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.
