Environmental science, engineering and technology

A geopolymer is a solid aluminosilicate material usually formed by alkali hydroxide or alkali silicate activation of a solid precursor such as coal fly ash, calcined clay and/or metallurgical slag.

Until recently, much of the development of building materials has predominantly focused on producing cheaper, stronger and more durable construction materials.

This book looks at the technical advances in the limitation of waste such as that produced by computing processes and the various industrial practices employed by major companies for waste disposal and minimisation.

An increasing amount of waste is generated each year from textiles and their production.

Ozone has been actively and widely employed in water and wastewater treatment, but the utilization of ozone alone is insufficient for purifying and disinfecting water to the emission standard of real-world situations because of its selective oxidation behaviour.

Membrane technology has received great popularity in many industrial sectors and significantly enhanced our abilities to restructure production processes, protect the environment and public health, and provide competitive strategies for separation and purification.

Beneficial properties of graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) have been discovered in recent years during the promotion of its visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity for water splitting.

With escalating global population, increased consumption of fossil fuels, spiralling energy demand, rapid environmental degradation and global climate change, energy and environmental issues are receiving considerable attention worldwide from the purview of sustainable development.

Sustainable development, the circular economy and environmental issues are at the forefront of public and Government concern.

Environmental remediation technologies to control or prevent pollution from hazardous waste material is a growing research area in academia and industry, and is a matter of utmost concern to public health, to improve ecology and to facilitate the redevelopment of a contaminated site.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an established methodology used to quantify the environmental impacts of products, processes and services.

Greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technologies can remove greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Physics and Ecology in Fluids: Modeling and Numerical Experiments develops mathematical and numerical modeling methodologies for coupled biological-hydrodynamic problems with a focus on process studies.

This book presents a complete state of the art for different types of nanomaterial, their environmental fate, and their use in textile waste remediation.

Innovation is a critical facilitator in today's fast-changing global value chain landscape.

The theory of biophilia posits that there is an innate connection between all the species that share Earth's biosphere and that this connection is inherently collaborative as organisms work together to ensure survival as opposed to competing for resources and territory.

Pollution and ways to combat it have become topics of great concern for researchers.

Rapid changes in technology and lifestyle have led to a dramatic increase in energy demand.

Due to legal and consumer demands, eco-friendly resources that comply with environmental concerns while maintaining or improving performance are highly sought amongst manufacturers.

A central concern that has remained relevant in recent years has been the management of waste and pollution.

While hydrogen is of vital and growing importance in many industrial sectors, this volatile substance poses unique challenges, including easy leakage, low ignition energy, a wide range of combustible fuel- air mixtures, buoyancy, and its ability to embrittle metals that are required to ensure safe operation.

We live under the threat of humanity's self-inflicted extinction.

The unit process approach, common in the field of chemical engineering, was introduced about 1962 to the field of environmental engineering.

This book discusses the detrimental consequences of climate-related land changes over a 40-year period between 1981 and 2020, and focuses on how climate warming is deteriorating the agricultural system due to excessive heat, lack of moisture and more intensive and widespread droughts leading to a reduction of agricultural production.
