About the Book

The concept of a circular economy has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. Many of the sources of chemicals we have become reliant on are dwindling and the accumulation of waste products poses a serious environmental problem. By recovering resources from these waste materials, we can reduce our dependence on virgin feedstocks that may not be sustainable as well as reducing the quantity of material going to landfill sites. Incorporating different perspectives from a global authorship, this book aims to introduce systems thinking to the field of waste and resource management. The topics covered range from the use of biogeochemical processes in resource recovery to the application of engineered nanomaterials, with information relevant to both academia and industry. The broad range and cross-disciplinary nature of the topics in this book make it a valuable resource for those working in circular economy research, green chemistry and waste and resource management.

Table of Contents:
A New Perspective on a Global Circular Economy; Use of Biotechnology for Conversion of Lignocellulosic Waste into Biogas and Renewable Chemicals; Biohydrogen Production from Agricultural and Food Wastes and Potential for Catalytic Side Stream Valorisation from Waste Hydrolysates; Metal Recovery Using Microbial Electrochemical Technologies; Adding Value to Ash and Digestate (AVAnD Project): Elucidating the Role and Value of Alternative Fertilisers on the Soil–Plant System; An Exploration of Key Concepts in Application of In Situ Processes for Recovery of Resources from High-volume Industrial and Mine Wastes; Integrating Remediation and Resource Recovery of Industrial Alkaline Wastes: Case Studies of Steel and Alumina Industry Residues; Potential Application of Direct and Indirect Iron Bioreduction in Resource Recovery from Iron Oxide-bearing Wastes; Biorefining of Metallic Wastes into New Nanomaterials for Green Chemistry, Environment and Energy; New Frontiers in Metallic Bio-nanoparticle Catalysis and Green Products from Remediation Processes; Applications of Engineered Nanomaterials in the Recovery of Metals from Wastewater; From Bioenergy By-products to Alternative Fertilisers: Pursuing a Circular Economy; Metallic Wastes into New Process Catalysts: Life Cycle and Environmental Benefits within Integrated Analyses Using Selected Case Histories; Complex Value Optimisation for Resource Recovery (CVORR): Assessing the Systemic Impact of Multiple Low-carbon Decisions in the Interlinked Concrete-steel-electricity Sectors; Governing Resource Flows in a Circular Economy: Rerouting Materials in an Established Policy Landscape; New Governance for Circular Economy: Policy, Regulation and Market Contexts for Resource Recovery from Waste

About the Author :
Lynne Macaskie trained in Microbiology and Biochemistry (BSc PhD University of London). She had PDRA positions at Universities of Cambrodge and Oxford working on biodeterioration and then metal microbe interactions and took a faculty position at U. Oxford in 1985 to develop a process for waste bio-cleanup, including nuclear waste. She was appointed lecturer at Univ. Birmingham in 1991 where her interests expanded into process engineering, inorganic chemistry of nanoparticles and nanotechnology, as well as waste treatment and the circular economy. She has over 250 publications/patents as well as substantial research income (multi-million) from BBSRC, EPSRC, NERC, EU and the Royal Society, from whom she was awarded an Industrial Fellowship and the Brain Mercer Senior Award for Innovation.
