In the field of waste disposal, recovery, and recycling, industrial residues from ceramic and mining activities are just an assemblage of minerals. So is municipal waste, after removing the organic part in incinerators or after long-time disposal. In almost every case, a natural counterpart is present. Applying what is known from natural systems on waste assemblages is the key to predicting their fate, at a short and long time, and suggesting the best for high-temperature recycling.
This book aims to bring the Earth Science community to the edge of waste management, offering background information, the basics of high and low-temperature geochemistry involved, and an overview of waste investigation connected to minerals. This book also addresses mineral tailings, incinerator bottom, fly ashes, metal slags, ceramic industry residue, and eventually sanitary issues.
The primary readership will be graduate students and professionals in geological and environmental fields.
“This book is highly recommended because of the editors’ background and deep knowledge. … This book … is fascinating and lives up to readers’ expectations in terms of writing quality and clarity in discussing minerals and waste. … The primary strength of this book lies in its chapters, authored by researchers with extensive experience, ensuring that they are up-to-date reviews that integrate the latest research.” (Hilarius Donatus Hun, Hawinda Restu Putri and Riris Sukowati, International Geology Review, July 20, 2024)
