Valorisation of waste polyethylene by blending with ethylene-vinyl acetate and incorporation of a new type of compatibilizer

(Corresponding) Simon-Stőger L., Varga C.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
Nowadays polyethylene is one of the polymers produced in the greatest volume, therefore, parallelly the amount of generated waste polyethylene (w-HDPE) significant as well. Valorisation and recycling of w-HDPE can be realized by blending with different types of polymers and/or elastomers in order...Read more

Application of Risk Analysis to landfills: the experience of Brescia (Italy)

(Corresponding) Vaccari M., Gibellini S., Arnaboldi G.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
In the Italian authorization procedure for the construction of a landfill, the Risk Analysis is mandatory in case of request for derogation from the current legislation (D.M. September 27, 2010), in order to demonstrate that there is no risk for the environment. This contribution describes the...Read more

Co-Pyrolysis of Plastic Wastes: Effects of Temperature and Feedstock Ratio on Chemical Composition of Liquid Product

(Corresponding) Özçakır G., Karaduman A.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
Co-Pyrolysis of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Polystyrene (PS) was carried out in a semi-batch glass reactor system. Effects of temperature and feedstock ratio on pyrolytic product yields (gaseous, liquid and solid residue) and chemical composition of the liquid were investigated. All...Read more

Development of Porous Carbon Nanomaterials from Petroleum Waste for CO2 Capture and Mineralization

(Corresponding) Jalilov A., Albaiz A., Alsaidan M.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
Herein we report on developing mineral carbonization technology using porous carbons from vacuum residue to generate products that are best suited economically for CO2 sequestration. Activating of vacuum residue using activation reagent as Ca(OH)2 and MgO mixed with KOH gives a porous...Read more

Contribution to the exploitation of oil by-products for use in the production of quality feed through the fermentation with the fungal strain LGAM P123 of basidiomyces Pleurotus ostreatus

(Corresponding) KARALIS I., ΑRAPOGLOY D., CHORIANOPOYLOS N., ILIOPOYLOS C.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
In Greece, large quantities of by-products are produced annually from urban and industrial activities among them very high olive oil productionby-products. Thus, the interest of the scientific community has focused on the utilization of olive oil waste mainly as a feed using various microorganisms...Read more

Waste to Energy Initiatives at the Local Level

(Corresponding) LIM D., BALLESTEROS F., DE SALES L.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
The problem on solid waste has been and still remains as a major problem in the Philippines especially in developing countries where proper facilities for collection and disposal are not always available. In Metro Manila alone, daily waste generation stands at 8,600 tons coming from a population 12...Read more

Determining a Probability of the uncontrolled landfills emergence in Georgia's Rural Areas Using Integrated Methodology

Buachidze N., Dvalishvili N.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
In this work, with the support of the local municipality, we’ve collected for each highland region the data showing: the number of population, existence of the main sources causing waste, the quantity of the dumpster, the frequency of the waste removal with the relevant technic etc. Based on all...Read more

Negative role of uncontrolled landfills in Georgia in environmental pollution processes

Kuchava G., Buachidze N., Chikviladze K., Shubladze E.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
In the laboratories the special research were carried to determine the pollution level in the samples collected, which due to the direct impact of these types of landfill sites on the surrounding areas, are often the main polluters of environment. The pollution conditions were studied based on...Read more

Challenging the belief that organic waste and plastic should be diverted from landfill on climate change grounds:

(Corresponding) Hutton B., Norrish M., Horan E.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
Abstract Landfill is generally believed to have higher greenhouse gas emissions than composting or waste-to-energy. The EU Landfill Directive requires nations to progressively divert biodegradable waste away from landfill. Waste disposal in landfill is at the bottom of its Waste Hierarchy. Many...Read more
