Resource recovery and recycling from millions of tons of wastes produced from industrial activities is a continuing challenge for environmental engineers and researchers. Demand for conservation of resources, reduction in the quantity of waste and sustainable development with environmental control has been growing in every part of the world. Waste Processing and Recycling in Mineral and Metallurgical Industries brings together the currently used techniques of waste processing and recycling, their applications with practical examples and economic potentials of the processes. Emphasis is on resource recovery by appropriate treatment and techniques. Material on the subject is scatterend in waste management and environmental related journals, conference volumes and government departmental technical reports. This work serves as a source book of information and as an educational technical reference for practicing scientists and engineers, as well as for students. * Describes the currently used and potential techniques for the recovery of valuable resources from mineral and metallurgical wastes * Discusses the applications to specific kinds of wastes with examples from current practices, as well as eht economics of the processes * Presents recent and emerging technologies of potentials in metal recycling and by-product utilization.

Soil enzymes play a fundamental role in many soil processes such as the mineralization of organic matter, the synthesis of humic substances, the degradation of xenobiotics or the mechanisms involved in the biocontrol of plant pathogens. Their direct link with soil microorganisms gives them a key role as biomonitors of the evolution of soil quality or in the monitoring of the application of organic amendments to degraded soils. As a consequence of the importance of soil enzymes on soil processes, there is an increasing interest in their study, as well as in the application of molecular techniques as diagnostic tools.

À l’ère de l’Anthropocène, nos villes semblent concentrer en leur sein tous les composants de la crise écologique en cours. Elles regorgent pourtant de ressources qui permettraient de résoudre une partie des problèmes que leur développement actuel suscite. Les matières déchues, les espaces bâtis, mais aussi les savoirs ancestraux et les pratiques culturelles représentent autant d’opportunités qui peuvent et doivent ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives d’action pour accompagner nos sociétés vers les nombreux changements qui se profilent. Déceler ces potentialités requiert intelligence et méthode, en raison notamment de leur nature latente, imperceptible, enfouie.Complément des recherches récentes sur le thème du recyclage dans les milieux urbains (Recycler l’urbain. Pour une écologie des milieux habités, MētisPresses, 2014), Ressources urbaines latentes nous amène à faire un pas en arrière pour diriger notre regard sur les conditions qui existent en amont de ces projets et pratiques de recyclage.

The use of renewable bioenergy is increasing, and so is the production of associated wastes: biomass ashes. This book presents eleven chapters on the options for recycling such biomass ashes, ranging from their use as fertilizer in agriculture and forestry to their application as a supplement for the production of cement-based materials or bricks. The book also examines the pros and cons for each of the different uses of biomass ashes.

The state of the art of the impact assessment of recycled hazardous waste materials on surface and ground waters is presented. The topics include chemodynamics, toxicology, modeling and information systems. Due to the wealth of information on this topic, the texts of T. Kassim (ed.): Environmental Impact Assessment are published in three separate volumes: vol. 1: Concepts, Methodology and Chemical Analysis; vol. 2: Risk Analysis and vol. 3: Engineering Modeling and Sustainability. The book serves as a practical conceptual guide for those who have professional responsibility for the monitoring, design, management, or conduct of environmental impact assessment. It is believed that the book will prove useful to the reader who, regardless of disciplinary background, wants to examine in greater detail the kinds of interdisciplinary contributions to contemporary decision-making processes that characterize modern impact assessment project development. Each volume contains the contents of all volumes.

Cradle to Cradle verovert de wereld, maar vooral Nederland. Het inspirerende verhaal van de bedenkers, Michael Braungart en William McDonough, vormt daarbij een belangrijke motor. Op tal van plaatsen en in diverse bedrijven gaat men enthousiast met het concept aan de slag. C2C maakt creativiteit los en leidt tot innovaties. Het leidt echter ook tot nieuwe vragen. Waar begin ik? Hoe krijg ik anderen enthousiast? Hoe realiseer ik C2C binnen een traditionele infrastructuur? Waar vind ik partners? Hoe kom ik aan de juiste kennis en materialen? Bij de mensen die iets willen met het concept bestaat vooral behoefte aan praktische informatie. Maar het C2C-concept laat zich niet vangen in regels of stappen. Elke specifieke situatie vraagt om een eigen aanpak. Omdat een blauwdruk ontbreekt, zijn het vooral de voorbeelden van anderen die inspireren en waar lessen uit kunnen worden getrokken. Kern van het boek vormen een vijftiental voorbeelden van Nederlandse bedrijven en organisaties die het C2C-concept toepassen. Of ze nu al een product of dienst hebben ontwikkeld, het voornemen hebben of midden in het proces zitten.

The construction industry operates within a linear economy of make, use, dispose. Buildings are stripped out and torn down with astonishing regularity while new buildings are constructed from hard-won virgin materials. But raw materials are becoming scarce, and the demands for them are exploiting fragile ecosystems, even as the global demand for resources continues to rise. Policy makers and organisations are beginning to look for a more regenerative, circular economy model. The construction industry demands over half the world's extracted materials and generates around a third of the total waste generated in the EU, making it a prime candidate for applying the circular economy. Yet there has been little focus on how construction industry professionals and their clients can contribute towards the movement. Drawing on illustrative methods and examples, Building Revolutions explains how the principles of a circular economy can be applied to the built environment where resources are kept in use and their value retained. 0The book describes how buildings and materials can be reused or salvaged to extend their life and proposes ways new business models can be applied to reduce capital and lifecycle costs, providing a positive architectural legacy for future generations.
