Amsterdam University Press Beijing Garbage: A City Besieged by Waste
Book SynopsisWhy do central and local government initiatives aiming to curb the proliferation of garbage in Beijing and its disposal continue to be unsuccessful? Is the Uberization of waste picking through online-to-offline (O2O) garbage retrieval companies able to decrease waste and improve the lives of waste pickers? Most citizens of Beijing are well aware of the fact that their city is besieged by waste. Yet instead of taking individual action, they sit and wait for the governments at various levels to tell them what to do. And even if/when they adopt a proactive position, this does not last. Official education drives targeting the consumers are organized regularly and with modest success, but real solutions are not forthcoming. Various environmental non-governmental organizations are at work to raise the level of consciousness of the population, to change individual attitudes towards wasteful behavior, but seemingly with little overall effects.Trade Review"The book is a timely publication, with many valuable lessons. For anyone interested in China’s environmental governance, this publication is highly recommended."- Jingfang Liu, Fudan University, The China Journal, Issue 87 (2022) "Beijing Garbage is arguably one among the very first academic publications about China’s waste that examine the emergence of the O2O business model in waste trade, which is a rather recent phenomenon. The book not only lays out the organisational features of this new model of trade, but has gone further to interrogate how the model is being perceived by the end users (a.k.a., urban residents).

Springer Verlag, Singapore Integrated Treatment Technology of Rural Domestic
Book SynopsisThis open access book provides integrated treatment technology of rural domestic sewage, and highlights ten typical cases in China. The integrated sewage treatment system (ISTE) combine sewage pretreatment, biological treatment, sedimentation, and disinfection, which particularly suitable for decentralized domestic wastewater treatment in rural areas without pipe networks. The main advantages of ISTE include the compact structure, small footprint, short construction period, high treatment efficiency, and economical rationality. First applied in Japan, ISTE has recently achieved rapid growth in China in the last decade. The relevant technological R&D, practice, and promotion experience accumulated by Chinese enterprises can offer significant reference to other developing countries and regions.The book consists of five chapters. The first chapter introduces characteristics, environmental risks and management styles of rural domestic sewage. The second chapter illustrates the collection and treatment approaches for rural domestic sewage.The third chapter presents the integrated sewage treatment process of high efficiency. The fourth chapter involves the design concept, manufacturing requirements, automatic control, and the cloud management system for ISTE. Chapter five covers ten typical application cases of ISTE in multiple regions of China. This book is suitable for graduate students, engineers, university teachers and government administrators engaged in decentralized sewage treatment.Table of ContentsCharacteristic and Management of Domestic sewage in Rural Areas.- Overview of Rural Domestic sewage Treatment Technology.- Integrated Treatment Technology for Domestic sewage in Rural Areas.- Integrated Rural Domestic sewage Treatment Equipment.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Organic Modification of Natural Clay Minerals and
Book SynopsisThis book mainly investigates the adsorption of anionic diclofenac sodium on natural clay minerals, the adsorption of anionic chloramphenicol on natural clay minerals and the behavior of surface and interface modification or adsorption on clay minerals. It has significant guidance for learning the transfer and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the soil. It develops an efficient, low-cost adsorbent material and provides theoretical basis and valuable reference for the effective prevention of groundwater contamination of PPCPs in the field of environmental engineering.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Adsorption of anionic antibiotics by CTAB modified natural clay minerals.- Study on the adsorption of anionic antibiotics on natural clay minerals modified by ionic liquids.- Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Adsorption of Anionic Antibiotics on Organic Modified Natural Clay Minerals.- Dynamic adsorption experiment of modified zeolite and montmorillonite.- Conclusion.
