Exploring the Environmental Feasibility of Integrated Sanitation Systems for Uganda

Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2019
In urban areas of Uganda, management of waste which consists of at least 70% organic content is accomplished by collection and disposal in landfills, resulting in emission of landfill gases among other impacts. Meanwhile, the limited number of wastewater

Bionic Solar‐Powered Heavy Metal Trap for Eco‐Friendly Sludge Drying and Simultaneous Electricity Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

Civilian Occupational Exposure to Vapors, Gas, Dust, or Fumes and Respiratory Health Among United States Military Veterans

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We investigated associations of self‐reported and job exposure matrix (JEM) assigned civilian occupational exposure to vapors, gas, dust, or fumes (VGDF) with respiratory symptoms among previously deployed US Veterans. Methods An interviewer‐administered questionnaire ascertained self‐reported civilian occupational VGDF exposure.

Potassium Migration of Chestnut Shell Ashes Under Oxidizing Atmosphere and Its Modification Mechanism by Additives

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biomass energy plays a critical role in alleviating environmental pressures. However, its relatively high content of alkali metals (especially for potassium) would cause ash‐related issues during combustion. To mitigate these issues, the potassium migration behaviors during chestnut shell (CS) conversion and the modification mechanisms of ...
