Advances in Energy from Waste: Transformation Methods, Applications and Limitations Under Sustainability (Woodhead Advances in Pollution Research)

Advances of Energy from Waste: Transformation Methods, Applications and Limitations Under Sustainability provides advanced, systematic information on the environmental transformation of waste and pollutants of various origins into useful products, contributing to the development of the local economy and increasing the sustainability of the energy sector. In addition, remarkable competences in design, performance, efficiency, and implementation of diverse systems utilized for waste energy recovery are evaluated. The book also includes recent advances in biomass-derived green catalysts for various catalytic applications, along with the challenges of controlled synthesis and the impact of morphological, physical, and chemical properties on their adsorption or desorption capability.

• Serves as a starting point for further research into waste management and biomass conversion
• Provides an overview of recent developments in the field of waste-to-energy
• Discusses recent advances in biomass-derived green catalysts for various catalytic applications
• Introduces diverse case studies on waste, pollution, sustainability, technologies, health risk, and future prospective
