  • Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things for Sustainable Environment

    • 1st Edition
    • Gwanggil Jeon + 2 more
    • English
    Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things for Sustainable Environment addresses urgent environmental issues stemming from urbanization, deforestation, and pollution by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. This book offers readers crucial insights into how AI can be integrated with IoT, providing the knowledge necessary for leveraging these technologies to foster a sustainable future. In addition to theoretical knowledge, this book serves as a practical guide, offering tailored practices for AI and IoT integration. Case studies provide hands-on experience, empowering readers to make informed decisions on selecting and applying various AI and IoT frameworks for environmental sustainability.

  • Biomass-Derived Materials for Environmental Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Ioannis Anastopoulos + 3 more
    • English
    Biomass-Derived Materials for Environmental Applications presents state-of-the-art coverage of bio-based materials that can be applied to address the growing global concern of pollutant discharge in the environment. The book examines the production, characterization and application of bio-based materials for remediation. Organized clearly by type of material, the book includes details on lignocellulosic materials, natural clays, carbonaceous materials, composites and advanced materials from natural origins. Readers will find an interdisciplinary and practical examination of these materials and their use in environmental remediation that will be valuable to environmental scientists, materials scientists, environmental chemists, and environmental engineers alike.

  • From Biofiltration to Promising Options in Gaseous Fluxes Biotreatment

    Recent Developments, New Trends, Advances, and Opportunities
    • 1st Edition
    • Gabriela Soreanu + 1 more
    • English
    From Biofiltration to Promising Options in Gaseous Fluxes Biotreatment: Recent Developments, New Trends, Advances, and Opportunities provides an overview on the biological tools used for the treatment of the gaseous fluxes, with emphasis on traditional and perspective options, opening new horizons for research and implementation in practice. It is known that air pollution is an emergent global issue and a priority within the international environmental programs. Moreover, technologies based on biological methods are significantly contributing to the sustainable development concept. Thus this book provides tools for solving air pollution issues in a sustainable manner. These issues can be solved at different levels (e.g., "end-of-pipe" gaseous streams, indoor/outdoor air, closed environments), which can be approached by the different biotechniques presented in the book, from classical biofiltration techniques (part 1) to phytotreatment and microalgae-based techniques (part 2). Although all options have their particularities that make them special for certain applications, a special attention is drawn to the potential of the last one, which offers multiple possibilities for biomass valorization. Scientists from worldwide with relevant experience in their field have been contributed to the development of this book.

  • Comprehensive Biotechnology

    • 3rd Edition
    • Murray Moo-Young
    • English
    Comprehensive Biotechnology, Third Edition, Six Volume Set unifies, in a single source, a huge amount of information in this growing field. The book covers scientific fundamentals, along with engineering considerations and applications in industry, agriculture, medicine, the environment and socio-economics, including the related government regulatory overviews. This new edition builds on the solid basis provided by previous editions, incorporating all recent advances in the field since the second edition was published in 2011.

  • Bioremediation and Bioeconomy

    • 1st Edition
    • Majeti Narasimha Vara Prasad
    • English
    Bioremediation and Bioeconomy provides a common platform for scientists from various backgrounds to find sustainable solutions to environmental issues, including the ever-growing lack of water resources which are under immense pressure due to land degradation, pollution, population explosion, urbanization, and global economic development. In addition, large amounts of toxic waste have been dispersed in thousands of contaminated sites and bioremediation is emerging as an invaluable tool for environmental clean-up. The book addresses these challenge by presenting innovative and cost-effective solutions to decontaminate polluted environments, including usage of contaminated land and waste water for bioproducts such as natural fibers, biocomposites, and fuels to boost the economy. Users will find a guide that helps scientists from various backgrounds find sustainable solutions to these environmental issues as they address the topical issues crucial for understanding new and innovative approaches for sustainable development.

  • Trade and Environment

    A Theoretical Enquiry
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 6
    • English
    This book analyzes the relationship of environmental quality, environmental policy and international trade. Environmental quality management will redefine comparative advantage of pollution-intensivel... producing sectors and will affect trade flows, the balance of payments and sectoral structure in industrialized nations as well as in developing countries. Since pollution-intensivel... producing sectors are also energy-intensive and belong to the so-called basic industries, we can expect that the issue will be of political interest in the next decades.
