This book was released on 2022-09-28 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2022-542/ Combustion of biomass and incineration of solid waste and sewage sludge are important parts of the energy production and waste management infrastructure in most of the Nordic countries, but they also produce substantial quantities of residual waste in terms of bottom ash, fly ash and flue gas cleaning residues which contain potentially harmful substances in various amounts. Preferably, the ashes and residues should be treated and utilised as part of the Circular Economy. The project provides an overview of the utilisation options, including environmental and treatment requirements, and of the associated technical and regulatory frameworks and practical conditions of utilisation. Compliance of combinations of treatments and applications of ashes and residues with Best Available Techniques (BAT) has been assessed, and seven Nordic BAT candidates have been proposed and described in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2024-513/ A modern society needs access to critical raw materials (CRM) that are necessary for maintaining and developing its industries, infrastructure and welfare system. Europe has been facing increasing challenges in meeting its need for these materials, which are defined by their high economic importance and significant supply risk. The implementation of the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) of EU aims to reduce this vulnerability by establishing a framework to ensure the Union's access to a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials. One important measure highlighted by this regulation is to increase CRM recycling. This report describes potential measures and instruments that may be relevant for Nordic countries and territories as tools for hitting the CRM recycling targets that CRMA introduces.

Download or read book Combustion Characteristics of Simulated Municipal Solid Wastes in a Fixed Bed written by Tamer Mohamed Ismail and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of a lifestyle system leading to zero waste is obviously appealing, and a strategy of total reuse and recycling of: "waste material" is often advocated. However, there is a growing realization that the recycling process itself produces waste, and the environmental and economic cost of recycling and reusing certain materials invalidates the "zero waste" approach as a universally viable solution. Thus, solutions must be found to deal with the part of waste that it is not practicable to recycle or reuse. The energy content of municipal waste (whether raw or classified) is about 10MJ kg-1. If the total amount of waste material in any region is around 30 million tons per year or about 1000 kg/ s, the total energy is thus 10,000MJ /s = 10,000 MW. At an electricity generation efficiency of 20%, this could provide 2000 MW plus about 6000MWof district heating. This energy source is largely biomass, which is carbon dioxide neutral, and thus does not contribute to the total atmospheric greenhouse gases. The present work includes many aspects of municipal solid waste combustion, such as the effects of moisture, particle size and ash content effects on solid particle during process rates (moisture evaporation, volatile release, and char burning rate). The COMMENT code has developed to reveal much detailed information on the combustion processes. Through experimental and numerical investigations, the combustion process of simulated MSW in bed can be better understood and the experiment results can be used to amend the mathematics model and be consulted by the application in the project. The results from modeling can show the combustion process, and make us deeply know how the heat transfers in the fuel and gas yields from fuel. At the same time, the simulation can predict the maximum temperature of waste incineration and the trend concerning combustion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial residues are obtained from all treatments of raw materials in industry during the process of mining, raw materials treatment and final usage. During these processes of enrichment, optimization and utilization of raw materials only part of the original material can be used for the dedicated application and some left-over parts remain. This contribution focuses on residues like mining overburdens, ore residues and ore processing residues like slags, but also on incineration ashes and water purification muds. Natural materials like pozzolanes, due to their potential of CO2-reduction, are also included. Based on this knowledge secondary reusable materials due to their chemical, physical and mineralogical properties can be identified. Also different characterization methods for analysing the potential for further application of these residues are included.

Download or read book Advances and Challenges in Hazardous Waste Management written by Hosam Saleh and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-03-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazardous waste poses one of the most complex and risky pollution challenges worldwide. As industrialization accelerates globally, volumes of toxic byproducts and emissions continue to grow, requiring urgent solutions. This book provides a practical overview of hazardous waste management approaches, technologies, and policies to reduce environmental and human health damage. The text begins by outlining Pakistan's current hazardous waste situation, including crucial pollution sources like the textile, fertilizer, and leather industries. It summarizes reduction efforts and persisting challenges around enforcement, technology capabilities, and lack of recycling infrastructure. The following chapters delve into biological waste management techniques and an innovative fertilizer production process utilizing steel slag waste. Case studies demonstrate the potential to convert industrial byproducts into economic resources. Several chapters focus on electronic waste (e-waste), examining landfill contamination risks in Africa and the push to transform these sites into urban mining operations. Technical contributions analyze tools like activated carbon filters to reduce toxic e-waste emissions. The book concludes with a look at winery waste recycling and closes with a chapter connecting hazardous waste management to broader sustainable development goals. Together, the chapters in this volume provide a multifaceted look at hazardous waste management strategies, current limitations, and the work still required to reduce ecological damage. The text is valuable for researchers of dangerous waste, industry operators, and policymakers looking to improve abatement practices. With its detailed case studies and technical analyses, the book offers both practical and big-picture insights to support the critical work of sustainable, effective hazardous waste management worldwide.
Download or read book Incineration Technologies written by Alfons Buekens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waste incineration is the art of completely combusting waste, while maintaining or reducing emission levels below current emission standards. Where possible, objectives include the recovering of energy as well as the combustion residues. Successful waste incineration makes it possible to achieve a deep reduction in waste volume, obtain a compact and sterile residue, and eliminate a wide array of pollutants. This book places waste incineration within the wider context of waste management, and demonstrates that, in contrast to landfills and composting, waste incineration can eliminate objectionable and hazardous properties such as flammability and toxicity, result in a significant reduction in volume, and destroy gaseous and liquid waste streams leaving little or no residues beyond those linked to flue gas neutralization and treatment. Moreover, waste incineration sterilizes and destroys putrescible matter, and produces usable heat. Incineration Technologies first appeared as a peer-reviewed contribution to the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology. It provides detailed treatment of the challenges of this technically complex process, which requires huge investment and operating costs, as well as good technical skills in maintenance and plant operation. Particular attention is paid to technologies for ensuring the complete burn-out of flue gas and residues and for controlling the resulting pollutants.
