OBJECTIVE Although waste is traditionally assessed as a pollutant which needs to be reduced or lessened, its management is certainly necessary. Nowadays, biological fuel cells, through the direct conversion of organic matter to electricity using biocatalysts, represent a technology able to produce sustainable energy by means of waste treatment. This study aims to propose a mean to generate ener...

Light-transmitting concrete prepared by the combination of light-transmitting materials and matrix is a new building material with functions energy saving consumption reduction. In this paper, current research status scholars in field at home abroad integrated explored, so as to carry out analysis interfacial bonding performance between concrete. This paper selects acrylic material, silicate ce...

This paper describes remediation activities performed in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) on an underground storage tank (UST) from the Idaho National Laboratory’s Test Area North (TAN) complex. The UST had been used to collect radioactive liquid wastes from and for the TAN evaporator. Recent analyses had found that the residual w...

S ince 2000, the worldwide market for carbon-fiber-reinforced composite materials (CFRP) has grown from 30,500 to 43,500 tons per year. According to the latest estimates, the demand for carbon fibers will rise to some 1,300,000 tons by 2020 [1]. When preforms are used for manufacturing CFRP parts by the Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) process, up to 40 % waste accrues, resulting in a considerabl...

In the world today, the need for sustainable processes is increasing. The work of the present thesis has been focused on conversion of the cellulosic part of waste textiles into biogas and ethanol, and its challenges. In 2009, the global annual fiber consumption exceeded 70 Mt, of which around 40% consisted of cellulosic material. This huge amount of fibers is processed into apparel, home texti...
