Описание: In this collection, the authors open with a review of current state of the art methods for the recovery and reuse of selected monomers and biomacromolecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids) from municipal solid waste. They discuss the most relevant recoverable chemical building blocks and biomacromolecules, as well as their potential applications. Following this, polyethylene terephthalate is analyzed as one of the major post-consumer plastics in solid waste streams because of the ongoing expansion of the PET bottle market. A study is conducted wherein co-pyrolysis is proposed for co-processing PET wastes with woody biomass in order to improve the quality and yield of liquid products for their use as fuels. A subsequent study proposes a recycling process for the recovery of zinc and manganese from Zn-Mn batteries, the goal of which is to determine the optimal conditions of manganese and zinc extraction from black mass of spent zinc-manganese batteries. The ability to obtain final products such as manganese oxide(IV) from recycling material makes it possible to use them in new batteries. Also in this collection, the authors synthesize wood ash based geopolymer to determine its optimal conditions. An almost complete disappearance of spherical forms and increasing the porosity of the structure of the obtained geopolymers were observed, and moreover, spectroscopic analysis was performed and the specific surface area was determined by the BET method. Another study details the aspects of waste generation sources and management practices such as collection, storage, transportation and disposal in an environmental and economic manner, along with upcoming challenges. A review of sludge pretreatment and extracellular polymeric substance extraction enhancing the sludge management process is presented. The intensification process applied to the wastewater treatment, the integration process applied to wastewater treatment, and the biorefinery concept integrated to wastewater treatment plants are reviewed, summarizing a range of possibilities for improving the sustainability of the industrial production chain. Next, the book focuses on agricultural biomass residues such as corncobs, sunflower husks, olive stones, peanut shells, pistachio shells, pine sawdust and brewery waste, in order to determine the general characteristics and the specific properties that make them suitable for incorporation into clay mixtures for the production of ceramics. Their chemical compositions and morphological structures are analyzed. The closing paper describes the equilibrium and kinetic studies which contributed to our understanding of the properties of the new sorbent such as chemically modified coal fly ash. Based on the sorption capacity obtained, modified coal fly ash is proposed for the treatment of wastewaters containing heavy metal and dye.

Описание: An increased demand for recycling has prompted the food industry to become more efficient in its handling of waste. Food waste is among the priority streams for waste prevention worldwide, as it is generated at large quantities at all levels of the food production and consumption chain, in both developed and developing countries, throughout the year. This book discusses practices, management and challenges of food waste. The first chapter discusses current agricultural development systems. Chapter Two presents a review of the works of research that have been developed in the last decade on the use of food wastes as sources of antioxidant compounds, such as polyphenols. Chapter Three provides a critical overview on the studies that deal specifically with food applications, mainly focusing on their potential as sources of fibers and associated phenolics and respective antioxidant activity. Chapter Four contributes to innovation in research on the valorisation techniques that have been developed for the use of food wastes as well as examines future directions in the field. Chapter Five reviews conventional methods currently applied in Vietnam for treatment of food waste, and then proposes a promising solution using anaerobic digestion technology. Chapter Six provides an overview of the generation of food waste within households in Greece and investigates the potential for prevention. Chapter Seven investigates heat generation and oxygen levels during the storage of soy sauce squeezing residue and fish meal, by-products of soy sauce and fish production and processing, respectively, by thermal analysis and gas chromatography. The final chapter discusses sugarcane bagasse hemicellulose properties, extraction technologies and xylooligosaccharides production.

Описание: Miller`s Nursing for Wellness in Older Adults was adapted for the Canadian audience with its focus on the older Canadian and the professional Canadian based nurse. This Canadian approach enables students and registered nurses to acquire fundamental knowledge about the health issues faced by older Canadians and the resources that this country can offer us to provide quality nursing care. In every chapter of this textbook, students will have access to Canadian content and resources abound. The authors have showcased and shared many of the best practices that were developed and are being used in this country. In addition, they specifically added an evidence-informed nursing practice box that illustrates some of the research being done in this country. This is research that provides you and us, as Canadian nurses, with the evidence to inform our nursing practice. Evidence-informed practice is an expectation of the Canadian Nurses Association and all provincial / territorial jurisdictions.

Описание: Water is one of the most important resources of all , Businesses, communities, and ecosystems everywhere depend on clean freshwater to survive and prosper. When the same source of water is shared for economic, social and environmental causes it becomes the responsibility of every sector to develop a sustainable water strategy beneficial for all. Like agriculture and domestic use Industries also consume great amount of water which is generally sourced from the common environmental resource shared by the natural and thuman communityies. While utilising  water corporates have a responsibility to understand the source of water, its quantum and vulnerability so that conflicts among different stakeholders can be avoided. While doing so the corporate managers will face many challenges coming out of resource assessment, water accounting, water sharing, water disclosure and compliance and different government statutes and law of the land.  Corporations are now facing diverse water risks, including changing allotments, more stringent water-quality regulations, growing community interest and control over local resources, and increased public scrutiny of water-related activities. Another great challenge for the industries is the gradual decline of water resource in different part of the world due to increase in demand, change in landscape, climate change etc. The industries now should face not only the competition in resource sharing but also the impacts of climate change. The term efficient water use will be applied to those businesses which have minimised the water use and properly protected the source water, used technologies and water management system that minimises the water requirement and complies all necessary norms and statues regarding maintaining the water quality and quantity. Water stewardship implies that a corporate not only manages its own water but it also integrates different stakeholders in the management process and develops an integrated system where water sharing is equitable, careful, and sustainable. While dealing with challenges in water management corporate managers will encounter opportunities that will lead them in developing a sustainable water strategy.The aim of this book is to offer a water resource management plan for industries which is directly implementable and consistent with the Water Framework Directives of different countries with a special emphasis on developing countries. The contributor, who is a leading world expert in these fields, develops an integrated water resources management plan for the industries which is economically efficient, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable. The book offers explicit technical and investment solutions, socioeconomic and legal instruments and recommendations for institutional restructuring. The introductory chapter describes the water situation throughout the world and how the industries are sharing the resource and how conflicts are developing between industries and ecosystem. In the first chapter the author describes a hydro-ecological approach of water resource management. The modalities and methods of assessment of source water has been discussed in this chapter along with an introduction to the basic concepts for understanding of water resource. Chapter 2 introduces the case study area highlighting the particular pressures and impacts as well as the environmental functions and values of sustainable water resource management. Chapter 3 deals with corporate water strategy for water security. In this chapter water security has been defined as the availability of an acceptable quantity and quality of water for health, livelihoods, ecosystems and production, coupled with an acceptable level of water related risks to people, environments and economies. Water security has always been a societal priority — in its absence people and economies have remained vulnerable and poor. How the corporate should handle the emerging demands, social
