The increasing demand for heat, electricity, fuels and chemicals is pushing naturalresources towards a non-reversible situation. Current solutions have to be adapted,and alternative (desirably sustainable) sources have to be found. With growth as-sured due ...

The widespread use of nanoparticles (NPs) and other potentially ecotoxic chemical compounds to enhance the quality of consumer products has raised concern about their fate in the environment. Indeed, those products have to be ultimately disposed of and alo ...
Pollution is defined as “to make something impure”. Water bodies, natural or man-made, are susceptible to pollution ranging from plastic waste disposals to urban and industrial sewage discharge. Until 1960, records show that there were 262 water bodies in ...

When gravity-driven mass flows, such as avalanches and landslides, enter bodies of water, they can generate large impulse waves whose effects can be devastating. Experimental studies of impulse wave formation have mostly used rigid blocks or granular mater ...
Experimental studies of impulse-wave formation have mostly used rigid blocks or granular materials to mimic landslides at the laboratory scale. These studies have deduced that material deformability plays a key part in wave formation: the more rigid the sl ...
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Resource Recovery from Wastes includes the latest and innovative research and technological developments in the biotechnology and bioengineering pertaining to various resource(s) recovery from waste ...
The focus and challenge for energy engineering in the context of rapid climate change is summarised by the Europe 20-20-20 targets, committing to a reduction in energy consumption of 20%. The most logical approach to achieve these goals is to target the mo ...
Tsunamis, impulse waves, and dam failures are disasters that challenge humanity, often leading to massive casualties and extreme economic losses. The highly unsteady flow conditions generated by such events are often in the form of turbulent bores. The pur ...

The total municipal solid waste (MSW) generated worldwide in 2012 was approximately 1.3 billion tonnes. Were all countries to continue to generate waste at the current rate of high-income countries, total waste generation could reach 5.9 billion tonnes by ...
