Waste disposal and recycling

Industry is not yet able to make complete and rational use of their biomass residue and waste. Intelligent waste disposal and recycling techniques are necessary to meet stronger legislative requirements in future.

The scope of applications of ionic liquids has been extended to many domains and now much broader than assumed. Following this tremendous development associated with the commercial availability of ILs, the industrial applicability of ILs rapidly appeared as an important aspect as demonstrated by the accelerating number of patents. However, despite of their significant benefits, their translation into viable industrial processes is far from being obvious and the industrialization of IL technologies is rather slow. For the industrial use of ILs, some major issues must be addressed such as purity, stability, toxicity, cost, waste disposal, and recycling which may be barriers to IL commercialization. Several pilot plants or industrial processes using ILs were publicly announced and some of them are considered in this section. 

Further impacts of earthquakes on the natural environment include issues of demolition debris, contaminated liquefaction, and other products of the devastation caused by seismic events. As highlighted in the entry V Waste Management Following Earthquake Disaster, effective management of such waste disposal and recycling can either preserve or significantly undermine the natural environment. These impacts on the natural environment have flow on effects on the local population s health, well-being, and resilience.
