This paper focuses on providing a decision support tool (DST) to enhance methane generation at individual landfill sites. To date there is no decision support tool (DST) available to provide landfill decision makers with ...

Environmental contamination comprises a complex mixture of both organic and inorganic contaminants. Understanding their distribution, behaviour and chemical interactions provides the evidence necessary to make informed ...

Contaminated land management has become a major concern for Nigeria. Sites affected by petroleum hydrocarbons from oil exploitation activities have been identified as a major environmental and socio-economic problem in ...

The effect of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) mixture consisting of silver oxide, (Agg0[Silver Oxide Nanopartical], 20 nm), titanium dioxide, (TiO2[Titanium dioxide], 30-40 nm) and zinc oxide, (ZnO, 20 nm) compared with ...

To improve our understanding into the key parameters controlling and regulating the microbial groups involved in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, particularly over multiple changes in operational conditions, triplicate ...

The use of less-sensitive energetic formulations for military training activities has driven the replacement of traditional explosive fills by a new generation known as Insensitive High Explosives (IHE). Due to their ...

Weathered petroleum hydrocarbons are a highly complex, important soil contaminant. After forty years of petroleum research, weathered hydrocarbons are still not sufficiently understood or appropriately accounted for ...

A biological early warning system (EWS) was developed to screen wastewater containing nitrification inhibitors and identify nitrifying bacteria activity reduction without relying on absolute values of sensor signals. To ...

Rotating biological contactors (RBCs) are competitive wastewater treatment technologies for small wastewater treatment works (WWTs) due to their low energy, low maintenance and capacity for ammonium removal. Due to stricter ...

Since 1950 the global plastics production increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 8.5 % and it is expected to grow in the next 5 years at a CAGR of about 4 %. The estimated amount of plastics that ended ...
