Treatment and Utilization of Combustion and Incineration Residues introduces state-of-art strategies for combustion and incineration solid residue management and utilization. The book also reviews current technologies for pollutant removal and control of combustion and incineration residues. Recycling ashes and slags in sustainable construction materials are also evaluated on environmental impacts and engineering values, and the use of different ashes and slags in cement clinker production is classified based on the sources and properties of the residues. In addition, the recovery of valuable metals and inorganic elements is also discussed.Finally, the book examines the latest understanding of reaction mechanisms of various treatment technologies, the future design of treatment technologies, and the actualization of sustainable management for combustion/incineration residues.

Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass Feedstock and Solid Waste into Biofuels: Production and Pollutant Control offers a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in biofuel production with a special focus on pollutants control, which is both necessary and beneficial for the target audience and the development of this research field. Biofuel is currently a major trend due to the existing environmental crises and global energy challenges. Developing sustainable biofuels from biomass feedstock and solid waste, along with minimizing the formation of pollutants during the conversion processes are currently of significant academic and industrial importance, drawing widespread attention. Novel processes, reactions, and catalysts are being rapidly developed, and compiling this information is invaluable for keeping the audience informed and up-to-date. In addition, while research on the formation and transformation of pollutants such as heavy metals, chlorine, nitrogen, and sulfur species are often conducted by environmental scientists and engineers, it is less familiar to bioenergy researchers. This book aims to bridge the gap between relevant disciplines and presents a comprehensive overview of the entire research field.Provides a state-of-the-art overview of thermochemical conversion processes, catalytic upgrading reactions, and catalysts related to biofuel production from biomass feedstock and solid wasteEvaluates the latest processes, reactions, and catalysts related to thermochemical conversion of emerging solid waste, such as plastic wasteIntroduces the formation and control mechanisms of organic pollutants during the conversion and upgrading processes, from the perspective of environmental scientists and engineers
