The thermochemical conversion and recycling of hazardous solid waste materials is investigated using high-temperature solar process heat. Two important sources of wastes contaminated with heavy metal oxides are considered: (1) electric are furnace dust (EA ...
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 ...
In this work, the impact of moisture on the volatility of heavy metals present in municipal solid wastes (MSW) in a laboratory scale simulated incinerator was studied, using synthetic waste consisting of 5.4 g of wood powder, 2.6 g lava, 1.9 polythene, 0.1 ...
Aims: The objective of this study was to increase the acetate production by Clostridium thermolacticum growing on lactose, available as a renewable resource in the milk and whey permeate from the cheese industry. Methods and Results: Experiments for increa ...
In the context of resource conservation and the rational production and use of energy, there is growing interest in Switzerland, as elsewhere, in the incineration of domesttic wastes. One of the characteristics of waste incineration cogeneration power plan ...
We employ the intake fraction (iF) as an effective tool for expressing the source-to-intake relationship for pollutant emissions in life cycle analysis (LCA) or comparative risk assessment. Intake fraction is the fraction of chemical mass emitted into the ...
From the standpoint of an energetically and economically efficient waste elimination, the design and operation of optimized incineration power plants with the cogeneration of electricity and heat has become today an important issue. Decision models develop ...
The enrichment with heavy metals of bottom ash from municipal solid waste incinerators limits its sustainable use as a construction material. Part of the heavy metals evaporate during the incineration process. In order to determine the factors influencing ...
The transition towards sustainable development inevitably implies a multiplication of the factors to be considered. The problem is particulary evident in the domain of energy systems for which methods allowing a holistic comparison between technologies opt ...
