  • More about Minerals and Waste

Industrial residues from ceramic and mining activities, as well as municipal waste, have natural counterparts. Applying natural systems knowledge to predict waste fate and suggest the best recycling options is key. This book provides background information, geochemistry basics, and waste investigation for minerals, mineral tailings, incinerator bottom, fly ashes, metal slags, ceramic industry residue, and sanitary issues. It is aimed at graduate students and professionals in geological and environmental fields.

In the realm of waste disposal, recovery, and recycling, industrial residues derived from ceramic and mining activities constitute a diverse array of minerals. Similarly, municipal waste, after undergoing organic removal through incineration or extended disposal, also exhibits a mineral composition. In nearly every instance, a natural counterpart exists. By leveraging knowledge gained from natural systems, it becomes possible to predict the fate of waste assemblages, both in the short and long term, and to propose optimal solutions for high-temperature recycling.

This book serves as a valuable resource for the Earth Science community, providing a comprehensive foundation in waste management. It begins by offering background information and fundamental principles of high and low-temperature geochemistry, which are essential for understanding waste-related processes. Additionally, the book provides an overview of waste investigation, focusing on minerals and their associated challenges. Mineral tailings, incinerator bottom, fly ashes, metal slags, ceramic industry residue, and even sanitary issues are addressed in depth.

The primary target audience of this book consists of graduate students and professionals engaged in geological and environmental fields. It serves as a comprehensive guide, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to address the complex challenges associated with waste management and promote sustainable practices.
