The thermal treatment of waste using grate-based systems has gained global acceptance as the preferred method for sustainable management of residual waste.This is because the energy content of the waste is utilized an...
In the context of circular economy,it is known that once waste is generated,it should be subject to proper treatment for recovering material or energy before being disposed.Many countries worldwide,especially developi...
The waste-to-energy(WTE)technologies are now recovering energy and materials from over 300 million tonnes of municipal solid wastes worldwide.Extensive studies have investigated substituting natural construction mater...
The project was financially supported(Code:SRIC/TOUR/AIR/17-18/3)by the Sponsored Research and Industrial Consultancy(SRIC),IIT Kharagpur,India for performing the field studies at Visakhapatnam.
Municipal solid waste(MSW)generation and characterization are the basic inputs for waste handling and treatment systems design.In present research,we performed waste characterization investigations in Visakhapatnam(In...
Generally,plastics pose a variety of environmental impacts due to their increased use and non-biodegradability.End-of-life treatment is a viable way of recovering energy from plastics while at the same time reducing t...
Our most sincere thanks to the São Paulo Research Foundation(Fapesp)for funding this work[Grant number 24234-1].
Burning down on semi-solid by-product from distillation of cellulosic ethanol to power upstream steps of its manufacturing is usual.However,this feedstock is homogenous in size and shape,hygroscopic and poorly energet...
The re-use of glycerol from biodiesel industry as an alternative lubricant for making high-performance briquettes is usual.However,the technical performance of this agro-industrial residue is not consistent.This study...

Despite the National Policy for Solid Waste(PNRS)in 2010,nothing has changed to waste disposal in Brazil.Planned to reach 100%of all Municipal Solid Waste(MSW)collected and treated in landfills by Aug.2nd,2014,until n...
This study was supported by the Global WTERT Council (Columbia University) and was initiated based on the thesis by Olivier Morin(www.wtert.org,Publications),Earth Engineering Center,Columbia University.
In recent years,the Chinese waste-to-energy(WTE)industry is growing at the rate of about thirty new plants each year.The municipal solid waste(MSW)fuel has a low heating value of 4-7 MJ/kg,in comparison to about 11 MJ...
Marine plastic pollution has become a major threat to the ecosystem.The increasing production and use of plastic,combined with limitations of waste management practices,mean the leakage of plastic waste into the envir...
