Sustainable Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Waste Management addresses all aspects of sustainable use of carbon dioxide in waste management processes and provides best practices and process improvements for carbon sequestration in the management of a variety of waste types, including carbide lime waste, construction waste, and reject brine effluents, amongst others. The book also provides underlying research on the environmental impacts of these wastes and the need for carbon capture to emphasize the importance and need for improvements of these processes. Overall, this information will be key to determining lifecycle benefits of CO2 for each newly improved waste process.

This is an important source of information for environmental and sustainability scientists and engineers, as well as academics and researchers in the field who should be trying to achieve increased carbon capture in any form of waste process to reduce environmental impact.

• Introduces the basic principles of carbon sequestration by alkaline solid waste (cement kiln dust, steel slag, fly ash, and carbide lime wastes), detailing the lack of current sustainability
• Provides a comprehensive resource on carbon sequestration in a variety of waste processes and practical guidance on applying them to these processes
• Details the need for carbon capture in these processes and the environmental impacts of not doing so
• Outlines the methods for determining lifecycle benefits of CO2 for each newly developed product
