Experimental results of leaching tests using waste fractions obtained by mechanical pretreatment of lithium ion batteries (LIB) were reported.
Quantifying aquaculture waste into different waste fractions will make it possible to design different treatment setups for obtaining specific cleaning objectives.
In a sensitivity study concerning the influence of waste composition (heating value, number of waste fractions), waste particle size distribution and radiative flux onto the waste bed on conversion has been carried out.
Landfill aeration by means of low pressure air injection is a promising tool to reduce long term emissions from organic waste fractions through accelerated biological stabilization.
Using a nanoproduct inventory (nanodb.dk), we performed a four-step analysis to estimate the most abundant ENMs and in which waste fractions they are present.
Remaining and upcoming challenges with some C&D waste fractions, as well as future changes in quantity and quality of C&D waste supply and recycled aggregate materials demand, are discussed.
The applicability of the method was demonstrated through a case study including two existing Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facilities, one with co-generation of heat and power (CHP) and another with only power generation (Power), affected by diversion strategies of five waste fractions (fibres, plastic, metals, organics and glass), named "target fractions".
As a result, while the methane yield of wastes co-digestion could be predicted by proportional summation of methane yields obtained in mono-digestions of these waste fractions, such linear regressions were unable to provide a good estimation of the rate constants.
The imposed legislative restriction on the amount of material that can be directed to thermal processing for energy recovery forces the system to include additional post-shredder treatment, with the result that material and energy recovery quotas are significantly lower at 88 91%, hence creating complex waste fractions.
What really attracts attention is that, apart from consumers who donate the toy to family or social associations, 67.1% of consumers discard them along with other waste fractions in domestic bins, whereas only 32.9% do so at recycling points, as Directive 2012/19/EU requires.
