This book introduces advanced or emerging technologies for conversion of wastes into a variety
of high-value chemicals and materials. Energy and resources can be recovered from various
residential industrial and commercial wastes such as municipal wastewater and sludge e-waste
waste plastics and resins crop residues forestry residues and lignin. Advanced
waste-to-resource and energy technologies like pyrolysis hydrothermal liquefaction
fractionation de-polymerization gasification and carbonization are also introduced. The book
serves as an essential guide to dealing with various types of wastes and the methods of
disposal recovery recycling and re-use. As such it is a valuable resource for a wide
readership including graduate students academic researchers industrial researchers and
practitioners in chemical engineering waste management waste to energy and resources
conversion and biorefinery.
