Preface
Rapid urbanization and incessant industrialization are causing major concerns for
global development. In one way, conventional natural resources are depleting at a
faster rate and in another way, huge amounts of solid and liquid wastes are being
generated. This is posing several environmental, economic, and social threats to
sustainable development. These threats are significant and alarming in developing
countries due to the mismanagement of resources and improper waste process-
ing practices. The major challenge occurs when solid and liquid wastes are not
handled properly during collection, processing, and disposal, which causes dete-
rioration of environmental quality and impairment to human health. However,
with appropriate (scientific) management strategies, these anthropogenic wastes
(human-made materials) can be explored as potential resources through the urban
mining concept and could be a panacea for sustainable development.
In this book, Chapter 1 introduces the basics of urban mining and Chapter 2
describes GIS applications in solid waste management. Chapters 3 and 4 explore
energy from food waste and biochar production. Moreover, Chapter 5 provides
ideas for handling biomedical waste. Chapters 6 and 7 describe recycling tech-
niques of plastics and reclamation of asphalt pavement materials. Chapter 8 pres-
ents details of resource recovery from agro-waste. Additionally, Chapters 9–12
explain the treatment of wastewater and resource recovery from municipal and
industrial wastewater, whereas Chapters 13 and 14 describe advanced methods of
resource recovery from wastewater.

Editors
Dr. Pankaj Pathak is an Assistant Professor at SRM University, Andhra Pradesh,
India, with a keen interest in sustainable waste management, green energy
resources, and geochemistry, including sustainable handling of hazardous waste
and associated environmental impacts. She has been involved in various research
projects viz., waste to resource, nuclear waste management and characterization
of buffer materials, and e-waste management. She has also gained research expe-
rience in dealing with hazardous solid and liquid waste treatment technology,
along with hydrometallurgical recovery of metals from waste streams, their safe
disposal, and remediation techniques.
Dr. Prangya Ranjan Rout is presently serving as an Assistant Professor in the
Department of Biotechnology, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology,
Patiala, Punjab, India. He also worked as a researcher at INHA University,
Incheon, Republic of Korea from 2018–2020. He holds an MTech degree in bio-
technology and a PhD in environmental engineering. His research interest lies
in the domain of anaerobic digestion, bioconversion of wastes to wealth, emerg-
ing contaminant removal, membrane technology, resource recovery and reuse,
and wastewater treatment. He has authored over 50 publications, including ref-
ereed journal articles, book chapters, national and international conference pre-
sentations, technical notes, and a published patent. Some of the awards he has
received include the Odisha Young Scientist Award 2017, Best Practice Oriented
Paper 2019 from ASCE-EWRI, and Outstanding Reviewer 2019 from ASCE. He
is an Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive
Wastes and has served as a guest editor of a special issue of the journal. He is
also actively involved in editing contributed book volumes for internationally
renowned publishers, such as CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, John Wiley & Sons,
and ASCE.
