Waste management generated from a Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) plant using copper-based materials is analyzed by two ways: the recovery and recycling of the used material and the disposal of the waste. A copper recovery process coupled to the CLC plant is proposed to avoid the loss of active material generated by elutriation from the system. Solid residues obtained from a 10 kWth CLC proto...

At the present day in Russia the change of ferrous metals production technology results in the change of the chemical composition of solid waste from iron and steel works. Traditional approaches to waste recycling methods stop meeting the requirements of geoecological safety. The paper offers a methodology of usage of the ferrous industry waste taking into consideration a life cycle of the mate...

the main problem of solid waste management system in tehran is to handle a large amount of waste (7.641 ton/day in 2008). therefore, source reduction can be introduced as one of the first priority for solid waste management in tehran. this research represents the first attempt to quantify the source reduction potential in the city, and subsequently, outlines the principle guidelines, legislatio...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is the natural result of human activities. MSW generation modeling is major significant in municipal solid waste management system planning. Predicting the amount of generated waste is difficult task because it is affect by various parameters. In this research, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was trained and tested to weekly waste generation (WWG) model in Sari’s cit...

The management of solid waste has become an urgent problem in nations with a great population density. Accordingly, waste reduction through source reduction and recycling has become increasingly important. Our purpose is to show how prevention, recycling and disposal of waste could be part of a theory of the firm. We first derive efficient production functions from production processes with was...

background and purpose: due to the lack of accurate statistics on the amount of waste generated in the energy production sector in zahedan, before any planning, one should identify all waste producing centers associated with the energy sector and also the quantity and quality of their waste in zahedan. materials and methods: this research is a cross-sectional descriptive study. it examined the ...

www.aana.com/aanajournalonline The goal of this project was to optimally sort waste material in the operating room (OR) environment and divert waste such that streams of low-cost disposal, including recyclable material, could be maximized. Using the Lean Six Sigma method, we followed 5 steps to define, measure, analyze, improve, and control. Descriptive statistics were used to describe OR chara...

background: the first step of solid waste management is identification of its composition and the amount of solid waste production per capita. the aim of this research was to estimate the quantity of solid waste production at mazandaran university of medical sciences and the possibility of recycling. methods: this study was a cross-sectional study. the quantity of solid waste production was mea...

conclusions considering the weight percentage of food wastes (70%), solid wastes of babolsar city could be used for composting. also as large quantities of infectious wastes were produced by hospitals of babolsar, it is recommended that sterilization systems (hydroclave) be used for decontamination of these hazardous wastes. materials and methods this study was a descriptive and cross-sectional...

IN T R O D U C T IO N Reduced to its simplest terms, solid waste collection and disposal consists of the acceptance of the solid waste from processes of human life, the transportation of such material to disposal sites, and the process­ ing and disposal of the material so that nuisances are not created. The entire process must be carried out in such a manner that the public health of the commun...
