Impacts of waste water sludge and cellulose addition on stabilization of municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash

, 2022
The objective was to test if the carbon dioxide released through the microbial respiration, enhanced by the adding of external organic matter in the bottom ash, could be absorbed by the ashes and thus improve the carbonation process.

A novel bubbling fluid bed reactor for the autothermal pyrolysis of waste plastics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 11, Page 5910-5920, November 2026.
Abstract A new pilot‐scale fluidized bed reactor operated under continuous conditions was developed and tested for the thermal pyrolysis of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). The study focused on assessing the reliability and operability of the system under different operating conditions (400–550°C), while monitoring mass and energy balances, product ...

Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 752-770, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...

Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 11, Page 1311-1322, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...
