Conversion of solid waste to activated carbon to improve landfill sustainability [PDF]

open access: yesWaste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2018
Heterogeneous composite wastes from landfills were evaluated as precursors for the generation of activated carbon (AC). A single-step chemical activation process was applied involving irradiation with microwave energy and impregnation with KOH. The average percentage yield of AC from active landfill precursor was higher than that from closed landfill ...

Torrefaction of Sewage Sludge: Kinetics and Fuel Properties of Biochars

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
We propose a ‘Waste to Carbon’ thermal transformation of sewage sludge (SS) via torrefaction to a valuable product (fuel) with a high content of carbon.

Proof-of-Concept of Spent Mushrooms Compost Torrefaction—Studying the Process Kinetics and the Influence of Temperature and Duration on the Calorific Value of the Produced Biocoal

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Poland, being the 3rd largest and growing producer of mushrooms in the world, generates almost 25% of the total European production. The generation rate of waste mushroom spent compost (MSC) amounts to 5 kg per 1 kg of mushrooms produced. We proposed the

Characterization of Activated Carbon from Industrial Solid Waste Agar with a Different Activator Concentrations

open access: yesOmni-Akuatika, 2020
Production of seaweed processing generates a huge amount of waste, either waste solid or liquid waste. For solid waste contains a lot of organic carbon derived from cellulose or hemicellulose.

Waste to Carbon Energy Demand Model and Data Based on the TGA and DSC Analysis of Individual MSW Components

open access: yesData, 2019
The pioneering developed simplified mathematical model can be used to determine the energy consumption of the torrefaction process. Specifically, the energy balance model was developed for torrefaction of municipal solid waste (MSW; a combustible ...

Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of a bioreactor landfill using Feel++ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, we propose a mathematical model to describe the functioning of a bioreactor landfill, that is a waste management facility in which biodegradable waste is used to generate methane.

Waste to Carbon: Densification of Torrefied Refuse-Derived Fuel

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
In this work, for the first time, the feasibility of obtaining carbonized refuse-derived fuel (CRDF) pelletization from municipal solid waste (MSW) was shown. Production of CRDF by torrefaction of MSW could be the future of recycling technology.
