Biowastes-to-biofuels

Energy Conversion and Management, 2011
In recent years, there has been a steadily increasing in the amount of solid waste due to the increasing human population and urbanization. Waste materials are generated from manufacturing processes, industries and municipal solid wastes (MSW). Waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies convert waste matter into various forms of fuel that can be used to supply

Demineralisation of Municipal Biowaste Hydrolysates

ChemistrySelect, 2019
Abstract This work reports the demineralisation of soluble biorganic hyrolysates (SBOs) obtained from three materials sampled from a municipal biowaste treatment plant. The SBOs contain mineral and organic matter.

Hydrogen Production from Biowaste

2015
In this chapter the feasibility of hydrogen production from organic waste (OW) is highlighted. Possible sources are the residue of municipal solid waste (MSW) sorting by mechanical/physical treatment, the OW separately collected from households and the waste produced along the entire food production chain.

Biowaste treatment.

Journal of parenteral science and technology : a publication of the Parenteral Drug Association, 1992
Finding a practical solution for effectively managing facility liquid biowaste is a process of deductive reasoning. Many considerations need to be addressed. The liquid effluent must be characterized to determine required capacity, materials of construction and mode of operation of the biowaste treatment system.

Odour control at biowaste composting facilities

Waste Management, 2005
There are several options to effectively reduce odorous emissions at composting facilities depending on the type of composting system used. Some of the more relevant measures for open and enclosed composting facilities are presented in this article. Results from different investigations on odour reduction efficiencies of biological waste gas treatment ...

Degradation of household biowaste in reactors

Journal of Biotechnology, 2001
Household derived biowaste was degraded by biological methods. The system involves the combined method of low-solids (up to 10% w/v of total solids (TS)) anaerobic digestion and aerobic degradation for the recovery of energy (biogas) and the production of fine humus-like material which can be used as a soil amender or a substrate for further thermal ...

Thermogravimetric analysis of biowastes during combustion

Waste Management, 2010
The combustion of sewage sludge (SS), animal manure (AM) and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) was assessed and compared with that of a semianthracite coal (SC) and of a PET waste by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. Differences were found in the TG curves obtained for the combustion of these materials accordingly to their respective

Microbial characterization during composting of biowaste

Waste Management, 2009
Windrow composting of source-separated biowaste was studied in a pilot plant in Crete, with regard to abiotic factors, gas concentration in the pile and succession of functional microbial groups. The pH, C/N ratio and VS content, as well as the O(2) and CO(2) concentration, correlated well with composting time, indicating typical composting behaviour ...

Occupational hygiene in biowaste composting

Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 1998
Source-separated biowastes from the Helsinki Metropolitan Area have been composted in open air windrows at Ammas suo, the Helsinki regional landfill in Espoo (Finland). The most significant problem encountered in the early stages of the process has been the formation of rancid odor causing human discomfort.

Composting to Recycle Biowaste

2009
If agriculture is to be made sustainable, few activities like composting are very important. Composting not only allows organic waste of agricultural origin to be recycled and returned to the soil, but also provides a solution for managing much of the waste, which is currently a major problem.
