Metallurgical Slags Environmental Geochemistry and Resource Potential Nadine M. Piatak United States Geological Survey, USA | Vojtěch Ettler Charles University, Czech Republic Metallurgical slags are generated as a by-product of smelting during ironmaking, steelmaking, and the production of ferroalloys and non-ferrous metals. The formation conditions result in complex chemical and mineralogical characteristics unique to slags alone. Historically slags have been discarded as a waste product and, through release of potentially toxic trace elements, represent a hazard to the environment and human health. However, increasingly we are realizing the resource potential of what was previously thought of as waste, thus reducing the environmental impact and taking a step closer to a circular economy. This book is a definitive reference on the environmental geochemistry and resource potential of metallurgical slags Persulfate-based Oxidation Processes in Environmental Remediation Mingshan Zhu Jinan University, China | Zhenfeng Bian Shanghai Normal University, China | Chun Zhao Chongqing University, China Persulfates are strong oxidants with flexible in situ activation characteristics which allow them to generate sulfate radicals as well as other reactive species. These reactive species, especially the sulfate radicals, can degrade most organic pollutants making them valuable in a number of environmental applications. Describing recent developments in persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) this book aims to provide a summary of environmental applications for persulfate-based AOPs and to guide the reader, in a comprehensive way, through various advanced oxidation processes in environmental applications. Topics include new activation methods, activation mechanisms, and advanced materials to for use in activating persulfate- based AOPs in different environmental applications.

About the series ISSN 2044-0774 Series editors Nigel Brandon Imperial College London, UK | Roberto Rinaldi Imperial College London, UK | Vivian Yam The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Energy lies at the heart of modern society, and it is critical that we make informed choices of the methods by which we convert and manage energy. This series provides up-to-date and critical perspectives on the various options that are available. The wide range of topics covered reflects the wealth of chemical ideas and concepts that have the potential to make an important impact in the search for sustainable energy. Books in this series form important references for chemists and material scientists, chemical and process engineers, energy researchers, bio-scientists and environmental scientists from across academia, industry and Government. Capacitive Deionization Xingtao Xu Hohai University, China | Likun Pan East China Normal University, China The exploration of new-family desalination techniques has become increasingly important in recent decades. Capacitive deionization (CDI) desalts saline water through storing ions in electrical double layers of porous carbons, and is a promising alternative to commercial desalination techniques. This book showcases the fundamentals and progressive achievements of CDI over the years. Chapters cover theoretical models, the expansion of new-family electrode materials, exploitation of new-concept CDI devices, and applications of CDI in new areas. Written by leaders in the field, Capacitive Deionization will be of interest to those interested in water desalination and purification, working across materials science, chemistry, and environmental science. Chemistry in the Context of Power-to-X Robin J White Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, The Netherlands | Marta Costa Figueiredo Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands The concept of Power-to-X represents a number of emerging technological concepts which integrate the powering of chemical production processes from a renewable energy source to provide sustainable, energy-based routes to platformmolecules, fuels, and materials. In the first book to address this topic, readers are introduced to the concepts, challenges, steps forward, and necessity for integration of the energy and chemistry sectors. The book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in renewable energy, catalysis, chemical engineering, and chemistry.
