    Governance of Radioactive Waste, Special Waste and Carbon Storage : Literacy in Dealing with Long-term Controversial Sociotechnical Issues (2023)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Environment. ; Environmental engineering. ; Biotechnology. ; Bioremediation. ; Environmental management. ; Educational sociology. ; Refuse and refuse disposal. ; Environmental Law. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology. ; Environmental Management. ; Sociology of Education. ; Waste Management/Waste Technology. ; Environmental Law.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Introduction: Setting the Problem(s) -- Chapter 2. Chapter 2. Integrative Technology Assessment – Proposal for a Framework -- Chapter 3. Goals – Need, Rules and Procedures -- Chapter 4. Risk Characteristics and Evolution of (Risk and Safety) Concepts -- Chapter 5. Systems, Governance and Institutions -- Chapter 6. Strategic Monitoring -- Chapter 7. Conclusions and Outlook -- Book backmatter.
    Abstract: This book demonstrates that the long-term safety of nuclear waste repositories, special waste disposal and carbon storage (CCS) is highly challenging and monitoring may contribute to substantiate evidence, support decision making and legitimise the programme. Deep geological disposal is a long-term safety issue and, in parallel, requires long-term institutional involvement of the technoscientific community, waste producers, public administrators, NGOs and the public. What, where and when to monitor is determined by its goal setting: It may be operational, confirmatory (in the near field) or environmental (far field). Strategic monitoring as proposed here contributes to process, implementation or policy and institutional surveillance. It not only addresses the controversial long-lasting “problem” (of nuclear, other toxic or CO2 waste) but investigates some ways to approach for “solutions” or solution spaces – not just technical but also institutional, societal and personal. It includes the tailored transfer of knowledge, concept and system understanding, experience and documentation to specific audiences above. It is an integrative tool of targeted yet adaptive management and may be applicable to other long-term sociotechnical fields.

    Keywords: Refuse and refuse disposal. ; Environmental engineering. ; Biotechnology. ; Bioremediation. ; Water. ; Hydrology. ; Biogeography. ; Mining engineering. ; Waste Management/Waste Technology. ; Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology. ; Water. ; Biogeosciences. ; Mining and Exploration.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Introduction and Weathering -- 2. Dimensions of Global Mining Waste Generation and Water Use -- 3. Toward a Sustainable Metals Extraction Technology -- 4. Waste Management: A brief history and the present state -- 5. Constructed wetlands and the ecology of extreme ecosystems -- 6. Ecological Engineering Tools in Extreme Ecosystems -- 7. Biological Polishing Tool: Element Removal in the Water Column -- 8. The biofilm generation tool and sulphate oxidation -- 9. R&D Field Applications -- 10. The Way forward.
    Abstract: The book reviews past and present mine waste management processes. It estimates global water consumption by major mining resources per annum. This consumption will lead land use resources (agriculture and water) to collide with mining interests expected in the near future. With the application of novel metal extraction processes and the adoption of ecological engineering as an approach to waste and water management, a reduction in water and land consumption can be achieved. Using these methodologies would make mining more sustainable. Together with ore and metal recycling, mining methods can be brought into the 21st century. The book describes natural weathering processes and the microbiology of extreme environments, also known as mine sites. The role of microbes in weathering and remediation is emphasized, along with case studies of the enhancement of various ecological processes which curtail weathering and transform pollutants, creating ore bodies of the future. This book has been written as an extension to a contribution to the Oxford Research Encyclopedia. It adds depth and many examples from 40 years of multidisciplinary work with experts from geology, hydrogeology, geomicrobiology and algal physiology and chemistry, items too extensive for the Encyclopedia.

    Abstract: This volume discusses the nutraceutical importance, production technologies, management and cultivation practices of underutilized vegetables, which can be described as those vegetable crops which are neither grown commercially on a large scale nor traded widely. While much of the crops addressed in the book are cultivated, traded and consumed at the local level, there are over 60 species of minor vegetables with high growth and yield potentials that are not cultivated to a large extent for greater populations. This work highlights the production technologies needed to grow these vegetables on a larger scale and under various adverse soil and climatic conditions, and their nutritional and medical benefits to assist with food security, health and poverty alleviation in rural areas. Production of underutilized vegetables is low, due to the unavailability of planting material, lack of awareness about the nutritional and medicinal importance among the farmers and inadequate information on the production techniques of these crops. In this context, there is an urgent need to take up a program on genetic resources exploration, management, utilization, and improvement of underutilized vegetable crops to ensure food and nutritional security. Readers will learn about these technologies and practices, while also learning about the unique properties and benefits of these underutilized vegetables. The book will be useful for academicians and researchers focusing on vegetable production and breeding, as well as farmers and sustainability scientists looking for underexplored sources of nutrition to benefit large rural populations.

    Genomics of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Industrial Waste Water Treatment (2023)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Refuse and refuse disposal. ; Environment. ; Water. ; Hydrology. ; Environmental engineering. ; Biotechnology. ; Bioremediation. ; Environmental chemistry. ; Waste Management/Waste Technology. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Water. ; Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology. ; Environmental Chemistry.
    Description / Table of Contents: Characterization methods for microbial communities present in contaminated soils -- Antibiotic Resistance Genes as contaminants in Industrial Waste Water Treatment -- Bacteriophages: A strategy to combat antibiotic resistance in waste water treatment plants -- The emergence of Waste Water Treatment Plant as a leading source for dissemination of Antibiotic-Resistant Gene -- Increasing Prevalence of Antibiotic-resistant genes in industrial wastewater: impact on public health -- Antibiotic resistance genes as emerging contaminants in industrial waste water treatment -- Characterization and Dynamic Shift of Microbial Communities in wastewater treatment plant.
    Abstract: This book discusses the key problems and solutions with various applicable approaches to combat antibiotic-resistant genes in industrial waste water. Several genes are selected within the chapters to illustrate the past and future roles of molecular ecophysiology and genomics in the development of wastewater microbiology as an important subdiscipline of microbial ecology. As we have very limited knowledge of composition, dynamics and stability of microbial communities, various processes in wastewater treatment have been generally considered to be "black box." In recent years, with the development of several new high throughput sequencing platforms, metagenome sequencing strategies and bioinformatics toolboxes, the analysis of the genome of complex communities has become much more accessible and means easier. The opening of the biological wastewater treatment “black box” is not the unpleasant experience it was before. The viable, but not cultural, ceases to be the inconsequential, uncharacterizable enigma that existed today. Metagenomics leads the way for more specific studies in related fields. Finally, genomic studies of wastewater treatment microbes, in addition to their biotechnological applications, are also an excellent testing ground for variety of other ecological and environmental burns questions. Wastewater treatment plants are considered hotspots for the environmental dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant determinants. Comparative genomics of antibiotic resistant genes isolated from conventional activated sludge and biological aerated filter wastewater treatment plants is discussed.
