Hazardous, Industrial, and Biological Waste Management: Technologies, Treatments, and Sustainable Solutions provides a comprehensive overview of the treatment and sustainable management of hazardous, industrial, electronic, and biological wastes, addressing one of the most pressing environmental and public health challenges of our time. With chapters authored by leading experts, it covers the entire spectrum of waste streams- from hazardous materials and healthcare waste to e-waste and sewage sludge, offering practical and research-based insights into prevention, treatment, and resource recovery. The book explores innovative approaches such as detoxification and pretreatment methods, recycling and reuse pathways, advanced thermal processes, secure landfill strategies, and cutting-edge biological conversions. Special focus is given to emerging technologies, including thermodynamics of CO2 bioelectroconversion and the circular economy implications of e-waste recycling.
Key Features
- Integrates hazardous, industrial, e-waste, and sewage sludge management under one framework
- Explores advanced thermal, chemical, and biological conversion pathways, including cutting-edge CO2 bioelectroconversion
- Features case studies and practical models that link theory with implementable waste management practices
