Technical topics discussed in the book include:                    

• Municipal solid waste management
• Recycling of WEEE
• Waste to industrially important product like lignin and cellulose
• Recycling of agriculture waste

Review:

Professor Fernando Gomes, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Few times in life we have the chance to know such a promising young talent as Mr. Jibin, from who I am very proud to announce his first book as Editor, which is entitled "Re-Use and Recycling of Materials Solid Waste Management and Water Treatment". This astonishing book deals with several critical subjects to our Society, which is responsible for the Anthropocene.Jibin and Senior editors (Prof.AngeNizhou (IMTMinesAlbi, France); Prof. NandakumarKalarikkal (MGU, India): and Prof.SabuThomas (MGU, India)) show us, through the 24 chapters of this book several ways to deal with our Environment impacts, starting by the removal of Arsenic (IV) from waters up to the sustainability of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment! So, without more delays, I recommend this book, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am!

Prof. Ange Nzihou (M) is a Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering since 2012. Since 2000, he has developed outstanding expertise in research fields such as Energy and added value materials from Biomass and Waste; Elaboration, functionalisation phosphate based composites/hybrid materials (sorbents, fertilizers, catalysts, energy carriers, sensors) for energy, agriculture and depollution(liquid, gas, solid phases); Thermochemical processes (pyrolysis, gasification, reforming) for biochar, bioash and energy production; The behavior of pollutants such as heavy metals and aerosols (fine particles) and Kinetics and transfer phenomena are among its field of expertise. He is Visiting Professor in number of renown Universities (USA, Ireland, China, India). He is the Editor-in-Chief of the peer reviewed journal "Waste and Biomass Valorization", and the founding Chair of the WasteEng Conference Series dedicated to the organisation of conferences and seminars on Waste and Biomass Valorisation since 2005. He is currently editing a Handbook on characterisation of biomass, biowaste and related by-products (Springer) to be published in June 2019. He obtained some International and National significant scientific recognition and awards such as the Grand Prix 2018 of the Academy of Sciences (France) in association with IMT (Institut Mines-Telecom) for his outstanding contribution in science and technology of Energy transition. He was also awarded with the Erudite Professor of the Mahatma Ghandi University (India) in 2018. The previous recipients of this professorship are well known and outstanding international scientists, academicians and Nobel Prize winners. He is also evaluator for Executive Committee of the World Bank (The PASET Scholarship in Innovation Fund programme).
