Publisher Description: Drawing on the wealth of information and expertise available in the Royal Society of Chemistry's Green Chemistry Book series, this set of books demonstrates a sustainable approach to some of the environmental and technical challenges facing the world today. Topics include water remediation, recovery of elements from electronic waste, and re-using food co-products. This set contains the following volumes:
Outlines the contribution of chemistry and renewable chemical or biological resources to the sustainability concept and potential resolution of the world's energy problems.
Element Recovery and Sustainability (ISBN 9781849736169) 270 pages, 2013 This book will be essential reading for researchers in academia and industry tackling sustainable element recovery, as well as postgraduate students in chemistry, engineering and biotechnology. Environmental scientists and policy makers will also benefit from reading about potential benefits of recovery from waste streams.
No longer considered simply as "waste", many food co-products are being identified as economically-viable raw materials and their potential is enhanced by modern processing technologies and the biorefinery concept.
This book guides the reader to identifying the local bioresources which could be valorized and chosen for the remediation of a pollution-related problem or a response to an energetic need.
Green and sustainable water remediation is a rapidly growing field of interest to governments and corporations alike, with considerable input from academics, environmental consultants and public interest groups. |
