Descripción

Waste Derived Catalysts: Sustainable Materials for Energy and Environment explores the significant potential of waste materials as catalyst precursors for clean energy generation and environmental remediation. The book simultaneously addresses the problems of waste management, resource depletion, and environmental pollution while promoting the transition towards a sustainable and cleaner energy future. It provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, methodologies, and applications of waste derived catalysts in the fields of energy and environment and as such it serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, policymakers, and students who are interested in exploring the potential of waste materials as catalyst precursors and their implications in sustainable energy conversion and environmental remediation. The book covers a wide range of waste streams, including agricultural and biomass waste, industrial and municipal waste, and electronic waste, shedding light on their conversion into catalysts through appropriate processing techniques. Furthermore, the book investigates various clean energy technologies, such as hydrogen production, fuel cells, carbon capture and utilization, and renewable fuel synthesis, where waste derived catalysts have shown promise.
