This book focuses on the present and future trends, technologies, as well as regulations for the reuse and recycling of technological waste globally from the perspective of environmental, social, and economic elements of the different connected systems. It also analyses specific technological waste producing materials and product streams in-depth and investigates the future of technological waste and its management considering better end-of-lifecycle designs, legislation, and sustainability perspectives.

Key Features:

- Provides comprehensive review of beneficiation and management of technological waste

- Discusses sustainability in waste management and beneficiation

- Covers current practices, solutions, policies, and laws governing the existing supply of discarded or wasted technological products and by-products

- Reviews material centric waste disposal and beneficiation Includes case studies from industry on technological waste generation and handling

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials science and engineering, extractive metallurgy, sustainable and environmental engineering.

Über Autor(innen)

Anurag Bajpai is an Alexander-von-Humboldt postdoctoral fellow at Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH in Düsseldorf, Germany. His expertise lies at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Materials Science, where he employs cutting-edge techniques to advance the field of material design and development of sustainable advanced alloys. A significant portion of his research also revolves around the sustainable beneficiation and utilization of electronic waste to develop advanced materials such as metallic catalysts, carbon nanomaterials and recovery of valuable rare earth metals.

Krishanu Biswas is currently working as Ranjit Singh Chair Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of IIT Kanpur. Biswas has made significant contribution towards understanding of the several important scientific and technological aspects of metallurgy and materials engineering. The research work performed by him ranges from development of complex concentrated high entropy alloys, understanding the solidification behaviour of complex concentrated alloys, novel processing of ceramic composites, understanding the alloying behaviour at nanoscale, development of bulk alloy catalysis for hydrogen energy and environment. His recent research activities involve research on nanocrystalline high entropy alloys (HEAs), sintering of nanomaterials, ionic nanoparticles, graphene etc.

Anurabh Meshram is presently serving as Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He was awarded his PhD in Metallurgical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India in 2019. His broad area of interest lies in the Non-Ferrous Extractive Metallurgy and Materials Recycling. He has published 19 articles as author and co-author in reputed journals, including 6 reviews articles. The publications have H-index and i-10 index of 12 and 14, respectively, with a total of 570 citations.
