Putting accelerated carbonation of bottom ash into practice: operation of a semi full scale continuously fed rotating drum reactor
Brück F., Schnabel K., (Corresponding) Weigand H.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
Bottom ash is the dominant residue from municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel incineration. Disposal costs chiefly depend on the leachability of trace metals and salts. The mobility of these constituents is classically minimized by ageing the material for several months. Ageing involves the...Read more
Simulated effects of streambed vegetation on river hydraulics and the habitat suitability of freshwater macroinvertebrates
(Corresponding) Theodoropoulos C., Syrmou E., Karaouzas I., Gritzalis K., Stamou A.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
We modelled the effects of flexible and rigid streambed vegetation on river hydraulics and macro-invertebrate habitat suitability in flows/discharges ranging from near-dry to floods, in the Oinoi Stream (Attica, Greece). Vegetation was mapped in spring and summer, simulated using two-dimensional...Read more
Revealing the Hidden Toxin of the Bottom Ashes from Open Municipal Waste Burning
(Corresponding) Ramadan B., Rosmalina R., (Corresponding) Rachman I., (Corresponding) Matsumoto T.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Bottom ashes caused by open waste burning (OWB) contains a large amount of metal, which can harm human health when exposed directly to human or leached into the waterways. This study aims to reveal the metal in the bottom ashes and its potential health impact. Laboratory field studies which consist...Read more
