Study on Recycling Byproduct Salts from Waste Treatment as Disinfection Materials

Update on Waste Recycling Study

Recycling of CIGS solar cell waste materials

The increased interest in solar power over the last few decades has led to a constant development of existing and new types of solar cells. One type of solar cell that is making advances on the global market is copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells. The advantage of thin film solar cells is that they require less semiconductor material than conventional silicon solar cel...

Disinfection byproduct formation in swimming pools

The fate of organic nitrogen and carbon introduced into a swimming pool by pool users has been studied using a 2.2 m model pool. The study made use of a body fluid analogue, containing the primary endogenous organic amino compounds, and a soiling analogue represented by humic acid. The system was used to examine the effect of organic loading and organic carbon source (i.e. amino or humic acid) ...

Recycling and Solid Waste Study:

In this paper we aim to determine how the city of Eugene, Oregon compares to other cities in terms of its citizens’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for recycling service. Also, we will determine what the expected WTP for Eugene residents and use that result to make policy recommendations. We use WTP as an indication of a city’s relative valuation of recycling services in their community. We will use W...

Nutrient recycling from bio-waste as green fertilizers.

In the transition from a fossil to a bio-based economy, it has become an important challenge to maximally recuperate and recycle valuable nutrients coming from manure and digestate processing. Membrane filtration is a suitable technology to separate valuable nutrients in easily transportable concentrates which could potentially be re-used as green fertilizers, in the meantime producing high qua...
