In the present work, we studied the NH(3)and H2S odor fluxes between the exposed working area and the HDPE covering film holes of the daily overlay in an actual landfill site with a daily operating area of 1600 m(2)in Hangzhou, China. We showed that the od ...
A novel method for the determination of linear and cyclic siloxane compounds (L2, L3, D3, D4, D5, and D6) in biogas was developed by combining gas chromatography (GC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Using a continuous liquid que ...
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 ...
Food and kitchen waste - omnipresent in every corner of the world serve as an excellent source of value added products owing to high organic content. Regardless of existence of various traditional methods of land filling or biogas production used to harnes ...
Incomplete discharge of waste materials into the environment is of concern due to its slow degradability, highly soluble and biomagnification features in animals and plants. Conventional treatment techniques include chemical precipitation, ion-exchange, re ...
Fuel cell and hydrogen technologies are re-gaining momentum in a number of sectors including industrial, tertiary and residential ones. Integrated biogas fuel cell plants in wastewater treatment plants and other bioenergy recovery plants are nowadays on th ...
Using density functional theory, we systematically compute and investigate the binding enthalpies of 14 different small molecules in a series of isostructural metalorganic frameworks, M-MOF-74, with M = Mg, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn. The small ...
Landfills are a major anthropogenic source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4). However, much of the CH4 produced during the anaerobic degradation of organic waste is consumed by methanotrophic micro-organisms during passage through the landfill-cover soil ...
The thermochemical production of hydrogen from lignocellulosic biomass is systematically analyzed by developing environomic models combining thermodynamics with economic analysis, process integration techniques and optimization strategies for the conceptua ...
Energy demand and economic development are intrinsically linked. Earlier economic development came at the price of serious environmental pollution, posing a risk to life on earth. Thus, a transition from fossil to renewable energy is needed. Among the rene ...
