Sustainable Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Waste Management

Sustainable Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Waste Management addresses all aspects of sustainable use of carbon dioxide in waste management processes and provides best practices and process improvements for carbon sequestration in the management of a variety of waste types, including carbide lime waste, construction waste, and reject brine effluents, amongst others. The book also provides underlying research on the environmental impacts of these wastes and the need for carbon capture to emphasize the importance and need for improvements of these processes. Overall, this information will be key to determining lifecycle benefits of CO2 for each newly improved waste process.

This is an important source of information for environmental and sustainability scientists and engineers, as well as academics and researchers in the field who should be trying to achieve increased carbon capture in any form of waste process to reduce environmental impact.

"The book “Sustainable Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Waste Management” illustrates several options for the sustainable use of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the waste management sector… Overall, the book provides detailed information on CCS methods and CU strategies for the simultaneous management of different waste types and the mitigation of carbon emissions from human activities. The book is directed to a specialized audience, i.e. environmental and sustainability scientists, engineers and academics in the field...the book provides insights into the application of other CCS and CU as well as a comprehensive overview of how these techniques fit in the general framework of waste management and the circular economy."—Marco Schiavon, Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment (DAFNAE), University of Padova, Italy
