Description

The concept of a circular economy has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. Many of the sources of chemicals we have become reliant on are dwindling and the accumulation of waste products poses a serious environmental problem. By recovering resources from these waste materials, we can reduce our dependence on virgin feedstocks that may not be sustainable as well as reducing the quantity of material going to landfill sites. Incorporating different perspectives from a global authorship, this book aims to introduce systems thinking to the field of waste and resource management. The topics covered range from the use of biogeochemical processes in resource recovery to the application of engineered nanomaterials, with information relevant to both academia and industry. The broad range and cross-disciplinary nature of the topics in this book make it a valuable resource for those working in circular economy research, green chemistry and waste and resource management.

Author Biography:

Lynne Macaskie trained in Microbiology and Biochemistry (BSc PhD University of London). She had PDRA positions at Universities of Cambrodge and Oxford working on biodeterioration and then metal microbe interactions and took a faculty position at U. Oxford in 1985 to develop a process for waste bio-cleanup, including nuclear waste. She was appointed lecturer at Univ. Birmingham in 1991 where her interests expanded into process engineering, inorganic chemistry of nanoparticles and nanotechnology, as well as waste treatment and the circular economy. She has over 250 publications/patents as well as substantial research income (multi-million) from BBSRC, EPSRC, NERC, EU and the Royal Society, from whom she was awarded an Industrial Fellowship and the Brain Mercer Senior Award for Innovation.
