Features: This book introduces new technologies and methods for the recycling and reuse of industrial waste in the United States. Among these recycling technologies, thermal engineering techniques primarily include energy recovery and utilization (cement kilns), vitrification, distillation, thermal desorption, thermal decomposition, evaporation, pyrometallurgy, mercury heating, and pyrolysis. Techniques related to engineering physics and soft chemistry include: decanting, solvent extraction, freezing crystallization, electrometallurgy, explosive extraction, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, reverse osmosis, amalgamation, physical separation, purification, and disassembly. The book consists of five chapters: Introduction, Compilation of Technologies and Applications, Description of Recycling Technologies, Product Quality Specifications, and Case Studies. It focuses on introducing various waste sources, morphological characteristics, chemical composition and physicochemical properties, available treatment methods, recycling processes, techno-economic analysis and management, ecological and social benefits, and sustainable development strategies. The book provides a systematic and comprehensive elaboration from fundamental theories to methodological techniques, combining theoretical knowledge with practical application guidance. It offers significant benefits for guiding the development of China's resource and environmental industry and fostering the incubation of new ecological material science. This book is suitable for engineering technicians in resource and environmental engineering, material science, and other related fields.
