Overview

Sustainable Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Waste Management addresses all aspects of sustainable use of carbon dioxide in waste management processes and provides best practices and process improvements for carbon sequestration in the management of a variety of waste types, including carbide lime waste, construction waste, and reject brine effluents, amongst others. The book also provides underlying research on the environmental impacts of these wastes and the need for carbon capture to emphasize the importance and need for improvements of these processes. Overall, this information will be key to determining lifecycle benefits of CO2 for each newly improved waste process. This is an important source of information for environmental and sustainability scientists and engineers, as well as academics and researchers in the field who should be trying to achieve increased carbon capture in any form of waste process to reduce environmental impact.

"""The book “Sustainable Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Waste Management” illustrates several options for the sustainable use of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the waste management sector… Overall, the book provides detailed information on CCS methods and CU strategies for the simultaneous management of different waste types and the mitigation of carbon emissions from human activities. The book is directed to a specialized audience, i.e. environmental and sustainability scientists, engineers and academics in the field... the book provides insights into the application of other CCS and CU as well as a comprehensive overview of how these techniques fit in the general framework of waste management and the circular economy."" --Marco Schiavon, Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment (DAFNAE), University of Padova, Italy"

Author Information

Prof. Dr. Eng. Abdel-Mohsen O. Mohamed (known as A.M.O. Mohamed) earned his PhD from McGill University, Canada, where he was later employed as the Associate Director of the Geotechnical Research Centre and Lecturer at the Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics. He has 13 patents in areas of sustainable use of elemental sulfur and alkaline solid wastes, production of sulfur cement and concrete, carbon sequestration and utilization for treatment of solid wastes, and stabilization of sand dunes. He has authored and coauthored 20 scientific books and has published over 290 papers in refereed journals and international conference proceedings. He has been the recipient of several university and nationwide research accolades. He is the General Managing Director of EX Scientific Consultants, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Senior Advisor, Uberbinder, Inc., Seattle, Washington, USA, and an Editorial Board Advisor for number of Scientific Journals. Dr. Maisa M. El Gamal is currently employed by Zayed University as an Assistant Professor in the Environmental Science Department, College of Natural and Health Sciences. She holds a Doctorate degree in Chemical Science from Ta33nta University and a Master in Material Science from Alexandria University. She has worked for 20 years as a researcher with long experience in different areas like CO2 capture and storage, soil stability, sulfur concrete production and solid waste management. More recently, her research activities are focused on the development of novel CO2 adsorbent materials. Her record spans more than 100 publications in high impact journals, international and local conferences, patents, books, and book chapters. She has dedicated the working in these research fields beside her job as a teacher of Chemical and Environmental science and as supervisor to the students in their senior projects at Zayed University Suhaib Hameedi gained his BSc. in chemical engineering from Mutah University-Jordan in 2005. His graduation training was in Jordanian phosphate mines company. He joined industries through chemicals manufacturing application in Jordan until 2010, and water treatment application until 2013 in United Arab Emirates. He earned his MSc. degree in chemical engineering from the United Arab Emirates University in 2016 with a thesis about CO2 capture by steel-making residues. During his masters, he had duties as research assistant in CO2 capture using industrial wastes. In addition, he was a teaching assistant to thermodynamics for a engineering students course. He joined Zayed University (ZU) in 2016 as a Researcher in environmental studies, mainly carbonation of industrial wastes. He participated in local and international conferences through papers, posters and oral presentation. Recently he is a member of the published patent of a new apparatus for carbon sequestration submitted by Prof. AMO Mohamed.
