In 2016, it was estimated that 7.4 million tonnes of plastic waste have been disposed in landfill in Europe. This waste represents an important opportunity for resource recovery through enhanced landfill mining consistent ...

Across the UK there are around 22,000 landfills sites, suggesting a significant opportunity for recovering value from previously discarded materials. Enhanced landfill mining (ELFM) has been identified as a concept to ...

Dry digestion is a suitable technology for treating organic wastes with varying composition such as the organic fraction of municipal solids waste. Yet, there is a need for further research to overcome some of the disadvantages ...

Inhibitory pathways in dry anaerobic digestion are still understudied and current knowledge on wet processes cannot be easily transferred. This study forced instability in pilot-scale digesters by operating at short retention ...

Waste wood (WW) is one of the major sources of renewable energy. However, it often contaminated with metal(loid) elements at concentrations leading to toxicity emissions and damages to facilities during thermal conversion. ...

The utilisation of micro-scale thermal treatment technologies for non-sewered applications has been emerging as a prominent route for the safe treatment and disposal of high water content hazardous feedstock. This study ...

The process of sorption enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) is an emerging technology for the production of low carbon hydrogen. The development of a suitable catalytic material, as well as a CO2 adsorbent with high ...

This study focused on the economic feasibility of two potential industrial-scale bioleaching technologies for metal recovery from specific metallurgical by-products, mainly basic oxygen steelmaking dust (BOS-D) and goethite. ...

The impact of inoculum to substrate ratio (I:S) and the addition of water and percolate on stopping inhibition in dry batch anaerobic digestion of organic fraction municipal solid waste (OFMSW) was investigated. In particular, ...
