Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are a newly emerged technology for energy-efficient water and wastewater treatment. Much effort as well as significant progress has been made in advancing this technology towards practical applications treating various types of waste. However, BES application for agriculture has not been well explored. Herein, studies of BES related to agriculture are reviewed a...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used extensively within the recent decade to evaluate the environmental performance of thermal Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technologies: incineration, co-combustion, pyrolysis and gasification. A critical review was carried out involving 250 individual case-studies published in 136 peer-reviewed journal articles within 1995 and 2013. The studies were evaluated wit...

Abstract Several issues such as environment, finance, and policies in the development of Waste to Energy (WtE) Indonesia require strategic appropriate handling. This study offers a promising solution by integrating WtE incineration process with carbon mineralization one Carbon Capture, Utilization, Storage (CCUS): adding CO 2 capture technology existing system will be reacted fly ash residue pr...

SUMMARY: In Europe almost 80 million tons of waste are annually combusted in Waste-to-Energy plants. Solid residues generated thereby contain altogether about 69,000 t/a of Zn, of which more than 50 % accumulates in air pollution control (APC) residues. Recent research activities aiming at Zn recovery from APC residues resulted in a large scale Zn recovery plant at a Swiss waste incinerator. By...

The condition of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Malaysia, which contains excessive moisture complicate the segregation process of recycling and making the use of such technology as solid waste burning unsuitable and harmful. In addition, not much MSW pre-treatment is carried out in Malaysia to reduce the moisture content. Although Malaysia’s first waste-to-energy plant has proven to be relative...
