Integrated Waste Management

Abstract

Management of industrial waste in the period of ever-growing industrialization is one of the greatest challenges against researchers and policymakers owing to the adverse effect of unmanaged waste on the environment and the ecosystem. Gaseous emission from industries is often correlated with global warming, whereas solid and liquid hazardous waste produced by industries causes water and soil pollution. This chapter focuses on the multifaceted field of industrial waste management, emphasizing the role of chemistry in repurposing hazardous waste substances for numerous applications such as catalysis. Types of industrial waste and their disposal methods are discussed. It further examines chemical transformations frequently employed in waste treatment processes and highlights select reports from the literature with potential real-world applications in chemical waste treatment. Overall, the chapter aims to provide general information about industrial waste and specific details regarding the repurposing of hazardous waste as a potential future trend in chemical waste management.
