Advanced Waste Valorization for Circular Economy: Chemical Process Design and Simulation is an essential guide for chemical process design, simulation, optimization, and sustainability assessment within waste volarization. The book covers chemical process design, simulation, optimization, sustainability assessment, decision-making processes, Industry 4.0 technology applications, and circular supply chain design. Additionally, it delves into advanced waste valorization technologies for various waste types, including industrial, municipal, medical, plastic, agricultural, and food waste. Users will find up-to-date resources for industry professionals, researchers, academics, and students to understand circular process design and its real-life implementations.The book includes learning objectives, case studies, step-by-step methodologies and review exercises in each chapter to help students and researchers alike deepen and test their understanding of crucial aspects of sustainable waste valorization. This book is suitable for a very broad audience, including chemical engineering professionals such as professors, researchers, chemical engineers, and industry experts, particularly those engaged in process systems engineering, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent process control, advanced waste management, and renewable energy.Provides a comprehensive framework for advanced waste valorization technologies in the circular economy, reviewing common waste valorization technologies, principles, and basic working flow, methods, and algorithmsIncludes decision-making recommendations tailored to different situations case studies, section optimization, and directions for advanced waste valorization technologiesPresents learning objective sections and review exercises throughout the book to assist students and academics with testing their knowledge of novel conceptsCovers step-by-step methodologies and frameworks for the process analysis and evaluation of waste valorization technologies, covering feasibility analysis, techno-economic analysis, energy and material flow analysis, carbon footprint analysis, and environmental impact assessments

We are living in a world in which the visible and invisible borders between nations are being shaken at an unprecedented pace. We are experiencing a wave of international migration, and the diversity of migrants – in terms of how they identify, their external and self-image, and their participation in society – is increasingly noticeable. After the introduction of the Reform and Opening Up policy, over 10 million migrants left China, with Europe the main destination for Chinese emigration after 1978. This volume provides multidisciplinary answers to open questions: How and to what extent do Chinese immigrants participate in their host societies? What kind of impact is the increasing number of highly qualified immigrants from China having on the development and perception of overseas Chinese communities in Europe? How is the development of Chinese identity transforming in relation to generational change? By focusing on two key European countries, Germany and France, this volume makes a topical contribution to research on (new) Chinese immigrants in Europe.
