Encompassing high priority research areas such as bioenergy
production, global warming mitigation, and sustainable agriculture,
biochar has received increased worldwide interest in the past
decade. Biochar: Production, Characterization, and Applications
covers the fundamentals of biochar including its concept,
production technology, and characterization. The book builds on
this foundation by providing examples of state-of-the-art biochar
application technology in agronomy and environmental sciences,
along with detailed case studies. Edited by a group of well-known
biochar experts and including chapters written by a group of
international experts in their field, this valuable resource can be
used both as a textbook for graduate courses or as a handbook for
policy makers and practitioners in the field.
The manufacture of plastic as well as its indiscriminate disposal
and destruction by incineration pollutes atmospheric, terrestrial,
and aquatic ecosystems. Synthetic plastics do not break down; they
accumulate in the environment as macro-, micro-, and nanoplastics.
These particulate plastics are a major source of pollutants in soil
and marine ecosystems. Particulate Plastics in Terrestrial and
Aquatic Environments provides a fundamental understanding of the
sources of these plastics and the threats they pose to the
environment. The book demonstrates the ecotoxicity of particulate
plastics using case studies and offers management practices to
mitigate particulate plastic contamination in the environment.
Features * Describes physical and chemical properties of
particulate plastics in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems *
Presents information on characteristics of particulate plastics as
impacted by weathering processes * Provides numerous approaches for
managing particulate plastic contamination * Identifies sources of
particulate plastics in the environment; distribution and
characteristics of particulate plastics; and management strategies
of particulate plastics Written by a global team of scientists,
this book is for researchers in the fields of environmental safety
and waste management or individuals interested in the impact of
particulate plastics on environmental health.

This book offers various soil and water treatment technologies due
to increasing global soil and water pollution. In many countries,
the management of contaminated land has matured, and it is
developing in many others. Topics covered include chemical and
ecological risk assessment of contaminated sites; phytomanagement
of contaminants; arsenic removal; selection and technology
diffusion; technologies and socio-environmental management;
post-remediation long-term management; soil and groundwater laws
and regulations; and trace element regulation limits in soil.
Future prospects of soil and groundwater remediation are critically
discussed in this book. Hence, readers will learn to understand the
future prospects of soil and groundwater contaminants and
remediation measures. Key Features: Discusses conventional and
novel aspects of soil and groundwater remediation technologies
Includes new monitoring/sensing technologies for soil and
groundwater pollution Features a case study of remediation of
contaminated sites in the old, industrial, Ruhr area in Germany
Highlights soil washing, soil flushing, and
stabilization/solidification Presents information on emerging
contaminants that exhibit new challenges This book is designed for
undergraduate and graduate courses and can be used as a handbook
for researchers, policy makers, and local governmental institutes.
Soil and Groundwater Remediation Technologies: A Practical Guide is
written by a team of leading global experts in the field.
Biochar in Agriculture for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals
introduces the state-of-the-art of biochar for agricultural
applications to actualize sustainable development goals and
highlight current challenges and the way forward. The book focuses
on scientific knowledge and biochar technologies for agricultural
soil improvement and plant growth. Sections provide
state-of-the-art knowledge on biochar production and
characterization, focus on biochar for agricultural application and
soil improvement, discuss the roles of biochar for environmental
improvement in farmland to relieve water and waste management as
well as climate change, highlight biochar used for boosting
bioeconomy and clean energy, and discuss future prospects. This
book will be important to agricultural engineers and researchers as
well as those seeking to improve overall soil and environmental
conditions through the use of biochar.
Biochar from Biomass and Waste: Fundamentals and Applications
provides the fundamentals of biochar, such as its basic concepts,
production technology and characterization methods, also including
comprehensive examples for readers. This book includes information
on state-of-art biochar application technologies in the fields of
agriculture, energy and environmental sciences with step-by-step
case studies. Biochar has received worldwide interests in the past
decade because it encompasses high priority research areas,
including bioenergy production, global warming mitigation and
sustainable agriculture.
