Waste-to-Energy is a challenging management in developing countries. There are many different technologies to generate electricity or heat from wastes. However, reuse and recycling are first prioritized as left a fraction of waste can be used as energy recovery. The initial cost to generate electricity from solid waste incineration is prohibitively high due to its cost of advance technology and...

Reuse, refurbishing, and recycling are the most sustainable options for handling waste materials. However, municipal solid (MSW) that is highly heterogenic, crude, contaminated, decrepit, thermal conversion in waste-to-energy (WtE) plants an option. In such plants, fuel quality of MSW difficult to predict substantial changes expected challenging incineration stability. Development new online se...

This study proposed a novel way for global greenhouse gas reduction through reusing China's waste oil to produce biofuels. Life cycle greenhouse gas mitigation potential of aviation bio-kerosene and biodiesel derived from China's waste oil in 2010 was equivalent to approximately 28.8% and 14.7% of mitigation achievements on fossil-based CO2 emissions by Annex B countries of the Kyoto Protocol i...

Gasification technology is by no means new: in the 1850s, most of the city of London was illuminated by "town gas" produced from the gasification of coal. Nowadays, gasification is the main technology for biomass conversion to energy and an attractive alternative for the thermal treatment of solid waste. The number of different uses of gas shows the flexibility of gasification and therefore all...

......Over the past two decades, chip designers have leveraged technology scaling and rising power budgets to rapidly scale performance, but we can no longer follow this path. Today, most chips are power limited, and changes to technology scaling beyond 90 nm have severely compromised our ability to keep power in check. Consequently, almost all systems designed today, from high-performance serv...

The aim of the study is to analyze three different waste treatment technologies by life cycle assessment tool. Sanitary Landfill, Incineration and gasification-pyrolysis of the waste treatment technologies are studied in SimaPro software based on input-output materials flow. SimaPro software has been applied for analyzing environmental burden by different impact categories. All technologies are...

The study aimed to analyze potential environmental burdens of different waste-to-energy technologies through LCA model. LCA model is developed by SimaPro software by considering Ecoindicator 99 method. Landfill, Incineration, Pyrolysis-Gasification and Anaerobic Digestion are analyzed by considering emission to the atmosphere per unit electricity generation. Results show that, Landfill and Inci...
