1st Edition
Application of Waste Materials in Lightweight Aggregates
Application of Waste Materials in Lightweight Aggregates presents the current state of knowledge on aggregates production methods, their characteristics, current standards and legal regulations. In addition, the book briefly discusses the issue of the presence of different types of waste in the environment (including municipal, agricultural, energy and mining industries), their characteristics and uses for the production of lightweight aggregates.
This book serves as a source of academic information on the course and conditions of using various waste treatment processes for academics, engineers, professionals, and students interested in environmental engineering, and for companies dealing with recycling and disposal of waste.
