Source Reduction and Waste Minimization (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Source Reduction and Waste Minimization is the second volume in the series Advanced Zero Waste Tools: Present and Emerging Waste Management Practices. It addresses processes and practices for waste minimization to support efforts to promote a more sustainable society and provide readers with a proper understanding of the major mechanisms followed for waste minimization across fields. Despite being one of the major challenges mankind is facing to establish a sustainable society, waste minimization techniques are not broadly adopted and an organized collection of these techniques with corresponding evidence of results is not available currently. This book covers numerous mechanisms supported by scientific evidence and case studies, as well as in-depth flowcharts and process diagrams to allow for readers to adopt these processes.

Summarizing the present and emerging zero waste tools on the scale of both experimental and theoretical models, Advanced Zero Waste Tools is the first step toward understanding the state-of-the-art practices in making the zero-waste goal a reality. In addition to environmental and engineering principles, it also covers economic, toxicologic, and regulatory issues, making it an important resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers working toward environmental sustainability.

• Uses fundamental, interdisciplinary, and state-of-the-art coverage of zero waste research to provide an integrated approach to tools, methodology, and indicators for waste minimization
• Covers current challenges, design and manufacturing technology, and sustainability applications
• Includes up-to-date references and web resources at the end of each chapter, as well as a webpage dedicated to providing supplementary information

He started his professional career in Jubilant Biosys Ltd, Bangalore, as a scientist in the cheminformatics division. Then he joined as a research fellow at Central Salt And Marine Chemical Research Institute (CSMCRI) - a unit of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, and obtained his Ph.D. degree. He also worked as a DAAD research fellow in Technical University, Kaiserslautern, Germany. Presently, Dr. Mosae is working as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Asian university for Women (AUW), Chattogram, Bangladesh. Before joining AUW, Dr. Mosae has worked as Assistant professor of chemistry at Karunya University, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India. Dr. Mosae's research interests include synthesis of small bioactive molecules, development of value-added products from asian palm (Palmyraculture), Molecular recognition/Machines, development of Sensor molecules for anions/cations/ small molecules in Water, water treatment, Chemo/Biosensors, Host-guest Chemistry, DNA binding-Drug delivery using Nanoparticles-material chemistry, Antibacterial and wound healing molecules, Photochemistry, Metallo-Supramolecular material chemistry-Helicate, MOF, flame retardant materials, Green chemistry, waste to wealth, Pollution control, Environmental conservation, Science for self-reliant life style/Sustainable development, grassroots innovations, and Social entrepreneurshipSamiha Nuzhat completed her Undergraduate studies with a double major in Environmental Science and Bioinformatics from Asian University for Women (AUW), Chattogram, Bangladesh. Currently, she is working as a Junior Research Officer at Water and Life Bangladesh, a French NGO dedicated to assure safe and reliable domestic water service, sustainable sanitation, hygiene training and other other need-based community empowerment initiatives, specified for the urban slum dwellers. Samiha also worked a Teaching Assistant (TA) for two and half years and as a TA, she assisted other undergraduate students in understanding the concepts of multiple science courses. She is also a passionate researcher who has been working in multiple research projects related to the fields of environment and sustainability. Samiha has diversified research experience involving different vulnerable communities (refugees, homeless people, slum dwellers etc.) on different issues. Her major research interests encompass water & waste management, green technology, WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene), GIS (Geographic Information System), Remote Sensing and other emerging fields of environmental research.Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain is an Adjunct Professor and Director of Laboratories at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Newark, NJ, USA. His research focuses on the applications of nanotechnology and advanced materials, environmental management, analytical chemistry, and other various industries.
