escalating development of tourism and petroleum industries in small islands such as lavan-iranrequires sound solid waste management. in the present investigation, three scenarios which consist of thecombination of landfill, recycling, incineration and composting and their environmental impacts have beenevaluated for 7514 kg/day of waste generation in lavan island. for this purpose, life cycle a...

isposal of wastewater sludge has D long been a problem in wastewater treatment. In the past decade, however, conventional sludge disposal methods, such as incineration, Ocean dumping and landfilling, have come under increasingly tighi regulatory control. These regulatory cmtrols, coupled with increased energy costs and environmental concerns, have sparked renewed interest in wastewater sludge c...

can be completely dispensed with. The standard pattern of jail filth receptacle answers admirably. This is made easy by the fact that I have dispensed with the system of " earth proofing " each deposit in the latrines, and substituted paddy husk instead. To us here, this item is a bye-product in our garden department; we produce 80 maunds of rice locally, and it is found by experiment that a po...

Operation parameters such as waste feed rate, air supply, and temperature of the gas in incineration plants should be carefully determined for various situations, which include seasonal and annual changes in fuel characteristics, and performance change of the hardware. These changes may cause off-design point operation of the incinerators, which results in many problems in operation of the flue...

Incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the key scopes in the global clean energy strategy. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was established in order to reveal these features of the combustion process in a fixed porous bed of MSW. Transporting equations and process rate equations of the waste bed were modeled and set up to describe the incineration process, according to ...

The pyrolysis residue (SP) of sewage sludge (SS) produced at 500 degrees C was subjected to batch and column leaching tests to investigate the release of its organic and inorganic constituents and metals. For comparison, incineration ash (SI) obtained from a SS incinerator was also tested. Pyrolysis and incineration reduced organic matter of SS from 0.78 kg kg(-1)-dry SS to 0.16 and 0.01 kg kg(...
