This thesis focuses on the energy, chemical and carbon implications of diverse wastewater treatment alternatives, and offers effective solutions for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to achieve sustainability goals. The author first uses the life cycle philosophy to explore the environmental performance of several representative wastewater treatment systems, and then proposes a refined assessment framework, accompanying analytical toolkit and case study for further quantifying the environmental sustainability of various wastewater management scenarios. Allowing readers to gain a better understanding of the existing wastewater treatment technologies from a sustainability perspective, this book helps decision makers identify promising approaches to the environmentally friendly operation of WWTPs and make infrastructure investments that are appropriate for future changing conditions.
This book provides up to date information on advanced technologies and future directions for management of waste biomass for carbon neutrality and development of circular economy. It addresses critical environmental issues and challenges related to agro-waste management. It provides practical solutions to the readers on how to meet these challenges. Features: Summarizes the application of waste biomass for development of value-added products for sustainable development using green technologies. Provides detailed work on biomass based green technology. Highlights biofuel production with wastewater remediation simultaneously with microbial fuel cell. Offers a substantial contribution for solving the problem of biomass waste which can be used as a feedstock for valuable biofuel and fine chemicals production. Explores different aspects of biological methods and use of nanomaterials for removal of contaminants, recycling, and reusing. The book is aimed to provide wide information to researchers and professionals on state-of-art of biotechnology, circular economy, and waste treatment.
Currently, most of the physical and chemical technologies generally employed for the treatment of wastewater are costly and inefficient. Researchers have been working to find green technologies for the sustainable and economically viable treatment methods for wastewater, and Green Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Bioenergy Production focuses on these latest advancements. These include bioremediation, bioaugmentation, wetlands, and algal treatment technologies, which are considered to contribute toward a circular bioeconomy and to be crucial in attaining various sustainable development goals. Examines the production of biofuels and other forms of bioenergy derived from wastewater. Explains how these emerging green technologies contribute toward a circular bioeconomy and aid in achieving various sustainable development goals.

This edition, comprising a sound recording, transcription, and English translation, provides a record of the Liberation Rite of Water and Land as a resource for the study, analysis, and further exploration of both the Medicine Buddha Sutra and the accompanying liturgical service. The editor created it at the invitation of Fo Guang Shan monastery, and it outlines both the textual and musical elements of the service. Designed as a chantbook, it is intended to be a tool for all those who wish to participate in the vocal elements of the service, from the uninitiated monastery visitor to musical ensembles that might use these musical fragments as inspiration for appropriately staged performances. It is especially conceived for non-Chinese speaking monastics in the Buddhist college and/or those who have experience reading Western musical notation.

The Ben cao gang mu, compiled in the second half of the sixteenth century by a team led by the physician Li Shizhen (1518–1593) on the basis of previously published books and contemporary knowledge, is the largest encyclopedia of natural history in a long tradition of Chinese materia medica works. Its description of almost 1,900 pharmaceutically used natural and man-made substances marks the apex of the development of premodern Chinese pharmaceutical knowledge. The Ben cao gang mu dictionary offers access to this impressive work of 1,600,000 characters. This third book in a three-volume series offers detailed biographical data on all identifiable authors, patients, witnesses of therapies, transmitters of recipes, and further persons mentioned in the Ben cao gang mu and provides bibliographical data on all textual sources resorted to and quoted by Li Shizhen and his collaborators.
