health and environmental
risks
- Food waste, a significant and diverse waste stream with
economic and environmental impacts
The final chapter presents a general conclusion to the broad
subject of waste utilization, summarizing the topics and addressing
future trends in waste research.
