1st Edition
Recycling and Reuse of Materials and Their Products
This important book is an overall analysis of different innovative methods and ways of recycling in connection with various types of materials. It aims to provide a basic understanding about polymer recycling and its reuse as well as presents an in-depth look at various recycling methods. It provides a thorough knowledge about the work being done in recycling in different parts of the world and throws light on areas that need to be further explored. Emphasizing eco-friendly methods and recovery of useful materials
The book covers a wide variety of innovative recycling methods and research, including
• Green methods of recycling
• Effective conversion of biomass and municipal wastes
to energy-generating systems
• A catalyst for the reuse of glycerol byproduct
• Methods of adsorption to treat wastewater
and make it suitable for irrigation and other purposes
• Disposal of sludge
• The use of calcined clay to replace both fine and
coarse aggregates
• Recycling of rubbers
