Solid waste Management

INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract—"Prevention is better than cure" – a principle that holds especially true for waste management. This project aims to develop a digital platform to promote the reduction of waste at the household level by aggregating secondary resources such as used clothes, e-waste, and leftover food.

Environmental contamination characteristics of heavy metals from abandoned lead–zinc mine tailings in China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
China holds large-scale lead–zinc mineral resources; however, mining activities often cause severe contamination by heavy metals. This study systemically assessed contamination by eight heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg, Ni, and As) in mine tailings ...

Emission Determination by Three Remote Sensing Methods in Two Release Trials

Atmosphere, 2021
Concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous dioxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) in the atmosphere are rising continuously. The first step to reduce emissions from landfills is to gain better knowledge about the quantities emitted.

Effect of coupling primary sedimentation tank (PST) and microscreen (MS) to remove particulate organic carbon (POC): a study to mitigate energy demand in municipal wastewater treatment plants

Sustainable Environment Research, 2023
Particulate Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal is one of the first and foremost steps in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). It is a highly essential step that supports subsequent biological steps to achieve discharge limits.

Glass‐ceramic: Controlled crystallization of glasses obtained from biomass ash

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & Science, 2023
In this work, vitreous material was produced, using ash from burning wood in a boiler, to obtain a glass‐ceramic with the gehlenite phase. The glass obtained by melt‐quenching at 1450°C was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and other ...
