Overview
Fundamentals and Applications of Waste Treatment and Valorization serves as a comprehensive guide to processing a wide array of waste materials, including biomass, wastewater, and plastics, and their potential transformation into renewable value-added and sustainable products. The book combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications to equip readers with innovative solutions and a roadmap for implementing sustainable waste management strategies. Each chapter delves into the principles of various waste treatment technologies—such as anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and hydrothermal conversion—reinforced by real-world case studies. Covering a wide range of applications from plastics recycling and liquid fuel production to biogas generation and hydrogen production, this book is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and professionals in chemical and environmental engineering. Additionally, it evaluates the environmental impacts of these technologies, providing insights into sustainability and policy implications.
