Environmental assessment of incinerator residue utilisation

Environmental assessment of incinerator residue utilisation.

Incineration ashes may be treated either as a waste to be dumped in landfill, or as a resource that is suitable for re-use. In order to choose the best management scenario, knowledge is needed on the potential environmental impact that may be expected, including not only local, but also regional and global impact. In this study, A life cycle assessment (LCA) based approach was outlined for envi...

Long Term Chemical Leaching from Incinerator Residue

This paper presents another type of bin which has successfully been used on material hard to dis­ charge from a storage bin, including industrial waste. I would like to point out that the Eastman Kodak Co. has handled material as low in density as lib/cu. ft. I would suggest that a paper follow this one giving more details. The information given in this paper whets the appetite for more informa...

Environmental Burden of Disease from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator

Preliminary Environmental Assessment of the Cultivation of Microalgae Agroindustrial Residue

Microalgae are considered promising sources of raw material for biodiesel production. The cultivation of microalgae for obtaining biomass depends on several factors such as the amount of available nutrients, CO2, water, light, temperature and pH. The literature suggests the use of alternative nutrients for reducing the environmental impacts of biodiesel production from microalgae. This study ai...

Utilisation of two-stage waste incinerator bottom ash as a cement substitute in concrete

Waste incineration still seems to be an essential technology in the concept of integrated waste management. However, the desirable quantity of waste incineration residue needs to be as low as possible. Therefore, related optimization of two-stage waste incineration technology has been performed with the main goal of producing lower amounts of boiler ash, fly ash and flue gas-treatment residue, ...
