Metal Value Recovery from Industrial Waste Using Advanced Physicochemical Treatment Technologies focuses on the fundamental and advanced topics involved with the technologies for the extraction of metal ions from different industrial discarded volumes which may be sludge or wastewater. Uniqueness of the book lies in the fact that it covers each topic related to industrial wastes and elaborates on discussions on metal ion recovery to make the readers confident about the topics and concepts explained in the section.Moreover, this book examines high potential in different downstream processes like membrane filtration, hybrid techniques, chemical leaching, electrochemical techniques, and a variety of advanced recovery techniques. Emphasis is given to state-of-the-art concept, latest research, practical applications or commercialization through case studies, and comparative evaluation of the processes for metal ion recovery from industrial wastes.

Provides updated occurrence and characteristics of a variety of high valued metal ions different industrial wastesPresents a detailed account of advanced chemical leaching technologies for the recovery of those metal ionsCovers innovative approaches for the reutilization and management of industrial wastes in a very easily understandable way with visual elements so that the knowledge can reach out to all interested learnersDescribes specific metal recovery will contain the case-studies (wherever applicable) to describe the lab to pilot scale to the industrial scale implementation

Industrial wastewater is one of the biggest challenges for sustainability, as traditional treatment methods often fall short in dealing with today’s complex pollutants. Emerging Technologies in Industrial Waste Clarification: Pollutant Mitigation and Resource Recovery brings together new Physico-chemical and biological approaches that aim to make treatment more effective and sustainable. The book covers a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, textiles, petrochemicals, food, energy, metallurgy and e-waste. It highlights not just the types of wastes and their impact, but also the new solutions being developed such as microbial remediation, nanotechnology, advanced oxidation, membrane processes, and resource recovery techniques. Several chapters also show how case studies and pilot-scale work are moving these technologies from research to practice. In addition, the book considers global policies, regulatory frameworks, and the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, recycle), which are essential for large-scale adoption. Written for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry professionals, this book connects current research with practical applications and policy needs. It offers both technical insights and real-world relevance, helping readers understand how innovative waste treatment can support a circular economy and reduce environmental impact.Covers emerging and advanced industrial waste treatment technologiesUses real-world case studies for practical understandingFocuses on sustainability and resource recoveryEmphasizes circular economy principlesAddresses global regulatory frameworks and policies suitable for researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and studentsBridges science and practice for sustainable waste management

This book is a comprehensive guide to bioconversion approaches based on microorganisms and enzymes for the valorization of underused wastes of diverse categories to produce new products. Optimized conditions for microbial and enzymatic valorization are discussed, along with related biotechnological considerations, environmental considerations, bioprocess development, obstacles, and future outlooks. Biofuels, bioenergy, and other platform chemicals are only some of the products that can be produced through this book's explanation of the microbiological processes involved in the bioconversion and valorization of wastes.

Advanced Bioseparation of Industrial Wastes: Sustainable Recovery of High-Value Metal Ions examines resource recovery from a variety of industrial waste streams, including sludge and wastewater, with an emphasis on both the fundamentals and the more advanced concepts involved. Chemical leaching, waste treatment, and other processes for metal extraction are broken down into their component parts in great detail. Several important metals, such as lithium, copper, gold, platinum, nickel, zinc, chromium, uranium, cobalt, rhodium, and indium, could be salvaged from recyclables. This book presents the best practices for dealing with waste from industries such as those involved in the production of electronic goods, automobiles, batteries, as well as mining and electroplating. It provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the many forms of industrial waste, including their composition, recycling processes, and the potential for recovery of essential metals, from the ground up.Features:Provides updated occurrence and characteristics of a variety of high-value metal ions that can be recovered from different industrial wastes.Presents advanced chemical leaching technologies for those metal ions.Describes detailed accounts of physico-chemical-based reuse and recycle methodologies.Covers innovative approaches for the reutilization and management of industrial wastes.
