The study employed cross-sectional survey covering both rural and urban districts in the Ashanti and Greater Accra Regions of Ghan...

Privatization of urban services focuses often on the involvement of foreign enterprises. This contribution deals with micro-privatization, the partial transfer of government responsibility for solid waste collection to micro-enterprises. It tries to shed light on whether the current private sector participation (PSP) of micro-enterprises in solid waste collection service is the best way to capt...

Brewery spent grain (BSG), the main waste of brewery industry, is often disposed or sold as an animal feed at low prices, neglecting potential for further valorization. In this work, BSG was used first time to produce cellulose nanofiber aerogels green thermal insulating applications. Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were extracted from through microfluidization with and without TEMPO-oxidation pret...

Biogas production from co-digestion of local brewery waste (BW) and cow dung (CD) was study for value added to this solid waste. The objective of this research was to fine the optimum condition for maximum biogas production and also examined the effectiveness of the biogas residue (liquor from anaerobic digestion process) as a nitrogen source for the production of okro. The experiments were per...
