دانلود کتاب Thermochemical waste treatment: combustion, gasification, and other methodologies

"With a growing world population, diminishing fossil fuel resources, and increasing waste generation, the world finds itself in a critical situation. The people of the world will have to think in a different way about the materials they no longer use or need. Increasing attention is being paid to the valorization of solid wastes--converting them into energy or other useful products. This book describes recent research into methodologies and technologies for managing various forms of solid waste, while at the same time generating energy and revenue with less impact on the environment. Topics include: combustion; gasification; pyrolysis; hydrothermal carbonization. The transition from a fossil fuel-based economy to a more sustainable economy will require a solid foundation of ongoing scientific research. The editor of this compendium, a well-respected researcher in the field, has selected studies that help to build that foundation. The book is intended for a wide audience, ranging from engineers and academics to decision-makers in both the public and private sectors."-- Read more...
