The paper presents a Process Integration application for waste heat utilisation from exhaust gas streams with partial condensation. It is based on the hot composite curve construction representing gaseous mixture cooling accounting condensable vapour part's gas–liquid equilibrium. With cold requiring heating, Pinch Point determined. On this basis, exchanger network (HEN) structure utilised inte...

The incineration of municipal waste under existing legislative and operational boundary conditions is a very complex process. An optimisation in the emissions is possible by a splitting up of the combustion air into primary and secondary air. The mixing of the secondary air into the furnace is the most important feature in order to reach uniform oxygen, temperature and velocity distributions. T...

The cost of carrying or resupplying life support resources for long duration manned space exploration missions such as a mission to Mars is prohibitive and requires the development of suitable recycling technologies. Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) has been identified as an attractive candidate for these extended missions because (i) pre-drying of wet waste streams is not required, (ii) pr...

Organic waste valorisation into biopolymers and nanofillers potentially lowers the pressure on non-renewable resources, avoids generation of waste-streams opens new opportunities to develop multifunctional bio-based products.

Stationary and personal passive sampling provides complementary information on the inhalation exposure to gaseous elemental mercury among Norwegian e-waste workers, Ghanaian artisanal gold miners community members.

A number of studies have estimated the carbon footprint healthcare provision in a variety contexts, but emission factors used to account for associated waste vary widely and are not specific. The aim this study was estimate compare hospital streams. process-based accordance with Greenhouse Gas Accounting Sector Guidance Pharmaceutical Products Medical Devices, using activity data based on strea...

Cellular phones have high environmental impact potentials because of their heavy metal content and current consumer attitudes toward purchasing new phones with higher functionality and neglecting to return waste phones into proper take-back systems. This study evaluates human health and ecological toxicity potentials from waste cellular phones; highlights consumer, corporate, and government res...
