This research explored the potential of waste-to-energy(WtE)technology as a sustainable solution to Nigeria’s energy deficit and waste management challenges.Various WtE technologies were reviewed,including incinerati...
Effective waste management is a major challenge for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like Maldives due to limited land availability. Maldives exemplifies these issues as one of the most geographically dispersed c...
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...

Landfill gas(LFG)generation is commonly modeled by using a first-order model.Methane generation potential(L0)and methane generation rate constant(k)are two key parameters in the first-order model.Coal-ash based defaul...
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...
