About this ebook
This book addresses the control of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in electronic waste. Drawing on the pollution characteristics of PBDEs and related remediation technologies, it systematically summarizes the authors’ research on PBDE pollution control, including: (1) the pollution generation and transformation processes of PBDEs during pyrolysis; (2) reductive degradation of PBDEs by zero-valent iron; (3) direct photodegradation of PBDEs under UV light; (4) photocatalytic degradation of PBDEs; (5) microbial degradation of PBDEs; (6) chemical oxidation of PBDEs; and (7) selective removal of PBDEs in surfactant eluates. Together, these findings help clarify the environmental pathways and underlying mechanisms of PBDEs, offering valuable insights into strategies for pollution control and remediation. This book can serve as a useful reference for researchers in environmental science and engineering, environmental geoscience, chemical engineering and technology, and resource recycling. It is also relevant for environmental protection professionals, energy conservation and environmental management specialists, and teachers and students in related disciplines.
About the author
Guining LU, the lead author of the work, is PhD in Environmental science and engineering and has been researcher and teacher at the School of Environment and Energy, South China University of Technology, for more than 15 years. He also serves on the editorial boards of Environmental and Sustainability Indicators and The Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on the constitutive relationship between the environmental behavior and activity of organic pollutants, ecological remediation of heavy-metal- and organic-contaminated water and soil, collaborative control and remediation technologies for e-waste pollution, and strategies for managing rural and agricultural environmental pollution.
