Minerals and Waste
In the field of waste disposal, recovery, and recycling, industrial residues from ceramic and mining activities are just an assemblage of minerals. So is municipal waste, after removing the organic part in incinerators or after long-time disposal. In almost every case, a natural counterpart is present. Applying what is known from natural systems on waste assemblages is the key to predicting their fate, at a short and long time, and suggesting the best for high-temperature recycling. This book aims to bring the Earth Science community to the edge of waste management, offering background information, the basics of high and low-temperature geochemistry involved, and an overview of waste investigation connected to minerals. This book also addresses mineral tailings, incinerator bottom, fly ashes, metal slags, ceramic industry residue, and eventually sanitary issues. The primary readership will be graduate students and professionals in geological and environmental fields.
Neighbourhoods in Transition
This open access book is focused on the intersection between urban brownfields and the sustainability transitions of metreopolitan areas, cities and neighbourhoods. It provides both a theoretical and practical approach to the topic, offering a thorough introduction to urban brownfields and regeneration projects as well as an operational monitoring tool. Neighbourhoods in Transition begins with an overview of historic urban development and strategic areas in the hearts of towns to be developed. It then defines several key issues related to the topic, including urban brownfields, regeneration projects, and sustainability issues related to neighbourhood development. The second part of this book...
Orchestrating Local Climate Policy in the European Union
Can we sidestep tedious climate policy negotiations and forge a coalition of the willing instead? Many international organizations and scholars hope to spur local climate action by orchestration, indirect and voluntary governance arrangements. Lena Bendlin looks beyond the apparent success of voluntary initiatives using the example of the Covenant of Mayors, often heralded as an exemplary multi-level EU initiative. Five in-depth case studies show why, how, and with what difficulties local governments engage in this voluntary commitment scheme. The analysis identifies durability, intensity, and causality as crucial building blocks for more cautious orchestration theorizing and derives recommendations for appropriate incentives and support at the regional, national, and international level.
Electricity Decentralization in the European Union
Electricity Decentralization in the European Union: Towards Zero Carbon and Energy Transition, Second Edition examines progress in decentralization across the European Union, with each chapter focusing on developments and innovations in a specific country. Sections provide an overview of the current role and state of smart grids, the conceptualization of energy transition, and specific cases across all EU states. Across the chapters, regulatory frameworks are assessed to identify to what extent it is conducive to decentralization, with specific outcomes of decentralization covered in detail, including deployment of smart grids and meters, demand response, electric vehicles, and storage. The ...
Environmental Soil Remediation and Rehabilitation
This book provides a comprehensive overview of innovative remediation techniques and strategies for soils contaminated by heavy metals or organic compounds (e.g. petroleum hydrocarbons, NAPLs and chlorinated organic compounds). It discusses various novel chemical remediation approaches (in-situ and ex-situ) used alone and in combination with physical and/or thermal treatment. Further, it addresses the recovery of NAPLs, reuse of leaching solutions, and in-situ chemical reduction and oxidation, and explores the chemical enhancement of physical NAPLs recovery from both practical and theoretical perspectives. Also presenting the state-of-the-art in waste-assisted bioremediation to improve soil quality and the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons, the book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and R&D professionals in industry engaged in the treatment of contaminated soils.

Que faire des déchets ménagers ?
Comment organiser la gestion des déchets dans les prochaines années ? Quels sont les conflits entre la population et les décideurs ? Comment les anticiper ? Quels sont les leviers économiques ? Comment intégrer les progrès sanitaires et environnementaux ? Une historienne de l’environnement, un urbaniste, un toxicologue et un ingénieur économiste répondent au questionnement des décideurs. Les techniques de gestion des déchets ménagers et les réglementations sont décrites en France et en Europe du Nord, et les coûts sont évalués et reliés au financement du service par la tarification incitative. Mais la gestion des déchets ménagers renvoie également aux modes de consomma...
Economies d'énergie
De multiples raisons d'ordre économique, climatique ou réglementaire, poussent les agriculteurs à s'engager vers davantage de performance énergétique. Les consommations d'énergies directes (fioul, gaze, électricité...) et indirectes (intrants, aliments, matériels...) constituent une part importante du coût de production en agriculture. Dans un objectif de maîtrise des charges, l'exploitant a donc intérêt à modifier son équipement ou sa méthode de travail. Cette démarche permettra à moyen et long termes d'assurer la pérennité de son exploitation. Mais comment s'y prendre ? L'objectif de ce livre est de rassembler dans un seul ouvrage, l'ensemble des données disponibles sur le sujet. Pour chaque production, sont décrites les caractéristiques des consommations ainsi que les actions pratiques de réduction. De nombreux exemples et témoignages illustrent le propos. Un livre indispensable à tous lés agriculteurs souhaitant maîtriser leur poste énergie.
