ADVANCED BIOSEPARATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTES (HB 2025)

Advanced Bioseparation of Industrial Wastes: Sustainable Recovery of High-Value Metal Ions examines resource recovery from a variety of industrial waste streams, including sludge and wastewater, with an emphasis on both the fundamentals and the more advanced concepts involved. Chemical leaching, waste treatment, and other processes for metal extraction are broken down into their component parts in great detail. Several important metals, such as lithium, copper, gold, platinum, nickel, zinc, chromium, uranium, cobalt, rhodium, and indium, could be salvaged from recyclables. This book presents the best practices for dealing with waste from industries such as those involved in the production of electronic goods, automobiles, batteries, as well as mining and electroplating. It provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the many forms of industrial waste, including their composition, recycling processes, and the potential for recovery of essential metals, from the ground up.

Features:

• Provides updated occurrence and characteristics of a variety of high-value metal ions that can be recovered from different industrial wastes.
• Presents advanced chemical leaching technologies for those metal ions.
• Describes detailed accounts of physico-chemical-based reuse and recycle methodologies.
• Covers innovative approaches for the reutilization and management of industrial wastes.
