Abstract:

Current concepts of environmental waste focus on the total production of waste from a production plant or industrial setting and the subsequent consequences on the natural environment. Hence, there is an emphasis on containing waste within the industrial boundaries and applying a post-production process to clean it up. However, waste is generated by individual processes within the production system and can be more effectively treated at this individual site level. Therefore, focused management of environmental waste reduction requires that production engineers first know what the environmental

Abstract:

Accelerated carbonation involves exposing a material to a concentrated atmosphere of carbon dioxide, and can be used to treat hazardous wastes and soils and create new construction materials. The present work examines the use of accelerated carbonation to reduce the hazardous properties of wastes as a means of reducing the costs of disposal to landfill, and then develops the process to manufacture aggregate from the waste removing it from landfill disposal completely . A range of thermal wastes, including those from cement, metallurgical and paper processes, were found to be reactive with carb

Abstract:

Accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) could be used for the stabilisation of hazardous wastes, remediation of contaminated soils and re-use/recycling of various waste streams. ACT has also potential for storing anthropogenic CO2 emissions into mineral silicates and alkaline waste residues via mineral or waste carbonation. Compared to ocean and geological storage, mineral and waste carbonation offer several advantages such as long-term storage and low monitoring requirements. Currently, the biggest challenge of mineral carbonation is the low conversion rate of calcium and magnesium-based min

This research addresses gaps in current knowledge regarding process issues associated with long term semi-continuous digestion of food waste as a sole substrate, and the role of trace elements and biomass retention in digestion of food wastes. Source segregated food wastes were collected from a university catering facility and found, in characterisation studies, to have a total solids (TS) content of 28.1±0.25 %, a volatile solids (VS) content of 95.5±0.06% of TS and a chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 422±16 g kgwet weight -1.

Anaerobic digestion technology has not gained widespread acceptance on UK farms due mainly to the long return on investment periods involved.

Batch and continuous digestion of cattle slurry and organic industrial wastes was carried out in specially constructed pilot plant digesters, to determine optimum mixtures of waste and digester loading rates. A total of 10 different wastes were tested, on a batch digestion basis, for their potential to co-digest with cat

The environmental impacts of coal processing wastes are a challenge in South Africa as large amounts of coal wastes are produced annually, pegged at 60 million tons per year according to Eberhard (2011). Whilst the fossil fuel-based industry is in decline globally, coal is likely to remain the dominant source of power in South Africa. The major environmental impacts reported in several studies are water pollution and soil quality degradation due to acid rock drainage (ARD) and its associated elevated levels of elements and salts.

Abstract:

The contamination of the environment has led to a need to develop innovative processes to remediate the contaminated sites. This research developed two processes for remediating soils contaminated with metal wastes. The four primary metal contaminants were chromium, nickel, cadmium and copper. Only chromium exceeded the EPA required action levels. Both processes utilized mineral processing techniques to make a size separation since the majority of the contamination existed within the fines or minus 20 micron material. This size separation reduced the amount of soil requiring further treatment.

Hydraulic conductivity is a measurement of the ease of movement of a fluid through a medium and is therefore a key parameter in the design of landfill leachate management systems. Hydraulic conductivity of landfilled wastes may be affected by several factors such as overburden stress from the weight of overlying waste, water content, the type, age and pre-processing of the waste, and the presence of landfill gas. A further factor that may affect leachate movement through wastes is the predominantly horizontal orientated structure of compacted wastes. This anisotropic structure may result in hy

AD of OFMSW also saves landfill space and reduces leachate generation and fugitive methane emissions from landfills.

Abstract:

The EU landfill directive requires the amount of wastes going to landfills to be reduced signifi-cantly in compliance with the sustainable waste management principles. However, the disposal has been and will continue to play a significant role, and the overall aim is an improved design and operation of the landfill sites, and reduction of their negative environmental impact towards sustainable landfilling. Waste has been recognised by other researchers as the primary structural element in landfills; therefore for better understanding of its behaviour, the physical and engineering properties of
