Book Clean Energy and Resource Recovery

Download or read book Clean Energy and Resource Recovery written by Vinay Kumar Tyagi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clean Energy and Resource Recovery: Wastewater Treatment Plants as Bio-refineries, Volume 2, summarizes the fundamentals of various treatment modes applied to the recovery of energy and value-added products from wastewater treatment plants. The book addresses the production of biofuel, heat, and electricity, chemicals, feed, and other products from municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, and sludge. It intends to provide the readers an account of up-to-date information on the recovery of biofuels and other value-added products using conventional and advanced technological developments. The book starts with identifying the key problems of the sectors and then provides solutions to them with step-by-step guidance on the implementation of processes and procedures. Titles compiled in this book further explore related issues like the safe disposal of leftovers, from a local to global scale. Finally, the book sheds light on how wastewater treatment facilities reduce stress on energy systems, decrease air and water pollution, build resiliency, and drive local economic activity.As a compliment to Volume 1: Biomass Waste Based Biorefineries, Clean Energy and Resource Recovery, Volume 2: Wastewater Treatment Plants as Bio-refineries is a comprehensive reference on all aspects of energy and resource recovery from wastewater. The book is going to be a handy reference tool for energy researchers, environmental scientists, and civil, chemical, and municipal engineers interested in waste-to-energy. Offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamental treatments and methods used in the recovery of energy and value-added products from wastewater Identifies solutions to key problems related to wastewater to energy/resource recovery through conventional and advanced technologies and explore the alternatives Provides step-by-step guidance on procedures and calculations from practical field data Includes successful case studies from both developing and developed countries

Book Environmental and Health Impact of Solid Waste Management Activities

Download or read book Environmental and Health Impact of Solid Waste Management Activities written by R M Harrison and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste management issues are a highly emotive topic. Disposal costs need to be balanced against environmental impact, which often results in heated public debate. Disposal options such as incineration and landfill, whilst unpopular with both the public and environmental pressure groups, do not pose the same environmental and health risks as, for example, recycling plants. This book, written by international experts, discusses the various waste disposal options that are available (landfill, incineration, composting, recycling) and then reviews their impact on the environment, and particularly on human health. Comprehensive and highly topical, Environmental and Health Impact of Solid Waste Management Activities will make a strong contribution to scientific knowledge in the area, and will be of value to scientists and policy-makers in particular.

Book Environmental Materials and Waste

Download or read book Environmental Materials and Waste written by Majeti Narasimha Vara Prasad and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Materials and Waste: Resource Recovery and Pollution Prevention contains the latest information on environmental sustainability as a wide variety of natural resources are increasingly being exploited to meet the demands of a worldwide growing population and economy. These raw materials cannot, or can only partially, be substituted by renewable resources within the next few decades. As such, the efficient recovery and processing of mineral and energy resources, as well as recycling such resources, is now of significant importance. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach to fully realize the number of by-products which can be remanufactured, providing the foundation needed across disciplines to tackle this issue. As awareness and opportunities to recover valuable resources from process and bleed streams is gaining interest, sustainable recovery of environmental materials, including wastewater, offers tremendous opportunity to combine profitable and sustainable production. Presents a state-of-the-art guide to environmental sustainability Provides an overview of the field highlighting recent and emerging issues in environmental resource recovery that cover a wide array of by-products for remanufacture potential Details a multidisciplinary approach to fully realize the number of by-products which can be remanufactured, providing the foundation needed across disciplines to tackle these global issues

Book Environmental Impacts of Overdsign in Small Community Water Resource Recovery Facilities

Download or read book Environmental Impacts of Overdsign in Small Community Water Resource Recovery Facilities written by Andrew Pham and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) reduce environmental impacts related to water quality, their construction and operation result in negative environmental impacts in other categories. Past research into Nebraska WRRFs investigated variables determining energy intensity, opportunities and barriers for energy efficiency improvements, and environmental impacts of the construction and operation phase. This leads to the research question of what design practices can be considered to reduce the environmental impacts. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was used to evaluate and compare the inventory and environmental impacts of nine small WRRFs, most of which are serving slow growing or declining populations. Inventory data was collected from the facilities’ engineering design plans and utility bills and simplified to 21 lines of general representative inventory. The SimaPro v8 program used to convert inventory to environmental impact, and the Ecoinvent database was used for background data. The outputs were categorized by ten process elements to address the multi-functional nature of WRRFs and by the ten TRACI characterization factors. The biological reactor and the conveyance elements were identified as high impact process elements. Whereas the biological reactor had low impact variability, the conveyance had high variability. Three opportunities for impact mitigation were identified. The first suggested practice is to avoid significant overdesign by planning for no lower than a 75% capacity utilization. Planning for a lower design average flow rate was shown to mitigate lifetime electricity usage and secondary process concrete, and consequently Carcinogenic and Global Warming environmental impacts. Other suggested practices were focused on the conveyance process element, namely, to reduce ductile iron piping since it was found to contribute 93% of the carcinogenic impact in the conveyance element. The suggested practices were to minimize non-process facility area and to use polyvinyl chloride pipe instead of ductile iron pipe where possible.
