This volume presents advanced techniques and combined techniques used to convert energy to waste, including combustion, gasification, paralysis, anaerobic digestion and fermentation. The title focuses on solid waste conversion to fuel and energy, presenting advances in the design, manufacture and application of conversion technologies. Contributors from physics, chemistry, metallurgy, engineering and manufacturing present a truly trans-disciplinary picture of waste to energy conversion.
Huge volumes of solid waste are produced globally while, at the same time, huge amounts of energy are produced from fossil fuels. Waste to energy (WTE) technologies are developing rapidly, holding out the potential to make clean, sustainable power from waste material. These WTE procedures incorporate various methods and blended approaches, and present an enormous opportunity for clean, sustainable energy.
- Presents the latest advances in waste to energy techniques for converting solid waste to valuable fuel and energy
- Brings together contributors from physics, chemistry, metallurgy, engineering and the manufacturing industry
- Includes advanced techniques such as combustion, gasification, paralysis, anaerobic digestion and fermentation
- Goes far beyond municipal waste, including the recouping of valuable energy from a variety of industrial waste materials
Engineering researchers and industrial practitioners developing and implementing waste to energy generation technologies; postgraduate and advanced students in waste to energy conversion; professionals in waste to energy management; municipalities, policy makers, government/NGO officials, and industry managers
