Dealing with Contaminated Sites
This standard work on contaminated site management covers the whole chain of steps involved in dealing with contaminated sites, from site investigation to remediation. An important focus throughout the book is on Risk Assessment. In addition, the book includes chapters on characterisation of natural and urban soils, bioavailability, natural attenuation, policy and stakeholder viewpoints and Brownfields. Typically, the book includes in-depth theories on soil contamination, along with offering possibilities for practical applications. More than sixty of the world’s top experts from Europe, the USA, Australia and Canada have contributed to this book. The twenty-five chapters in this book offer relevant information for experienced scientists, students, consultants and regulators, as well as for ‘new players’ in contaminated site management
Assessment and Governance of Sustainable Soil Management
The role of soils for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is multifarious. Soils are the essential basis for food and biomass provision in support of food security (SDG 2) and energy security (SDG 7). Soil carbon sequestration is paramount for climate action (SDG 13). Soil-mediated water purification and retention, nutrient and matter cycling, and soils habitat functions are essential for maintaining ecosystem services and biodiversity (SDG 15). Healthy soils perform well in all these functions simultaneously. However, the globally increasing demand for food, fiber, and bio-based products poses massive challenges to soil health. Minimizing trade-offs between biomass production and so...
Process Systems Engineering for Biofuels Development
A comprehensive overview of current developments and applications in biofuels production Process Systems Engineering for Biofuels Development brings together the latest and most cutting-edge research on the production of biofuels. As the first book specifically devoted to process systems engineering for the production of biofuels, Process Systems Engineering for Biofuels Development covers theoretical, computational and experimental issues in biofuels process engineering.

Geochemische bodematlas van Nederland
Deze Geochemische bodematlas geeft een uniek overzicht van de chemische samenstelling van de bodem in Nederland. Bodemmonsters van meer dan 350 locaties zijn geanalyseerd op meer dan 40 chemische elementen. De atlas geeft niet alleen informatie over de door de mens beïnvloede toplaag van de bodem, maar ook over de dieper gelegen C-horizont die nog niet of nauwelijks door de mens is beïnvloed. De lijst van elementen omvat uiteraard bekende metalen als cadmium, koper en lood en relevante meststoffen als fosfor en kalium. Daarnaast geeft de atlas ook inzicht in gehalten van elementen waarvan minder bekend is, zoals thallium, uranium en lithium. Totaalgehalten alleen geven onvoldoende inzicht ...
Recarbonizing global soils – A technical manual of recommended sustainable soil management
During the last decades, soil organic carbon (SOC) attracted the attention of a much wider array of specialists beyond agriculture and soil science, as it was proven to be one of the most crucial components of the earth’s climate system, which has a great potential to be managed by humans. Soils as a carbon pool are one of the key factors in several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 15, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” with the SOC stock being explicitly cited in Indicator 15.3.1. This technical manual is the first ...

Biorefinery of Inorganics
Provides complete coverage of the recovery of mineral nutrients from biomass and organic waste This book presents a comprehensive overview of the potential for mineral recovery from wastes, addressing technological issues as well as economic, ecological, and agronomic full-scale field assessments. It serves as a complete reference work for experts in the field and provides teaching material for future experts specializing in environmental technology sectors. Biorefinery of Inorganics: Recovering Mineral Nutrients from Biomass and Organic Waste starts by explaining the concept of using anaerobic digestion as a biorefinery for production of an energy carrier in addition to mineral secondary re...
RAMIRAN 2023: Managing Organic Resources in a Changing Environment
This Research Topic of Frontiers Waste Management in Agroecosystems will highlight original contributions to the 18th International RAMIRAN conference held in Cambridge, UK, in September 2023. The conference will focus on developing strategies to maximise the efficiency of organic materials against a background of changing regulation, policy and market forces and increasing pressure on the environment, soil quality and food production. Submissions are invited for papers which address one or more of the conference themes: policy and regulation, nutrient utilisation, soil quality, air and water quality, treatment and processing technologies, and promoting best practice.
