Advanced Technology for the Conversion of Waste into Fuels and
Chemicals: Volume 1: Biological Processes presents advanced and
combined techniques that can be used to convert waste to energy,
including combustion, gasification, paralysis, anaerobic digestion
and fermentation. The book focuses on solid waste conversion to
fuel and energy and presents the latest advances in the design,
manufacture, and application of conversion technologies.
Contributors from the fields of physics, chemistry, metallurgy,
engineering and manufacturing present a truly trans-disciplinary
picture of the field. Chapters cover important aspects surrounding
the conversion of solid waste into fuel and chemicals, describing
how valuable energy can be recouped from various waste materials.
As huge volumes of solid waste are produced globally while huge
amounts of energy are produced from fossil fuels, the technologies
described in this comprehensive book provide the information
necessary to pursue clean, sustainable power from waste material.
Advanced Technology for the Conversion of Waste into Fuels and
Chemicals: Volume 2: Chemical Processes is the second of two
volumes by the editors (the first volume is Advanced Technology for
the Conversion of Waste into Fuels and Chemicals: Biological
Processes). This volume presents advanced techniques and combined
techniques used to convert energy to waste, including combustion,
gasification, paralysis, anaerobic digestion and fermentation. The
title focuses on solid waste conversion to fuel and energy,
presenting advances in the design, manufacture and application of
conversion technologies. Contributors from physics, chemistry,
metallurgy, engineering and manufacturing present a truly
trans-disciplinary picture of waste to energy conversion. Huge
volumes of solid waste are produced globally while, at the same
time, huge amounts of energy are produced from fossil fuels. Waste
to energy (WTE) technologies are developing rapidly, holding out
the potential to make clean, sustainable power from waste material.
These WTE procedures incorporate various methods and blended
approaches, and present an enormous opportunity for clean,
sustainable energy.
Nowadays considerable research has been carried out on a new type
of surfactants called as gemini surfactants, using variety of
experimental methods. By far the most studied of gemini surfactants
are cationic gemini, m-s-m (N, N -bis(alkyldimethyl)-,
-alkanediammonium dibromide type) type surfactant. In particular,
the choice of cationic gemini surfactants was made in an effort
because of the low toxicity of quaternary ammonium surfactants as
well as low critical micelle concentration. In addition to low
toxicity, quaternary ammonium surfactants exhibit broad spectrum of
antimicrobial activity including antibacterial, antifungal and
antiviral. Gemini surfactants may be an appropriate alternative to
traditional quaternary ammonium compounds. The geminis used in the
present studies, though extensively studied, still lack a
quantitative interpretation of their mixed micellar behaviour with
the conventional surfactants. Therefore, a thorough investigation
and relative comparison among the mixed micellar properties with
the conventional surfactants would allow their appropriate
applications to achieve both fundamental as well as applied goals.
