Pollution Control and Resource Recovery: Municipal Solid Wastes
Incineration: Bottom Ash and Fly Ash explains the tools and
technologies needed to characterize, stabilize, treat, recycle, or
properly dispose bottom and fly ash. The public concern for the
environmental impact of MSW incineration has increased
significantly over the last 20 years, forcing manufacturers to
develop, and plants to install and operate, high-cost advanced
technology for pollution control. This book explores the latest
information on this important topic.
This book provides a comprehensive description of alkaline
hydrometallurgy of amphoteric metal hazardous wastes. Topics focus
on leaching of zinc and lead hazardous wastes, purification of
leach solution of zinc and lead, electrowinning of zinc and lead
from purified alkaline solutions, chemical reactions taking place
in the production flowsheets, thermodynamic and spent electrolyte
regeneration, alkaline hydrometallurgy of low-grade smithsonite
ores, recovery of molybdenum and tungsten using ion flotation and
solvent extraction processes and their application in chemical
synthesis of Nb and Ta inorganic compounds, and industrial scale
production of 1500-2000 t/a zinc powder using alkaline
leaching-electrowinning processes. Processes described are
cost-effective, generate lesser secondary pollutants, and have been
applied widely in China. Readers that will find the book appealing
include solid waste engineers, environmental managers, technicians,
recycling coordinators, government officials, undergraduates and
graduate students, and researchers.

Resource Recovery Technology for Municipal and Rural Solid Waste:
Classification, Mechanical Separation, Recycling, and Transfer
describes the practical considerations in recycling solid
waste-from source characterization to recycling of end product-with
the aim of maximizing pollution control and resource recovery.
Topics covered include source classification models, solid waste
treatment and resource recovery, integrated mechanical separation
and parameter optimization, and the collection and transfer of
classified domestic solid waste. The book details pollution control
and resource recovery in every stage of municipal and rural solid
waste management for solid waste engineers, environmental
scientists, and academics and students in waste management. The
book goes into significant detail on each stage of the process,
including separation technologies according to the difference of
particle size, material density difference, the difference in
optical, electrical and magnetic effects of materials, preparation
of plastic composites, and production of composite boards with
organic waste from domestic solid waste. The book also includes a
thorough case study of success in solid waste management using
these techniques as an example of the application of these
technologies.
Biomethane Production from Vegetable and Water Hyacinth Waste
explores the production of biomethane from vegetable waste and
water hyacinth via anaerobic fermentation, focusing on effect
factors, control methods and optimization. The book introduces
principles and key technologies before proceeding into a deeper
exploration of the fundamentals of municipal vegetable waste, such
as composition, main indicators, experiment devices, and
pretreatment. Processes to produce volatile fatty acids and
resource recovery from anaerobic fermentation liquid and residue
are described in detail. Other topics covered include the
utilization of fermentation products, engineering design of a
reaction tank, process parameters, and environmental and economic
aspects. The practical, application-oriented approach of this book
allows engineering researchers, PhD students, and industry
practitioners in the field of biogas and biomethane production,
biomass conversion, and waste management to immediately utilize the
information it provides.
Biohydrogen Production and Hybrid Process Development: Energy and
Resource Recovery from Food Waste explores the production of
biohydrogen from food waste via anaerobic fermentation, focusing on
effect factors, control methods and optimization. The book
introduces food waste treatment and disposal technologies,
including operational principles and process control. The authors
discuss the use of aged refuse, the effect of several key factors
on anaerobic gas production rate, process parameters optimization
for enhancing biohydrogen yield, key factors in biohydrogen
production from sewage sludge fermentation, and new developments in
nutrition recovery from food waste. This book spans the entire
production cycle, from waste recovery to its conversion processes,
end-product, and by-product utilization, providing engineering
researchers, PhD students, and industry practitioners in the field
of biohydrogen production, biogas production, biomass conversion,
and food waste management with a thorough background on the
production of hydrogen via anaerobic fermentation.
Pollution Control and Resource Recovery: Sewage Sludge discusses
several traditional and new environmentally friendly technologies
for sewage sludge treatment and disposal. In addition, the book
covers a range of new initiatives that are underway to promote and
accelerate the development of related sciences and techniques. The
book's authors builds a framework for developing various
sustainable technologies for sewage sludge treatment and disposal,
including advanced dewatering through chemical conditioning,
solidification/stabilization, reuse for the development of
construction and building materials, anaerobic bioenergy recovery,
sanitary landfill, and odor control.
Pollution Control and Resource Recovery: Municipal Solid Wastes at
Landfill provides pollution control and resource reuse technologies
that cover the research and development achievements gained in
recent years, providing the most up-to-date information on an
emerging field in solid waste management.
Pollution Control and Resource Recovery: Industrial Construction
and Demolition Wastes provides engineers with the techniques and
technologies to cope with the common pollutants that are persistent
in C&D waste. Dedicated to pollution control and resource reuse
of C&D wastes, this book fully describes sampling methods and
equipment, pre-treatment and analysis, and the generation and
pollution characteristics of hazardous C&D wastes. Migration
potential and patterns of pollutants during random stacking,
landfilling, and pollution controlling approaches are also
included. Other topics included in this reference include source
identification, classified separation and enrichment, site
monitoring and evaluation, heavy metal stabilization and
solidification, organic matter degradation, dust controlling, clean
and high value utilization of recycled aggregate, and reuse and
risk assessment.
Pollution Control Technology for Leachate from Municipal Solid
Waste explores the physical, chemical and biological factors that
produce leachate and technological solutions for its control. The
book introduces the integrated and pre-treatment leachate treatment
processes that are necessary to deal with the variations of
pollutants in leachate. Real world case-studies are provided to
illustrate these treatment processes, along with leachate treatment
engineering process design and the construction of municipal solid
waste incinerator power plants. This book will be of particular
interest to Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineers, but will
also be ideal for Environmental Scientists.
