Resource Recovery from Biomedical and Hazardous Industrial Waste: Challenges and Opportunities examines the complexities in managing biomedical and hazardous industrial waste, focusing on innovative resource recovery techniques. This book addresses the challenges of global waste management systems and presents practical solutions, covering waste classification, collection, treatment technologies, and environmental impacts. This book will also emphasize emerging methodologies such as waste-to-energy, recycling, and the valorization of hazardous materials into valuable resources, promoting sustainable practices. With a thorough analysis of emerging trends, including the impact of COVID-19 on waste management, and a strong emphasis on innovative, sustainable practices, it provides valuable insights for advancing waste recovery solutions.Explores cutting-edge technologies for resource recovery, including bio-electrochemical systems and advanced heat recoveryHighlights innovative methods for optimizing resource recovery and advancing sustainable waste management practicesInvestigates the evolving landscape of waste management, including how global crises influence policies, practices, and system upgrades

Material and Energy Recovery from Solid Waste for a Circular Economy describes solid waste to material and energy recovery to bridge the gap between theoretical possibilities and on-field criticalities. It deals with various resource recovery possibilities from numerous waste streams such as municipal solid, hazardous waste, human faecal sludge, construction and demolition waste, and electronic waste. The practical issues of resource recovery and possible remedies derived through onsite practice and experience are incorporated. It includes real-life feasibility analysis and implementation of waste-to-energy systems supported by case studies.Features:Provides comprehensive discussion on both energy and material recoveryAddresses the missing linkage between the techno-commercial feasibility of existing systems and environmental impactDiscusses techno-commercial feasibility and environmental impactsOffers balance between theoretical knowledge sharing and practical execution-related issuesIncludes case study, LCA, and technical feasibility chaptersThis book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental, civil, and chemical engineering.
