Transaction Costs in Collective Waste Recovery Systems in the EU [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The study aims to identify the institutional flaws of the current EU waste management model by analysing the economic model of extended producer responsibility and collective waste management systems and to create a model for measuring the transaction costs borne by waste recovery organizations.

Management of 137Cs in electric arc furnace dust by solid-liquid extraction and treatment of contaminated wastewater using co-precipitation

open access: yesCase Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2023
Efficient decontamination of 137Cs in electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) was carried out using a solid-liquid extraction method and then the obtained wastewater contaminated with 137Cs was treated by a co-precipitation. The influences of pH, stirring time,

Feasibility of Direct Disposal of Salt Waste from Electochemical Processing of Spent Nuclear Fuel [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The US Department of Energy decided in 2000 to treat its sodium-bonded spent nuclear fuel, produced for experiments on breeder reactors, with an electrochemical process. The metallic waste produced is to be cast into ingots and the salt waste further processed to form a ceramic waste form for disposal in a mined repository.

Solid Waste Detection, Monitoring and Mapping in Remote Sensing Images: A Survey [PDF]

open access: yesWaste Management 189 (2024) 88-102
The detection and characterization of illegal solid waste disposal sites are essential for environmental protection, particularly for mitigating pollution and health hazards. Improperly managed landfills contaminate soil and groundwater via rainwater infiltration, posing threats to both animals and humans. Traditional landfill identification approaches,

Removal of Cobalt-60 and Caesium-134 Ions from Contaminated Solutions by Sorption Using Activated Carbon

open access: yesAdsorption Science & Technology, 2011
Date pits (DP) and sawdust (SD) were used as precursors for activated carbons which were prepared by steam pyrolysis of DP and chemical activation of SD, respectively. Surface characterization of both activated carbons was undertaken using the BET method.
