Material flow management has become an increasingly important paradigm in waste management. An essential goal of this paradigm is prioritizing waste reduction over reuse and recycling, and the latter waste management processes over secure disposal of waste ...
Pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is widespread due to unsuitable disposal of industrial waste. They are mostly defined as priority pollutants by environmental protection authorities worldwide. Phenanthrene, a typical PAH, was selected a ...
Biotrickling filter (BTF) technology was applied for the treatment of waste gas containing a mixture of chlorobenzene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene. An adapted microbial community was immobilised on a structured packing material. The strategy followed was to rea ...
The way municipal solid waste is handled greatly determines its impact on the local as well as the global environment. New technologies have emerged for the treatment of waste, for the recovery of raw materials and energy, and for safe final disposal. The ...
From the standpoint of waste elimination and the design and operation of the systems installed, the cogeneration of electricity and heat from the incineration of wastes has become today an important issue in Switzerland. Decision models developed to minimi ...
Nowadays, efficiency and productivity are fundamental concepts, in any kind of business. Although one can easily accept this as a known fact, one cannot easily identify which steps must be taken to achieve these goals. One approach consists of taking full ...
SO2 is removed from mineral acids, e.g., HCl, in an exchange column consisting of an absorption section with 5-10 plates, a cooling section, and a stripping section with 10-15 plates at the bottom. The choice of stripping gas is detd. by the subsequent tre ...
Fly ash is commonly deposited in special landfills as it contains toxic concentrations of heavy metals, such as Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cu. This study was inspired by our efforts to detoxify fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration by thermal treatment to p ...
This paper presents analytical solutions for estimating the potential impact of waste disposal sites (landfills) on ground water. The solutions yield estimates of the average groundwa ter concentrations in an aquifer located below the landfill, and of the ...
