Royal Society Of Chemistry Biomass For Sustainable Applications Pollution Remediation And Energy by Sarra Gaspard and Mohamed Chaker Ncibi
Sustainable sources of energy and a supply of good quality water are two major challenges facing modern societies across the globe. Biomass from cultivated plants may be used to generate energy, but at the cost of contaminated surface waters from pesticide and fertiliser use.
This two-volume set examines the potential use of biomass as both a source of sustainable energy and a resource to tackle contaminated soils and wastewaters.
