Application of system dynamics modeling for evaluation of different recycling scenarios in SingaporeJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 19 - Trang 1177-1185 - 2016
Apostolos Giannis, Miaoju Chen, Ke Yin, Huanhuan Tong, Andrei Veksha
The influence of socioeconomic factors, such as population and rapid economic growth, and the change of consumption and living patterns make waste management in Singapore, a complex issue. Due to limited land and resources, the solid waste management scheme requires a comprehensive approach. Therefore, system dynamics (SD) modeling was applied to assess alternative strategies for solid waste manag...... hiện toàn bộ
Economic evaluation of thermochemical conversion of municipal solid waste to syngas: a case study of Cape Town municipalityJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 25 - Trang 1179-1190 - 2022
Ismail Babatunde Adefeso, Daniel I. Ikhu-Omoregbe, Yusuf Makarfi Isa
Thermochemical conversions of the combustible components of municipal solid waste (MSW) minimize the emissions and net effects of greenhouse gas from open incineration, landfill and other associated challenges of traditional MSW management. The thermochemical conversions such as incineration, pyrolysis, and gasification offer a cleaner approach to waste-to-energy/chemical for sustainable MSW manag...... hiện toàn bộ
Modification of waste tire pyrolytic oil as base fluid for synthetic lube oil blending and production: waste tire utilization approachJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 22 - Trang 1258-1269 - 2020

This study provides an environmentally friendly process for the production of waste tire pyrolytic oil from fast pyrolysis for use in lube oil production. The produced waste tire pyrolytic oil was further distilled to provide an almost pure base fluid for production of lube oil. The distilled pyrolytic oil was further transformed to lube oil via polyol synthesis. Characterization of the distilled ...... hiện toàn bộ
Re-cycling of construction and demolition waste and steel slag: characterization of the durabilityJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 22 - Trang 1699-1711 - 2020
António José Roque, Gonçalo Manuel Rodrigues, Paula F. da Silva
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the durability of a crushed concrete aggregate, processed from construction and demolition waste and an inert siderurgical aggregate for construction, processed from electric arc furnace steel slag, with a view to boosting their re-cycling, minimizing the consumption of non-renewable natural resources and preserving the capacity of landfills. Both re...... hiện toàn bộ
Verification of exponential distribution of arrival and service times at municipal solid waste facilitiesJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 11 - Trang 321-327 - 2009
Ronald L. Mersky
Vehicle queuing at municipal solid waste (MSW) facilities causes economic and environmental damage. In the United States, typical MSW receiving facilities (transfer, recycling, energy recovery, and landfill) have three queues: one at the entrance weighing station, one at the waste tipping location, and one at the exit weighing station. A common method of determining queue behavior relies on equati...... hiện toàn bộ
Advanced recycling process for waste plastics based on physical degradation theory and its stabilityJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 21 - Trang 116-124 - 2018
Aya Tominaga, Hiroshi Sekiguchi, Ryoko Nakano, Shigeru Yao, Eiichi Takatori
In this study, we evaluated the mechanical properties of pre-consumer recycled polypropylene thin films molded at more various temperatures, times and cooling conditions. We also evaluated the durability toward UV irradiation, and the effects of re-molding and annealing on the stability of these improved mechanical properties. The results of this study show that the mechanical properties of recycl...... hiện toàn bộ
Exposure assessment of lead to workers and children in the battery recycling craft village, Dong Mai, VietnamJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 16 - Trang 46-51 - 2013

Human exposure to lead (Pb) due to uncontrolled Pb-acid battery recycling has been an environmental health issue in newly developed industrial regions. We conducted a human monitoring survey in Dong Mai, a battery recycling village in Vietnam, to assess exposure status to Pb. Lead level was measured in hair, blood and urine samples of residents in Dong Mai and two reference sites during 4 years sp...... hiện toàn bộ
Sustainable E-waste supply chain management with price/sustainability-sensitive demand and government interventionJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 22 - Trang 556-577 - 2019
Iman Ghalehkhondabi, Ehsan Ardjmand
The impact of appropriate E-waste management practices on the environment, human health, and natural resources has made E-waste management an interesting research topic in recent decades. Research also shows that government intervention is an important factor in controlling the emission volume produced by waste management systems. This study considers a base E-waste supply chain in which a collect...... hiện toàn bộ
