The disposal of used vehicle tires at the end of their life time, is a significant environmental concern. There is need for specific legislative framework, regulating their disposal, after these are replaced, however, there are several options for further processing. In the framework of circular economy, recovery methods and new applications for the material are… Continue reading Life cycle assessment of electricity generation by tire pyrolysis oil
A novel approach for the treatment of VOCs (by using toluene used as a model compound) and the simultaneous conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable biomass has been investigated by using a combination of an activated sludge moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) and an algal photo-bioreactor (PBR). The first unit (MBBR, R1) promoted toluene removal up to 99.9 % for inlet… Continue reading Advanced treatment of toluene emissions with a cutting-edge algal bacterial photo-bioreactor: Performance assessment in a circular economy perspective
The rate of municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in developing countries is continuously growing in proportion to the gross national product. Landfilling, incineration, composting, and waste to energy (WtE) have a brief history as management strategies for MSW in India. Economic evaluation via cost benefit analysis (CBA) of MSW is establishing the most appropriate treatment/disposal… Continue reading Evaluation of cost benefit analysis of municipal solid waste management systems
