Ionizing Radiation Technologies: Managing and Extracting Value from Wastes

An authoritative overview of major advances in the application of ionizing radiation technologies to industrial, agricultural, and municipal waste products

In Ionizing Radiation Technologies: Managing and Extracting Value from Wastes, a team of expert researchers delivers a broad overview of the value trapped in waste streams and how a strategic application of ionizing radiation technologies can be valuable from both an environmental and an economic perspective. A valuable addition to the discussions around sustainability and green technologies, the book introduces ionizing radiation technologies, including gamma (cobalt-60) irradiation and high and low energy electron beam technologies.

The contributions included explore the major advances taking place in the application of ionizing radiation technologies to derive high value end-products from agricultural, municipal, and industrial wastes. Each chapter reviews original research and data and considers likely future directions in research and development. The book also includes:

• A thorough introduction to the application of ionizing radiation technologies to agricultural waste, including the production of activated carbon
• Comprehensive explorations of the application of ionizing radiation technologies to municipal waste, including municipal solid wastes and recycling wastewater
• Practical discussions of the application of ionizing radiation technologies to industrial waste, including textile wastewater management and polymer recycling
• In-depth examinations of the economics of waste valorization, including several case studies of businesses involved in waste valorization

Perfect for consulting engineers and industry professionals involved in waste management and mitigation, Ionizing Radiation Technologies will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals at government agencies, international food organizations, and NGOs focused on waste management, environment sustainability, and urban planning.

離子輻射技術

一本權威的概述，介紹離子輻射技術在工業、農業和市政廢棄物應用方面的重大進展

在《離子輻射技術：管理和從廢棄物中提取價值》中，一個專家研究團隊提供了廢棄物中價值的廣泛概述，以及如何從環境和經濟的角度戰略應用離子輻射技術的價值。作為可持續發展和綠色技術討論的寶貴補充，本書介紹了離子輻射技術，包括伽馬（鈷-60）照射和高能和低能電子束技術。

所包含的貢獻探討了離子輻射技術在從農業、市政和工業廢棄物中獲得高價值產品方面正在發生的重大進展。每一章節都回顧了原始研究和數據，並考慮了未來研究和開發的可能方向。本書還包括：

- 對將離子輻射技術應用於農業廢棄物的全面介紹，包括活性炭的生產
- 對將離子輻射技術應用於市政廢棄物的全面探索，包括市政固體廢棄物和回收廢水
- 對將離子輻射技術應用於工業廢棄物的實用討論，包括紡織廢水管理和聚合物回收
- 對廢棄物增值經濟學的深入研究，包括幾個從事廢棄物增值業務的案例研究

非常適合從事廢棄物管理和減輕工作的諮詢工程師和行業專業人士， 《離子輻射技術》也將成為政府機構、國際食品組織和專注於廢棄物管理、環境可持續性和城市規劃的非政府組織專業人士的圖書館藏品。
