This new resource focuses on many recent advances in recycling and reuse of materials, outlining basic tools and novel approaches. It covers important issues as e-waste recycling, bio-mass recycling, vermitechnology, recovery of metals, polymer recycling, environmental remediation, waste management, recycling of nanostructured materials, and more.

In this new volume, experts address the use of different technologies. They look at technology to process foods with ways to preserve the nutrients, eliminate anti-nutrients and toxins, add vitamins and minerals, and reduce waste. The book explores several modern techniques used to preserve the essential nutritional benefits of foods.

Bioactive Compounds of Medicinal Plants: Properties and Potential for Human Health sheds light on the immense potential of medicinal plants from human health from different technological aspects, focusing on the continent of Africa.

Sustainable Horticulture, Volume 1: Diversity, Production, and Crop Improvements outlines the contemporary trends in sustainable horticulture research in particular, covering topics on crop diversity, species variability and conservation strategies, production technology, tree architecture management, plant propagation and nutrition management.

Sustainable Horticulture, Volume 2: Food, Health, and Nutrition addresses some of the most important topics facing horticulture around the world today. This volume, part of the two-volume compendium, focuses on research trends in sustainable horticulture

Polymeric and Nanostructured Materials: Synthesis, Properties, and Advanced Applications provide in-depth knowledge and recent research on polymers and nanostructured materials from synthesis to advanced applications.

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the authors present the current state-of-the-art technology in key materials with an emphasis on the rapidly growing technologies. The volume presents new research on an array of new developments and technique that will be valuable for chemists and chemical engineers.

Engineering Technology and Industrial Chemistry with Applications, brings together innovative research, new concepts, and novel developments in the application of new tools for chemical and materials engineers. It provides a collection of innovative chapters on new scientific and industrial research.

In the first edition of this book, the authors introduced a method to measure and improve on information flow for knowledge workers in the modern office. They showed how to adapt the factory-derived Lean body of knowledge into today''s service economy and highlighted several useful software tools and trends in collaborative and cloud services. Since the original publication, several other tools have emerged that more closely match the ideas in the book. This second edition builds on its popular predecessor with updates to the software sections and provides refined predictions for the Lean office.

This new looks at recent developments and innovations in food technology and sustainable technologies. Advanced topics in the volume include food processing, preservation, nutritional analysis, quality control and maintenance as well as good manufacturing practices in the food industries. The chapters are highly focused reports to help direct the development of current food- and agriculture-based knowledge into promising technologies.

This book highlights advances in sustainable wastewater treatment technologies, particularly biological wastewater treatment, cavitation-based treatment, hybrid water treatment, membrane technologies, advance oxidation processes, and adsorption. The book focuses on a variety of advanced treatment techniques that are useful for the degradation of organic components, dyes, heavy metals effluent, etc. in wastewater. Looking at the use of intensified chemical processes in order to make cleaner environment, Innovative Technologies for the Treatment of Industrial Wastewater explores the new and innovative methods for pollutant removal that will prove useful for a variety of industries.

"This book is intended to be an undergraduate text for junior and senior level students majoring in materials science and engineering (MSE). Most MSE undergraduate programs have a one-semester kinetics course in their curricula that has taken the place of a classical physical chemistry course and one or more courses on materials processing. This book is not intended to be a reference work that summarizes and evaluates all of the reactions and phase transformations of importance in materials science and engineering, although some unique topics are presented. Given the breadth of the field today--metals, ceramics, electronic materials, polymers, biomaterials, and composites--it is not feasible to cover all of kinetics. Nevertheless, it does cover considerably more material than can be covered in a one semester course and includes approaches and topics that are rarely found elsewhere that might be useful to graduate students, researchers, and industrial practitioners. One goal of this book is to incorporate important concepts that all students in materials science and engineering should be exposed to at some point in their careers based on the author's personal experience as a student, researcher, practicing engineer, and instructor over a number of years"--

Understanding Interaction is a book that explores the interaction between people and technology, in the broader context of the relations between the human-made and the natural environments.

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. This valuable compendium provides an overview of the variables and consequences of oceanic carbon cycling in the context of climate change. The chapters highlight the importance of marine plankton in carbon processing as well as the effects of rising CO2 and

This third book in the three-volume Plant Secondary Metabolites examines the relationship between environmental stress and the physiology of plants, leading to stimulation of secondary metabolites.

Plant secondary metabolites are organic compounds that aid in the growth and development of plants but are not required for the plant to survive by fighting off herbivores, pests, and pathogens. These plant secondary metabolites have been used since early times in various medicines and food products for beneficial health purposes and are still r

Plant Secondary Metabolites: Volume 1: Biological and Therapeutic Significance, presents important information on the curative and therapeutic roles of secondary metabolites present in different natural food groups. The book showcases the applications of herbal-based food group and also includes the effective utility of other plant-based food categories.
