Circular Economy and Sustainable Management : Coal and Bio-Coal Fly Ash

Abstract

This book summarizes both conventional and emerging waste management approaches for fly ash, particularly with a focus on sustainability dimension – including its applicability, scope, methods, and challenges of bio-coal production. It covers the sustainability aspects of fly ash management and recent developments in methods, processes, and scope of bio-coal production as an alternative to conventional coal along with its implications for industrial ecosystems. It focuses on climate change, sustainability, and circular economy aspects of fly ash management approaches. Comprehensively covers all the dimensions related to coal and bio-coal fly ash and circular economy associated with it Discusses cradle-to-grave technology for bio-coal Emphasizes the efficient, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable use of coal and bio-coal fly ash Explores renewable fuel solutions and circular economy associated with it Encourages the use of bio-coal for boosting sustainability and circular economy This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental and civil engineering, as well as those working in clean technologies.
