Topic:
Solid waste management
One of the most commonly used methods of recycling of spent zinc-carbon batteries is hydrometallurgical leaching with sulfuric acid. The technology is highly efficient and enables the recovery of the majority of deposited metals. Unfortunately it also generates leachates that remain after the...Read more

Topic:
Solid waste management
"Fossetto" landfill is in operation in the municipality of Monsummano Terme (Tuscany, Italy) since 1988, at its origin, it was used as a controlled landfill where mixed municipal solid waste, without any separate collection, was disposed of. Since 2003, a biogas recovery system is active...Read more
