Waste into Fuel—Catalyst and Process Development for MSW Valorisation

Heavy Metals Removal from Sewage Sludge and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) by Co-Composting Process

Background & Aims of the Study: One of the most important pollutants in drinking water, air and soils is heavy metals. It is very harmful for humans and other live organisms. The purpose of this study was the usage of a co-composting process for removal of heavy metals from municipal solid waste and sewage sludge. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was a condu...

Acidogenic Fermentation Towards Valorisation of Organic Waste Streams into Volatile Fatty Acids

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been applied over the years for the treatment of a wide variety of organic streams. The advantages of this process over other biological treatments relate mainly to the low cost of bioreactors operation, when compared to aerobic processes, since AD-based treatments offer a cost-effective solution for the treatment of high-strength organic wastes, through economic re...

Implications of variable waste placement conditions for MSW landfills.

This investigation was conducted to evaluate the influence of waste placement practices on the engineering response of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Waste placement conditions were varied by moisture addition to the wastes at the time of disposal. Tests were conducted at a California landfill in test plots (residential component of incoming wastes) and full-scale active face (all incom...
