Decision support methodology for waste-to-value process integration

Rafael Amorim Leandro De Castro Amoedo

Waste treatment is a complex procedure that comprises multidimensional aspects. The challenges posed by the energy transition and international protocols emphasize the role of waste in its material and energy dimension. With an increasing population and li ...

The capture technology matters: Composition of municipal wastewater solids drives complexity of microbial community structure and volatile fatty acid profile during anaerobic fermentation

Pierre Rossi, Arnaud Michel Gelb

The production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) represents a relevant option to valorize municipal wastewater (MWW). In this context, different capture technologies can be used to recover organic carbon from wastewater in form of solids, while pre-treatment ...

Computational micromechanics of porous brittle solids

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Lars Kristoffer Uhlen Blatny, Stephanie Wang

Porous brittle solids evidence complex mechanical behavior, where localized failure patterns originate from mechanical processes on the microstructural level. In order to investigate the failure mechanics of porous brittle solids, we outline a general stoc ...

Multi-objective optimization in waste plastics - recycling vs thermo-valorization

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Rafael Amorim Leandro De Castro Amoedo

In the past few years, waste management has received increasing attention not only from industry but also from academics. With an increase in plastic content, motivated by China’s ban on its import, waste composition is expected to change in the near futur ...

Linking transformations of organic carbon to post-treatment performance in a biological water recycling system

Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé, Eva Reynaert

Ozone, electrolysis and granular activated carbon (GAC) were examined as potential post-treatments to followa household-scale biologically activated membrane bioreactor (BAMBi), treating a wash water containing trace urine and feces contamination. Each pos ...

Introduction to Waste Bioremediation

Edgard Gnansounou

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 ...
