Composting and compost utilization: accounting of greenhouse gases and global warming contributions
Tập 27 Số 8 - Trang 800-812 - 2009
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to composting of organic waste and the
use of compost were assessed from a waste management perspective. The GHG
accounting for composting includes use of electricity and fuels, emissions of
methane and nitrous oxide from the composting process, and savings obtained by
the use of the compost. The GHG account depends on waste type and composition
(kitchen orga...
Challenges and opportunities of biodegradable plastics: A mini review
Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 132-140 - 2017
The concept of materials coming from nature with environmental advantages of
being biodegradable and/or biobased (often referred to as bioplastics) is very
attractive to the industry and to the consumers. Bioplastics already play an
important role in the fields of packaging, agriculture, gastronomy, consumer
electronics and automotive, but still they have a very low share in the total
production o...
Worldwide distribution and abundance of microplastic: How dire is the situation?
Tập 36 Số 10 - Trang 873-897 - 2018
The widespread occurrence of microplastic has invaded the environment to an
extent that it appears to be present throughout the globe. This review
investigated the global abundance and distribution of microplastics in marine
and freshwater ecosystems. Furthermore, the issues and challenges have been
addressed for better findings in microplastics studies. Findings revealed that
the accumulation of ...
Anaerobic digestion technology in poultry and livestock waste treatment — a literature review
Tập 27 Số 1 - Trang 3-18 - 2009
A literature review has been undertaken to investigate the performance of the
different anaerobic process configurations and operational conditions used in
poultry and livestock waste treatment. The results of the extensive literature
review showed that a wide range of different reactor volumes varying from 100 mL
to 95 m 3 were utilized in the investigation of anaerobic processing of poultry
manu...
Vinasses: characterization and treatments
Tập 29 Số 12 - Trang 1235-1250 - 2011
The final products of the ethanol industry are alcoholic beverages, industrial
ethanol and biofuels. They are produced by the same production process, which
includes fermentation and distillation of raw materials which come from plant
biomass. At the end of the distillation process a waste effluent is obtained
called vinasse or stillage. The direct disposal of stillages on land or in
groundwater (...
Performance of Natural Zeolites for the Treatment of Mixed Metal-Contaminated Effluents
Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 383-394 - 1997
Two natural zeolites, clinoptilolite and chabazite, have been evaluated with
respect to their selectivity and removal performance for the treatment of
effluents con taminated with mixed heavy metals, namely Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr, Ni
and Co. Parameters such as metal concentration, pH and presence of competing
ions were examined and removal performance was determined in terms of the
zeolites, ion excha...
Life cycle assessment of sewage sludge management: A review
Tập 31 Số 11 - Trang 1083-1101 - 2013
In this article, 35 published studies on life cycle assessment (LCA) of sewage
sludge were reviewed for their methodological and technological assumptions.
Overall, LCA has been providing a flexible framework to quantify environmental
impacts of wastewater and sewage sludge treatment and disposal processes for
multiple scales, ranging from process selection to policy evaluation. The
results of LCA...
A Historical Context of Municipal Solid Waste Management in the United States
Tập 22 Số 4 - Trang 306-322 - 2004
Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in the United States is a system
comprised of regulatory, administrative, market, technology, and social
subcomponents, and can only be understood in the context of its historical
evolution. American cities lacked organized public works for street cleaning,
refuse collection, water treatment, and human waste removal until the early
1800s. Recurrent epidemics...
Life cycle assessment of waste incineration in Denmark and Italy using two LCA models
Tập 29 Số 10_suppl - Trang S78-S90 - 2011
In Europe, about 20% of municipal solid waste is incinerated. Large differences
can be found between northern and southern Europe regarding energy recovery
efficiencies, flue gas cleaning technologies and residue management. Life-cycle
assessment (LCA) of waste incineration often provides contradictory results if
these local conditions are not properly accounted for. The importance of
regional dif...
Approximate cost functions for solid waste treatment facilities
Tập 24 Số 4 - Trang 310-322 - 2006
Cost estimation is a basic requirement for planning municipal solid waste
management systems. The variety of organizational, financial and management
schemes and the continuously developing technological advancements render the
economic analysis a complex task, made more complex by the scarcity of real cost
data. The objectives of this paper were: (1) to explore the problems arising in
getting cos...
