Christensen O.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Turning waste into new resources in small and medium sized enterprises (SME). During a three years period (2015-2018) a project involving SME's, was carried out in corporation of six Danish municipalities, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Symbiosis Center Denmark. The project was...Read more
The Characteristics of soil contamination in industrial complex in Korea
(Corresponding) HYO JEONG L., GWAN JU J., JEONG HO C., SANG YEOP L., WON WOOK K.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
It is expected that the possibility of soil contamination will be high as industrial complex will be treated with many harmful chemicals during industrial activities. Therefore, the Korea Environment Corporation has been conducting a detailed survey of Korea’s industrial complex since 2004.
There...Read more

The mitigation of environmental impacts of high polluted effluents from tuna canning industry through eco-efficiency strategies
(Corresponding) Gutierrez M., Etxebarria S., Revilla M., Ramos S., Ciriza A., Sancho L., Zufia J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Food industry use high volume of water and energy to carry out their processes. Specifically, the fish canning industry generates effluents with high organic and saline loads, which complicates their suitable treatment before discharging to water bodies. The LIFE VERTALIM project has demonstrated...Read more

Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In this study, plastics industry wastewater (PIWW) characterized by high total and soluble chemical oxygen demand (tCOD and sCOD, up to ~2200 and ~1500 mg/L, respectively) and remarkable unbiodegradable soluble COD (usCOD, 508±224 mg/L, 31±14% of tCOD) concentrations was treated at laboratory scale...Read more
Technology Critical Elements in industrial wastes as the source of soil contamination
Rachwal M., Jablonska-Czapla M., Grygoyć K., (Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The intensive development of industry, especially the mining and metallurgy, automotive and electrical industries, as well as the growing demand, rapid consumption and "ageing" of most products, including electrical/electronic equipment, requiring regular replacement, affects the amount...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
