Exploitation of Treated Municipal Wastewater in Arid Regions Irrigation for Volatile Oils Production
Radwan S., (Corresponding) Ashour E.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
To avoid any contamination risk of edible crops, the safety use of treated municipal wastewater is growing industrial non-food crops such aromatic plants to produce volatile oils for manufacturing soaps, cosmetics and perfumes, etc. Two field experiments were conducted in a sandy soil in western...Read more

Increasing the recovery of automobile shredder residue (ASR) through assimilation to a solid recovered fuel (SRF): the results of a feasibility study
(Corresponding) Ruffino B., Minardi M., Guglielmino M., Bonino F., Zanetti M.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
This study analyzes the possibility of assimilating some fractions extracted from the shredder light fraction (SLF) to a solid recovered fuel (SRF). Italian Ministerial Decree D.M. 22/2013 fixes the criteria for the assimilation in the compliance of three parameters (heating value and chlorine and...Read more
Keywords:
shredder light fraction (SLF), sieving, heavy metal, net heating value, thermal valorization
Removal of heavy metals from real mine tailings coupling electrokinetic soil flushing and Bioleaching
Acosta-Hernández I., Muñoz Morales M., Rodríguez Romero L., Villaseñor Camacho J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales F.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
In the present work, polluted mine tailings from the abandoned Pb/Zn mine of San Quintín (Ciudad Real, Spain) have been treated by an innovative in-situ bioleaching process. Bioleaching uses the capacity of certain microorganisms of oxidizing iron and/or reduce sulphur which enhance the process of...Read more

Removal of copper (II) from aqueous solution using biopolymer-based materials: Theoretical and statistical physics investigation for wastewater treatment
ELBOUGHDIRI N., FERKOUS H., ROUIBAH K., DELIM A., BOUBLIA A., ALGETHAMI J., ALQAHTANI M., JEON B., (Corresponding) Yadav Y., BENGUERBA Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pollution from heavy metals is increasingly recognized as a major threat to Earth's ecosystem. Due to the potential economic and ecological consequences, there is an urgent need to develop waste management systems and strategies for disposing of copper ions (Cu2+) from the industrial sector...Read more
