Recycling of construction material is a valuable option for minimizing construction & demolition waste streams to landfills and mitigating primary mineral resource depletion. Material flows in the construction sector are governed by a complex socio-technic ...
This document is the report of my second semester project at IPESE. Its objectives were to validate the energetic strategy 2035 of the “Canton du Valais”. The lecturer will see how the Swiss-Energyscope model has been adapted to the canton of Valais to com ...
Increasing numbers of multiresistant bacterial pathogens cause severe health problems on a global scale. Large quantities of bacteria and their resistance genes are discharged into natural environments via human and animal waste. Not much is known so far a ...
The environmental benefits of recycling are assessed against other end-of-life (EOL) treatments for Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) waste. Recycling via pyrolysis, incineration with energy recovery, and disposal via landfilling are compared. To acco ...
Antibacterial action of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) on Gram-negative bacteria (planctonic cells and biofilms) is reported in this study. AgNP of 8.3 nm in diameter stabilized by hydrolyzed casein peptides strongly inhibited biofilms formation of Escherichi ...
More than 100 million tonnes of municipal solid waste are incinerated worldwide every year1. However, little is known about the fate of nanomaterials during incineration, even though the presence of engineered nanoparticles in waste is expected to grow2. H ...
Context Worldwide: FS production much larger than treated volumes In Vietnam: • Urban households required to own septic tanks • Combined onsite and centralized sanitation • FS emptying frequency up to 10 years or more Negligible FS volumes treated before d ...
Uptake and discharge of ballast water by ocean-going ships contribute to the worldwide spread of aquatic invasive species, with negative impacts on the environment, economies, and public health. The International Ballast Water Management Convention aims at ...
Method for detecting amyloidogenic proteinaceous material induced by a proteopathy, for instance Alzheimer's disease, characterized by the fact that said amyloidogenic proteinaceous material is detected in a mammal waste product, such as feces. ...
The AgSTAR project of the U.S. EPA analyzed the possibility of installing anaerobic digesters with energy generation and nutrient capture in all confined dairy operations in the US with 500+ cows, with a total potential capacity of more than 2,000 digester ...
