Abstract

"Water Resources Management for Rural Development: Challenges and Mitigation provides an overview of the current challenges of rural water and its management strategies. The content contains practical and theoretical aspects of the water crisis in rural areas in a changing climate era, with an emphasis on recent water crisis research and management strategies. The book's structure contains fundamentals of water resources, pollution, remediation, supply and management strategies. Case studies included provide different water-related issues around the globe, introducing the reader to the paths of reducing the burden on the groundwater and the alternative options for the supply of water in rural areas. Decision-makers and water supply authorities will benefit from this unique resource that comprehensively covers rural water management in ways no comparable book has achieved."--ScienceDirect website.

Abstract

This volume discusses the reduction, recycling, and reuse of industrial and agricultural biomass wastes to develop value-added products using environmentally sustainable practices and technologies. Through these waste valorization approaches, biomass waste materials can be converted into useful bio-chemical products, sustainable construction materials, polymers, bio-energy, and bio-fuel as sustainable alternatives to products and materials with negative environmental and health consequences. The chapters highlight the development and implementation of eco-friendly solutions to biomass waste production with the aim of reducing natural resource deterioration, bolstering rural and small-scale business systems in communities impacted by pollution and climate change, and providing power from residual biomass to broadly reduce environmental impacts through improved waste management practices. The book is intended to be a useful resource for researchers, policymakers, NGOs, government agencies, and local community authorities working in waste management and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This book encompasses the knowledge about diverse types of advanced functional nanomaterial development using biogenic materials and associated applications along with various types of waste materials. Biomass generated from different industries has been long identified as major organic waste and it is a one of the major sources of contamination in the environment. This book will provide the global scenarios of low-cost biogenic materials and their suitability, pretreatment, and the ways to synthesize different kinds of nanomaterials (NMs) including carbonaceous, organic, inorganic and polymeric methods. The quantitative and qualitative characterization and applications of NMs will also be discussed in this book along with scientific and technical knowledge to manage suitable waste materials for NMs synthesis. Significant gaps and similarities between chemical synthesis and green synthesis along with their mechanism will be covered in detail as a point of comparison. The book will also contain the information on the need of policies required for waste management and option for their utilization along with the sources of their generation. The book also contains latest broad aspects of both practical and theoretical fabrication of metal NPs using biogenic waste materials. An emphasis has been made on the recent research related to advance NPs and their application. This book will be useful for undergraduate students, teachers, engineers and researchers, especially those working in areas of environmental science, material science, physical science, biotechnology, biochemistry and microbiology.

Abstract

"Green and Sustainable Approaches Using Wastes for the Production of Multifunctional Nanomaterials focuses on the examination of green synthesis utilizing green waste materials derived from home and industrial applications. This book also examines the current state of material generations, future problems and their industrial constraints, and the synthesis of NMs for various applications such as medicinal, agriculture, environmental, food and beverage storage, and so on. The book includes the most recent practical and theoretical aspects of the use of waste materials released in the fabrication of various types of valuable nanomaterials, such as metal, metal oxide, polymeric, and graphene, among others. This is a relatively new concept in waste utilization, and green synthesis is a viable resource in making NPs. This book will also be valuable for waste management professionals who need proper disposal techniques for by-products. Provides various types of waste management helps to develop innovative ideas Discusses waste to valuable wealth, waste resources management, approaches to focus sustainable development, pollution reduction, and alternative options for smooth recovery of resources Contains advanced information about green nanotechnology."--Provided by publisher.
