Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is commonly used as a filter material in the brewery industry. Spent (SDE) an industrial waste generated after filling DE pores with impurities from brewing industries during filtration. After final filtering process, this SDE disposed into dumping areas, causing numerous environmental concerns. has been recently reported substitute for clay brick production. Incorporati...

Cities are a key system in anthropogenic phosphorus (P) cycling because they concentrate both P demand and waste production. Urban agriculture (UA) has been proposed as a means to improve P management by recycling cities' P-rich waste back into local food production. However, we have a limited understanding of the role UA currently plays in the P cycle of cities or its potential to recycle loca...

Background and Purpose: Improper wastewater and solid waste management in rural areas could be a risk to human health and environment pollution. One percent of Iran’s rural area is connected to the wastewater collection network. Solid waste management in rural areas of Iran is mainly consisted uncontrolled dumping and open burning. The aim of this study is prioritization of wa...

This paper describes and examines the schemes established in five EU countries for the recycling of packaging waste. The changes in packaging waste management were mainly implemented since the Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste entered into force. The analysis of the five systems allowed the authors to identify very different approaches to cope with the same problem: meet the r...

This presentation discusses the ecological optimisation of municipal waste management (WM) systems. The purpose is to help local decision-makers in designing the integrated waste management solutions that are optimal from the ecological point of view. The study uses the life cycle methodology (LCA) for building a model and testing different waste management scenarios in order to see whether the...

a new, local agro-industrial waste was valorized by chemical treatment and tested for its ability to remove cationic dye from aqueous solution. tendu (diospyros melanoxylon) leaves refuse, a solid waste from bidi industry which caused disposal problem, was studied as a biosorbent. raw tendu waste (tlr), along with sulfuric acid carbonized tendu waste (tlr-cm) and tendu waste treated with dilute...

Renewable energy is an increasing need in our society. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a new method for treating wastewater and simultaneously producing electricity. In the present study, we demonstrated the feasibility of bioelectricity generation from brewery wastewater treatment using a mediator less MFC at different pH. We also demonstrated that addition of readily utilizable substrat...

The production of beer yields a number by-product streams, with spent brewers’ yeast being the second most abundant in volume. high nutritional value has seen large proportion used for both food and feed purposes. One uses human consumption been spreads, which came onto market early 20th century, first United Kingdom shortly thereafter commonwealth dominions, especially Australia New Zealand. I...

The ultimate responsibility for the collection and disposal of municipal solid waste rests with local government. As regional planning developed, more counties and states assumed some or all of this re­ sponsibility. The Federal Government has not, to date, provided the broad financial support for solid waste systems now available for municipal waste water systems. Their participation has been ...

Anaerobic digestion of brewery wastewater solids in the form of primary sludge was investigated for its potential as a source of energy (methane). We operated a low-rate (hydraulic retention time (HRT)=solids retention time (SRT)) continuously stirred anaerobic digester (CSAD) and a high-rate (SRT>HRT) anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) in parallel for 250 days. We found that high-rate a...
