Electric pulse fragmentation (EPF) is a novel comminution process where ‘lightning bolts’, or highly energetic electrical discharges, are applied to materials immersed in water. These discharges exploit the variability in electrical and acoustic properties ...
Refining Biomass Residues for Sustainable Energy and Bioproducts: Technology, Advances, Life Cycle Assessment and Economics is a one-stop reference on the biorefinery of various kinds of residue and waste feedstock for the sustainable production of biofuel ...
Pollution is defined as “to make something impure”. Water bodies, natural or man-made, are susceptible to pollution ranging from plastic waste disposals to urban and industrial sewage discharge. Until 1960, records show that there were 262 water bodies in ...

The widespread use of nanoparticles (NPs) and other potentially ecotoxic chemical compounds to enhance the quality of consumer products has raised concern about their fate in the environment. Indeed, those products have to be ultimately disposed of and alo ...
Agroresidues are the waste by-products of agricultural crops and agroindustries. The generation of these waste materials poses disposal issues that lead to environmental and economic concerns. These issues could be addressed by utilizing these waste materi ...
Reuse reduces raw material use, waste generation and energy consumption caused by building construction. A substantial share of these impacts is contributed by load-bearing systems be-cause of their mass- and energy-intensive production process. Therefore, ...
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Resource Recovery from Wastes includes the latest and innovative research and technological developments in the biotechnology and bioengineering pertaining to various resource(s) recovery from waste ...
