Produktbeschreibung

Waste to Profit: Environmental Concerns and Sustainable Development gives information about selecting the most suitable technology for waste treatment and energy recovery under different conditions. It contains techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment, optimization of tools and technologies, including overview of various technologies involved in the treatment of wastes and factors influencing the involved processes. Finally, it explores the environmental, socioeconomic, and sustainability impact of different waste-to-energy systems.

Features:

• Reviews energy sources and technologies from waste, their environmental interactions, and the relevant global energy policies
• Provides overview of waste-to-energy technologies for a sustainable future
• Explores physicochemical properties involved in the pertinent process and technologies
• Gives a multidisciplinary view about energy conversion and management, planning, controlling, and monitoring processes
• Discusses information in transferring the technologies' industrial level and global level to meet the requirements of different countries

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental engineering, energy engineering, waste management, waste to energy, and bioenergy.

She has received many best paper awards in international conferences, has been granted two patents, and has published more than 100 articles in renowned international journals (h-index: 28; i-index: 49; citations 2550). Her research interest is in the fields of separation processes, functional materials for water treatment, alternate fuels, and medical applications. She has authored three chemical engineering textbooks - Process Calculations , Elements of Mass Transfer (Part I) , and Mass Transfer Theory and Practice - and coauthored A Thermo Economic Approach to Energy from Waste. She has also authored seven book chapters. Under her supervision, she has guided several Ph.D. scholars, postgraduates, and undergraduates. She has contributed research, sponsored, and provided consultancy on projects on sustainable functional materials toward environment and energy applications funded by MHRD, DST-SERB, CSIR, MHRD-SPARC, and DST-BRICS. She has undertaken research collaboration and training at NUS, Singapore, through TEQIP in 2006 and has involved herself in consultancy projects on downstreaming applications in distilleries, dairy industries, Southern Railways, etc., professionally related activities, and administrative responsibilities to serve the community. Anand Ramanathan is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Dean (Research & Consultancy) in Industry & Outreach at National Institute of Technology, Trichy. He is a recipient of the Australian Endeavour Fellow and worked in the area of solar fuels at Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, in 2015. He also serves as Expert Member of the Centre of Excellence in Corrosion and in Corrosion and Surface Engineering. As a recognition of his contributions, he was awarded N.K. Iyengar Memorial Prize in 2009, Outstanding scientist VIRA Award in 2017, Dr. Radhakrishnan Award in 2018, and NITT's Best Innovator Award in 2022. His area of specialization is Internal Combustion Engines, and it expands to the field of alternative fuels, waste-to-energy conversion technologies, emission control, and fuel cells. He has guided eight Ph.D. and four MS research scholars and is at present guiding six Ph.D. scholars. His research-oriented scholarship has facilitated him to publish more than 60 Science Citation SCI/Scopus Indexed research journals and presented papers in several international conferences besides presenting a paper in Applied Energy (ICAE2018 - Hong Kong), ASME, USA, and SAE International conferences at Detroit, USA. He has been granted four Indian patents in the area of biocatalyst and biofuel. He has visited Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, France, the United States, and Bangladesh for academic collaborations. He has authored 3 books and 11 book chapters in renowned publications.
