Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Mining wastewaters, containing heavy metals such as copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), have a huge impact on the environment due to they are not biodegradable and tend to bioaccumulate in plants or living organisms. Therefore, in this work the performance of ion-exchange and solvent-impregnated resins were...Read more

A simple and flexible flowsheet process for recycling efficiently and selectively metals from spent fluid cracking catalysts
(Corresponding) Soares H., (Corresponding) Sadeghi M., (Corresponding) Jesus J., (Corresponding) Pinto E., (Corresponding) Almeida A.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Fluid cracking catalysts (FCCs) are used in the oil industry to crack large molecules into smaller hydrocarbons of interest, such as gasoline and other products. Considering the large volume of FCCs waste generated on a yearly basis (about 20 thousand tons of spent FCCs worldwide) as well as its...Read more

Hyperspectral imaging based cascade detection applied to paper, cardboard, plastics and multilayer packaging sorting
(Corresponding) Bonifazi G., Gasbarrone R., Serranti S.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Recycling of post-consumer packaging wastes involves a complex chain of activities, usually based on three main stages, that is: i) collection from households or recovery from MSW, ii) sorting and, finally, iii) mechanical recycling. This paper investigate the sorting logics, hyperspectral imaging...Read more
Cobalt and Phosphorous Recovery from Semiconductor Wastewater through Homogeneous Crystallization of Cobalt Phosphate in a Fluidized-bed Reactor
Bayon L., Ballesteros Jr. F., Segura-Garcia S., (Corresponding) Lu M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Semiconductor manufacturing involves distinct processes that generate complex wastewater streams that require treatment before it proceeds to the main wastewater effluents. The present study utilized fluidized-bed crystallization to recover resources from the combined synthetic wastewater of...Read more
Bioleaching for metal recovery from telecoms switchboard
Baniasadi M., (Corresponding) Farnaud S., Graves J., Renshaw D., Moris S.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a necessity for electronic equipment to function especially in the telecommunications industry. From a PCB for broadcasting networks to PCBs for office communications they are what makes electronic communications equipment operate. The sophistication possible with...Read more
Enabling the Total Resource Utilization (TRU) Habitat
Tsantrizos P., (Corresponding) Curry N.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Terragon Environmental Technologies Inc. has developed a suite of user-friendly technologies to treat solid and liquid byproducts of human consumption now considered “waste” and convert them into “resources” that can be re-used in the same place in which they are generated (in situ). These...Read more

An overview of the plastic waste and recycling status in Qatar
(Corresponding) Hahladakis (Chachladakis) J.
Topic:
Solid waste management
The State of Qatar has recently launched its national vision (QNV2030) underlining, therein, its full commitment to retain harmony between the main three pillars of sustainable development: economic growth, social development and environmental management. However, rapid development and "mega...Read more
