The book seeks to cover the application of the principles of the circular economy within the context of the processing and waste management industry in sub-Saharan Africa. It includes topics related to the circular economy and the sustainable use of resources in the mining, process industry, and waste management sectors, and examines how some resources from these sectors, currently treated as “waste”, can be converted into secondary resources that can help drive economic development. Features: Describes fundamental environmental and process engineering principles to understand waste valorization technologies. Covers sustainable solid waste management and recovery of resources from solid waste from an African perspective. Provides guidelines for specific approaches to long-term sustainable waste management. Includes alternative waste treatment technologies in order of priority as per the waste hierarchy. Introduces pertinent industry-specific case studies, worked examples, and problems. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental and chemical engineering and waste treatment.
