The objective of the work was to provide a method to predict CO2 and NH3 yields during composting of the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid wastes (MSW). The compostable portion of MSW was simulated using three principal biodegradable components, namely mixed paper wastes, yard wastes and food wastes. Twelve laboratory runs were carried out at thermophilic temperatures based on the princ...

The application of the biorefinery concept has contributed to reduction volumes food waste (FW), considered an economic and environmental problem. reuse these residues made it possible give them added value take advantage in production biofuels other value-added products. However, during FW conversion process, there are limitations that can hinder its correct development be solved through energ...

This article outlines our investigation into the methane production of wastewater sludge (WWS) from a treatment plant (WWTP) and mixture WWS with food waste (FW) green cutting (GC). To determine optimal mixture, two potential experiments were performed using Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS II). In first experiment, FW used. The highest was measured in FW, lowest WWS. combination ...

New York state recently passed a food waste (FW) disposal ban, which will prohibit landfilling of FW produced by commercial entities generating more than 2 tons/week the year 2022. This redirect 370,000 tons/year from landfills. In this work, we investigate three questions about landfill ban: 1) How can be diverted to treatment facilities at lowest system cost? 2) To what degree an expanded ana...

Food waste (FW) has traditionally been disposed by incineration or landfilling; however, it can be converted to green methane (GM) via anaerobic digestion, and GM used as fuel for light-duty natural gas vehicles (LDNGVs). A lifecycle assessment (LCA) of FW-based production LDNGV operation in China, a new scenario, was performed. The LCA results were compared with those the conventional FW treat...

The purpose of current investigation was to explore the scope integrating an anaerobic digester in a decentralized municipal wastewater treatment plant for in-situ household waste. present work intends identify potential sewage sludge and food waste biogas generation. study conducted lab scale continuous stirred tank reactor having working volume 6.5 L at mesophilic temperature. paper mill used...

Multicomponent collaborative anaerobic fermentation has been considered a promising technology for treating perishable organic solid wastes and producing clean energy. This study evaluated the potential of hydrogen production by thermophilic dry co-fermentation food waste (FW) with garden (GW) or kitchen (KW) as co-substrate. The results showed that when ratio FW to GW was 60:40, maximum cumula...

Hydrothermal carbonisation is a promising technology for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation through landfill avoidance and power generation, as it can convert high-moisture wastes into bio-coal which be used coal substitution. The GHG potential associated with of food waste (FW) generated in India, China the EU was calculated substitution to replace either grid energy, hard coal, or lignite consum...

Food waste (FW) has always been a significant issue faced by almost all countries worldwide. The rise in FW does not only influence one’s food supply, yet the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) leads to global warming health issues. This paper reviews primary treatments available countries. Most advanced have accomplished that least cost most efficient ...

Food waste (FW) contribute to emission of greenhouse gases as well environmental pollution. One way reducing the impact FW on environment is by using it for biofuel production. The yield from can be improved if substrate pretreated. In this study, ensiling was used a cost effective method pretreating biomethane Co-ensiling and maize straw (MS) carried out at carbon nitrogen ratios (C/N) 20, 25,...
