In order to set a reference inventory data, an extensive literature search on compost production and compost utilization has been performed. The aim is to define carbon and energy footprint of bio-waste recycling and compost utilization. The available data suggest that when bio-waste is properly collected and recycled (through composting or anaerobic digestion) and a high quality compost is pro...

The article discusses the issues of increasing energy efficiency processing agricultural waste in a gas generator. main goal this technological process is production fuel from waste. This generator gas. value or calorific depends on elementary composition solid being processed (straw, animal droppings, peat, wood, carbon-containing industrial waste, etc.) and also conditions under which chemica...

The developed unit, which implements the technology of separation raw materials into useful components by thermal destruction, makes it possible to obtain fuel synthesis gas, in carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ) predominate, suitable for use internal combustion generators generating electrical energy, as well saturated ash potassium (K) phosphorus (P) a fertilizer agriculture.

This paper presents the investigation of metals production form artificial ore, which consists of printed circuit board (PCB) waste, processed in plasmatron plasma reactor. A test setup was designed and built that enabled research of plasma processing of PCB waste of more than 700 kg/day scale. The designed plasma process is presented and discussed. The process in tests consumed 2 kWh/kg of pro...

Waste reduction is a primary environmental protection policy in North Carolina. This manual is directed at small or medium-sized businesses such as yours and provides guidance for developing or expanding Waste reduction is defined and described briefly in the first chapter of the manual, and the benefits of waste reduction are highlighted. Two primary benefits of pursuing waste reduction are en...

Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system is considered as a promising technology for energy recovery from the waste heat rejected by internal combustion (IC) engines. However, such waste heat is normally contained in both coolant and exhaust gases at quite different temperatures. A single ORC system is usually unable to efficiently recover energy from both of these waste heat sources. A dual loop ORC...
