SRM University-AP is proud to announce that Dr Pankaj Pathak, Assistant Professor, The Department of Environmental Science, has edited a book titled, “Urban Mining for Waste Management and Resource Recovery: Sustainable Approaches” published by Routledge Publications. In an era of climate and global ecological crisis, our researcher has stepped up to promote sustainable environmental solutions.
About the Book:
Scientific management strategies can help in exploring anthropogenic wastes (human-made materials) as potential resources through the urban mining concept and be a panacea for sustainable development. This book covers five broader aspects of waste management and resource recovery in urban mining, including solid and liquid waste management and treatment. It explains sustainable urban mining approaches for the effective management of solid and liquid wastes and facilitates their conversion into secondary resources. Overall, this book provides details of urban mining and its different applications, including current waste management problems, practices, and challenges worldwide.
