ZERO-WASTE ENGINEERING

The idea of "Zero-Waste Engineering" has been developing over years, in many areas of engineering, such as energy production (renewable energy), construction (green buildings), and many others. This book is a huge step in the continued march toward truly sustainable engineering practices. This book presents methods in various areas for sustainability purposes, such as new mathematical models, recyclable material selection, and renewable energy. Engineers and scientists of all industries will benefit from these principles of zero-waste engineering and how it applies to construction, energy production, and many other areas of engineering.

M. M. Khan was recently a lecturer in chemical engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, before moving to Canada. He has written a dozen papers and coauthored a book on zero waste engineering and sustainable technology.

M. R. Islam is Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the Civil and Resource Engineering Department of Dalhousie University, Canada. He has over 700 publications to his credit, including 6 books. He is on the editorial boards of several scholarly journals. In addition to his teaching duties, he is also director of Emertec Research and Development Ltd. and has been on the boards of a number of companies in North America and overseas.
