Oxy-fuel combustion for power generation and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture
Developments and innovation in carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage technology
Edited by L Zheng, CanmetENERGY Ottawa Research Centre, Natural Resources Canada, Canada
Volume 1: Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, transport and industrial applications
Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy No. 17
Oxy-fuel combustion is currently considered to be one of the major technologies for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture in power plants. The advantages of using oxygen (O2) instead of air for combustion include a CO2-enriched flue gas that is ready for sequestration following purification and low NOx emissions. This simple and elegant technology has attracted considerable attention since the late 1990s, rapidly developing from pilot-scale testing to industrial demonstration. Challenges remain, as O2 supply and CO2 capture create significant energy penalties that must be reduced through overall system optimisation and the development of new processes. This book critically reviews the fundamental principles, processes and technology of oxyfuel combustion, including advanced concepts for its implementation.

Nuclear power generation NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION NEW Radioactive waste management and contaminated site clean-up Processes, technologies and international experience Edited by B Lee, Imperial College London, M I Ojovan, University of Sheffield, UK and C Jantzen, Savannah River National Laboratory, USA Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy No. 48
Radioactive waste management is critical to the use of nuclear power, the use of radioisotopes in research, medicine and industry, and to the clean-up of materials in nuclear weapon programmes. While many wastes can be well understood with appropriate treatment and conditioning technologies applied to them, others, and newer wastes, require additional R&D input to help control and contain them safely and securely. Different technologies are applied internationally due to the variation in the source of wastes, and to the current and potential policies that apply in those jurisdictions. This book provides a timely reference on radioactive waste management processes, technologies, and international experiences.
NEW Irradiation embrittlement of reactor pressure vessels in nuclear power plants Edited by N Soneda, Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), Japan
NEW Materials ageing and degradation in light water reactors Edited by K L Murty, North Carolina State University, USA Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy No. 44
The main degradation mechanism affecting RPVs is irradiation embrittlement, where neutron bombardment from the nuclear reaction displaces atoms in the RPV steels. Inspection, testing, and appropriate maintenance are therefore required to ensure any damage is mitigated and thereby to allow the plant to continue generating power. Irradiation embrittlement of reactor pressure vessels in nuclear power plants discusses irradiation embrittlement as it affects RPV steels, along with mitigation routes to manage RPV lifetime.
Light water reactors (LWRs) are the predominant class of nuclear power reactors in operation today. These plants are run to demanding safety standards and given the high degree of engineering involved, also look to operate for the long-term, i.e. up to and beyond their original design life, subject to structural performance of plant and appropriate safety licensing. This book addresses key aspects of materials ageing and degradation mechanisms in light water reactor environments together with corresponding materials management approaches and mitigation routes.

Biomass utilisation represents an increasingly important source of low or zero carbon power generation. Developments in the fuel-flexibility of conventional power plants allow for both direct biomass combustion as well as biomass co-firing with fossil-fuels. Advanced conversion technologies can also be integrated into existing power plants, or simply applied in new power plants, allowing a wide range of biomass feedstocks to be converted into more readily combustible fuel for use in either clean power generation or alternative fuel production. This book presents a comprehensive review of biomass combustion, conversion and utilisation science and technology.
Increasing global consumerism and population have led to an increase in the levels of waste produced. Energy recovery represents a useful, additional option in support of an improved and sustainable waste management hierarchy, for local energy supply and wider energy security. Advanced conversion technologies coupled with advanced pollution control systems can be employed to convert these calorific waste materials into clean energy, which can be integrated into buildings, distributed energy networks and national electricity grids. This book provides an integrated, thorough reference on waste to an energy (WTE) conversion technology.

FOOD INDUSTRY NEW Heat treatment for insect control Developments and applications D Hammond, Themokil Ltd, UK Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition No. 241
Stored product insects and other pests are a major hygiene and safety issue in many industries, from food production to the hotel trade. While fumigation has been the prevalent route for pest control, there remain issues with the toxicity of the chemicals used. With the phasing out of methyl bromide, heat treatment has emerged as one of the most promising new insect control methods and is becoming a critical element of integrated pest management. This book provides an overview of heat treatment for insect control. A section on fundamental issues is following by chapters focusing on applications in different industries. CONTENTS

Local environmental sustainability
TRANSPORT PLANNING
Edited by S Buckingham, Brunel University and K Theobald, University of Northumbria, UK
Sustainable transport
Local environmental sustainability sets the context for local environmental sustainability and, in particular, considers how local government can promote sustainable development by building partnerships with different groups and organisations in the local community. Using case studies, individual chapters focus on different types of regional and local initiatives, the partnerships that have made them possible, and the key issues in making them effective. Local environmental sustainability provides a blueprint for both local governments and local communities to work together effectively for a more sustainable future. CONTENTS
Edited by R Tolley, The Centre for Alternative and Sustainable Transport, Staffordshire University, UK This important and wide-reaching study provides a comprehensive guide to the implementation of sustainable transport initiatives worldwide. Through a wide range of case studies from Europe, North America and Australia. Sustainable transport shows how practical schemes, infrastructure developments and educational support can provide an alternative to the growing congestion in many urban environments. CONTENTS
