Engineering and Technical Development for a Sustainable Environment

Engineering and Technical Development for a Sustainable Environment covers a diverse array of alternative technologies and their development with particular attention to the utilization of bioresources for the achievement of a sustainable environment. The book presents a selection of alternative technologies being used in developing and developed countries that can be indigenous to the region, cost-effective, and often driven by societal interest and geographical status. Several engineering and technological processes are included to mark their importance in product performance and preservation of the environment.

The book presents a selection of alternative technologies being used in developing and developed countries that can be indigenous to the region, cost-effective, and often driven by societal interest and geographical status. Several engineering and technological processes are included to mark their importance in product performance and preservation of the environment.

The book presents several selected case studies of engineering and technological processes in industries that relate to the utilization of bioresources and green engineering practices for higher product performance and efficient processes. Specific examples are reverse engineering for product reformulation, bioresources for biofuel production, novel cyclic thiourea for corrosion inhibition, and green mechanical processes and techniques.

Refreshing and informative, Engineering and Technical Development for a Sustainable Environment revisits conventional approaches of managing natural agents (such as wind, rain and groundwater resources as well as wastewater treatment) in light of current sustainable-oriented techniques using modern scientific concepts and strategies. It presents in-depth evaluations and analyses using systematic up-to-date scientific and engineering tools.
