The phrase "ambient waste" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing environmental issues, pollution, or waste management, particularly in relation to waste that is dispersed or present in the environment.
Example: "The study focused on the impact of ambient waste on local ecosystems and wildlife."
Alternatives: "surrounding waste" or "environmental waste".
Energy harvesting techniques which convert ambient waste energy into usable electrical power have emerged with the increased energy demand and rapid growth of self-powered systems.
Energy harvesting technology, capturing ambient waste energy from human movements or machinery vibrations, offers a promising solution for self-powered, wireless, and sustainable operation on various applications such as portable electronic devices, touch sensors, and implanted biosensors [1 3].
The advanced buildings of tomorrow will need to take advantage of renewable, ambient and waste energy to approach ultra-low energy buildings.
Four lithologies of the Dumont nickel project were studied for assessing the carbonation capacity in ambient conditions of waste rocks and mineral processing tailings consisting of dunite, peridotite, gabbro, and volcanic materials.
System-modified solutions integrating auxiliary energy sources like fossil fuel, solar energy, ambient air and waste heat with ground-coupled heat pumps or using ground-coupled absorption heat pumps, can eliminate serious thermal imbalance essentially by increasing soil thermal injection and decreasing the extraction.
The main concept in energy harvesting is to convert wasted ambient energy into useful electrical energy.
US-based Entegris, a £400m per year provider of materials to the electronics industry, claims to have developed a closed-loop, acid-based process called eVOLV that can recover 98% of precious metals in electronic waste at ambient temperature and at costs 30 40% lower than smelting.
A global model able to forecast leachate quality parameters based on a landfill's waste composition, ambient temperature, and rainfall rate is critically needed.
This work clearly shows that the recovery of tartaric acid from wine lees can be achieved using cation exchange resin, under mild conditions (ambient temperature) avoiding the waste calcium sulfate sludge of the conventional process.
From the optimization process, most infrastructure solutions showed an average integration of 50%to80%0% of buildings in thermal micro-grids, 50 to 100% of the available solar potential, and a resource mix consisting of photovoltaic electricity and sources of waste and ambient heat.
The proposed system can run the drying process at the required optimised temperature, eliminate the dependence of the process on ambient temperature and use waste heat that would otherwise be dissipated in some form, as it is not useful for other applications inside the plant.
