Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The peer-reviewed contents cover the subjects of environmental chemistry and biology, environmental materials, environmental safety and health, environmental planning and assessment, environmental analysis and monitoring, environmental engineering, pollution control (air, water, solid), waste disposal and recycling, water supply and drainage engineering, noise and vibration control, clean production processes, hydrology and water resources engineering, soil and water conservation and desertification control, environmental protection, plant protection, and land resources environment and urban planning. This extensive coverage makes the work a veritable handbook.

Description: The MEPEA 2011 Conference focused on various aspects of advances in Materials for Environmental Protection and Energy Applications. Being crucial to the development of environmental protection and energy applications, the peer-reviewed papers encompassed a wide range of research topics and applications. From energy engineering to energy materials and materials for energy storage, from environmental engineering to the mechanics of materials and materials for environmental protection, from biological engineering to biological materials; these and other related topics are included within the compass of this conference.

The main focus of this collection of peer-reviewed articles is three different aspects of biohydrometallurgy: this is the field of microbial ecology which is the key to answering central questions concerning not only the diversity and behavior of micro-organisms in commercial operations, but also possible applications in biohydrometallurgy of extremophiles coming from very different environments. This covers metal recovery bioprocesses, including basic and applied studies of bioleaching and bio-oxidation; but also bioflotation. A large part of the book is given over to interfacial studies which contribute to the understanding of the interaction between surfaces and micro-organisms during those processes. Also covered are the remediation of mining activities and environmental protection as related to mining and mining industries.

Description: In recent years, Air Quality Management has become of major importance, especially in megacities, i.e. those with more than 10 million inhabitants. The present publication provides scientists and engineers working in this area with the most recent results touching all major aspects of this highly important field.
