Economies of Recycling
Author: Catherine Alexander
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 178032197X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
For some, recycling is a big business; for others a moralised way of engaging with the world. But, for many, this is a dangerous way of earning a living. With scrap now being the largest export category from the US to China, the sheer scale of this global trade has not yet been clearly identified or analysed. Combining fine-grained ethnographic analysis with overviews of international material flows, Economies of Recycling radically changes the way we understand global and local economies as well as the new social relations and identities created by recycling processes. Following global material chains, this groundbreaking book reveals astonishing connections between persons, households, cities and global regions as objects are reworked, taken to pieces and traded. With case studies from Africa, Latin America, South Asia, China, the former Soviet Union, North America and Europe, this timely collection debunks common linear understandings of production, exchange and consumption and argues for a complete re-evaluation of North-South economic relationships.

Handbook of Recycling
Author: Ernst Worrell
Publisher: Newnes
ISBN: 0123965063
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 595
Book Description
Winner of the International Solid Waste Association's 2014 Publication Award, Handbook of Recycling is an authoritative review of the current state-of-the-art of recycling, reuse and reclamation processes commonly implemented today and how they interact with one another. The book addresses several material flows, including iron, steel, aluminum and other metals, pulp and paper, plastics, glass, construction materials, industrial by-products, and more. It also details various recycling technologies as well as recovery and collection techniques. To completely round out the picture of recycling, the book considers policy and economic implications, including the impact of recycling on energy use, sustainable development, and the environment. With contemporary recycling literature scattered across disparate, unconnected articles, this book is a crucial aid to students and researchers in a range of disciplines, from materials and environmental science to public policy studies. - Portrays recent and emerging technologies in metal recycling, by-product utilization and management of post-consumer waste - Uses life cycle analysis to show how to reclaim valuable resources from mineral and metallurgical wastes - Uses examples from current professional and industrial practice, with policy and economic implications

WEEE Recycling
Author: Alexandre Chagnes
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128033649
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
WEEE Recycling: Research, Development, and Policies covers policies, research, development, and challenges in recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The book introduces WEEE management and then covers the environmental, economic, and societal applications of e-waste recycling, focusing on the technical challenges to designing efficient and sustainable recycling processes—including physical separation, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical processes. The development of processes for recovering strategic and critical metals from urban mining is a priority for many countries, especially those having few available ores mining. - Describes the two metallurgical processes—hydro- and pyro-metallurgy—and their application in recycling of metals - Provides a life cycle analysis in the WEEE recycling of metals - Outlines how to determine economic parameters in the recycling of waste metals - Discusses the socio economic and environmental implication of metal recycling

Nanomaterials Recycling
Author: Mahendra Rai
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323909833
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
Nanomaterial Recycling provides an update on the many benefits nanomaterials can provide on both environmental and economic issues. Sections cover the appropriate recycling strategies of nanowastes, nanowaste regulations (including nanowaste disposal and recycling standards), promising applications (reuses) of these recycled nanomaterials, and various methods used for the separation of nanoparticles, including (i) centrifugation, (ii)solvent evaporation, (iii) magnetic separation, (iv) using pH/thermal responsive materials, (v) molecular antisolvents, (vi) nanostructured colloidal solvents, and more. This book is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who are seeking to increase their understanding of nanomaterials, recycling processes and techniques. As nanomaterials can be recycled from both new/pure products (from nano manufacturing) and used products (nano waste: waste from nano integrated products), this book is a welcomed addition to many disciplines. - Provides information on how nanoscale recycling techniques can mitigate the most hazardous effects of nanomaterials - Explains the major recycling processes and techniques used for nanoscale materials - Assesses the major challenges of implementing nanoscale recycling approaches in a scalable and cost-effective manner
