Resource Recovery Technology for Municipal and Rural Solid Waste

Zhao Youcai, is currently a professor of environmental engineering at School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University. He got bachelor degree from Sichuan University (1984) and Ph.D. from Institute of Chemical Metallurgy (now Institute of Process Engineering), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (1989). After finished Post-doctoral research work at Fudan University, Shanghai, he joined in Tongji University in 1991. Meanwhile, he had ever worked at Aristotle University, Greece, National University of Singapore, Tulane University, USA, and Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland, for 4 years as research fellow or visiting professor. He had authored or co-authored 200 publications published in peer-reviewed internationally recognized journals, 480 publications in China journals, authored 9 English books (at Elsevier and Springer) and authored or co-authored 98 Chinese books (as an author or Editor-in-chief), 4 textbooks for undergraduate, graduate and PhD students with a fourth edition of undergraduate textbook (in Chinese). Currently, his research interests include treatment and recycling of municipal and rural solid waste, construction and demolition waste, hazardous waste, industrial waste, electric and electronic waste, and sewage sludge, and polluted soil. Zhou Tao is currently assistant research fellow of environmental engineering at School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University. He received his bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering from Guangxi University, China in 2014 and his Ph D from Tongji University, China in 2019. He has authored or co-authored 42 peer-reviewed international papers, 15 Chinese papers, and 4 invited book chapters, 2 English book (Elsevier). His principal research interests lie in treatment and resource recovery of municipal and rural as well as industrial solid wastes. Eugene Atta Nyankson is currently an adjunct lecturer at William V.S. Tubman University, Liberia. He holds a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana. He has several publications in internationally peer reviewed journals, and is a member of various professional organizations such as the Ghana Institute of Safety and Environmental Professionals (GHISEP), and the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC). Currently, he is collaborating with frontlineWASTE, a Waste Management Company based in New York to disseminate technology of Waste-to-Energy to various governments in Ghana and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. His research interests include solid waste management, bioremediation and resource recovery.
