Medical mineralogy and geochemistry constitute an important field, yet little attention has been paid to it by scientists, administrators, or the public. The aims of this book are: (a) to focus on a selection of current challenges and research opportunities and (b) to encourage knowledge transfer between geochemists and mineralogists whose work concerns medical problems and medical scientists who study problems surrounding biominerals and geomaterials. This book covers a variety of novel approaches, tools and techniques, and scenarios of contamination in water and wastewater, and is a key resource for policymakers and environmental scientists working hard to address environmental pollutants. The key features are: state-of-the-art techniques for the assessment and remediation of heavy metals, presenting the interdisciplinary impacts of heavy metals, including those on human health, ecosystems and water quality, and including various contamination indices, such as contamination factor, geoaccumulation index, enrichment factor, pollution index and ecological risk index.

This book introduces a variety of treatment technologies, such as physical, chemical, and biological methods for the treatment of gas emissions, wastewater, and solid waste. It provides a useful source of information for engineers and specialists, as well as for undergraduate and postgraduate students, in the areas of environmental science and engineering.

Technology: general issues --- adsorption --- chromium --- competition --- fluoride --- soil and water pollution --- municipal solid waste management --- life cycle assessment --- life cycle impacts --- life cycle stages --- eutrophication --- global warming --- human health --- acidification --- Harare --- Zimbabwe --- iron tailings --- ammonium sulfate roasting process --- reaction mechanism --- kinetics --- carbon footprint --- CiteSpace --- a visual analysis --- metronidazole --- porous carbon --- surface modification --- wastewater treatment --- membrane fouling --- molecular composition of foulant --- transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) --- fouling propensities --- waste incineration --- cyclone flue --- gas-solid separation --- numerical simulation --- polysaccharides --- microfiltration process --- calcium ion --- copper adsorption --- magnetized pine needle biochar --- isotherms --- FTIR and XRD studies --- VLE --- CO2 capture --- amine --- DEA-12-PD --- 12-HEPP --- porosity properties --- adsorption capacity --- carbon dioxide storage --- melamine Schiff bases --- surface area --- energy --- antimony --- mineral processing --- potentially toxic elements --- pollution characteristics --- solid waste --- cleaner production --- electronic waste --- recycling --- waste printed circuit boards --- waste EAF slag --- magnesium silicate hydrate --- radioactive waste --- stabilization/solidification --- strontium --- leaching --- membrane technologies --- biofouling --- composite membranes --- polymer blending --- wastewater treatment plants --- environmental costs --- PID control --- dynamic assessment of performance --- heavy metals --- hybrid materials --- functionalized --- Schiff base --- lead --- Langmuir and Freundlich --- carbon capture and storage (CCS) --- offshore gas field --- techno-economic analysis --- calcium oxide nanoparticles --- calcination --- blended cement paste --- mix design --- compressive strength --- bulk density --- transition metal dichalcogenides --- liquid exfoliation --- quenching --- waste collection route planning --- traveling salesman problem --- genetic algorithms --- steelmaking --- bentonite --- solid waste management --- sustainable materials --- biomass --- characterization --- lignocellulosic --- bioenergy --- water treatment --- nanomaterials --- functionalization --- lime --- mineral nitrogen --- soil pH --- organic carbon --- microbial biomass --- N2O --- batch pyrolysis --- business model --- South Africa --- waste tyres --- circular economy --- environmental sustainability --- mollusk shell --- porous concrete --- construction --- algal biomass --- gasification --- activation energy distribution --- household solid waste --- metal recovery value --- socio-economic benefits --- waste composition of Karachi-Pakistan --- waste management --- waste recycling --- ash-free coal --- CO2 gasification --- coal structure --- tri-high coal --- nanoparticles --- ZnO --- equilibrium --- kinetic --- thermodynamic --- phosphate --- aqueous solution --- sustainable synthetic slag production --- energy recovery --- metal spheres --- fixed bed regenerator --- waste and energy nexus --- antibiotics --- competitive sorption --- retention/release --- sorbents --- surface-flow constructed wetland --- nitrogen load --- nitrate --- ammonium --- organic nitrogen --- hydraulic load --- hydraulic residence time --- temperature --- denitrification --- biological uptake --- n/a
