Tourism stimulates local economies by boosting demand for services and products, creating jobs, and increasing revenue, but it also harms the environment, ecosystems, and biodiversity, mainly through large amounts of sol...

Abstract Aiming at the problems of easy settlement and insufficient durability of traditional materials under special backfilling conditions in the northwest loess area, this study prepared controllable low-strength read...

Routing vehicles is a generic decision-making problem of strategic management in any business serving customers in distributed locations with a limited fleet including municipal solid waste collection. This paper introdu...

Abstract Proposed research presents a data-driven framework for forecasting municipal solid waste (MSW) generation and emission dynamics in Erode City, India, by employing supervised machine learning algorithms. Leveragi...

In Argentina, there is an important potential to utilize organic waste to generate bioenergy. This work analyzes the environmental impacts and the energetic and economic requirements of the biogas produced by digesting t...

Abstract Accurate prediction of bio-oil yield from pyrolysis of organic solid waste is still the main problem in the field of biomass valorization, mostly because of high variability in the composition and the heterogene...

The settling column tests and the vacuum preloading model tests are performed on the waste slurry of a construction site in Shanghai and the additive agent slurry. The sediment and turbidity characteristics of slurries w...

This study assessed the perceptions and practices of menstrual waste management (MWM) and explored the associated facilitators and barriers in schools of Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district, Telangana, India.

In Argentina, the organization of waste picker cooperatives has enabled these organizations to impose their approach and point of view in the system of waste management derived from the Integrated Solid Waste Management ...

The valorization of fishery-derived wastes through microalgal biotechnology provides a practical route to integrate wastewater remediation with high-value bioproduct generation. This study demonstrates an integrated proc...

This study examines the fast pyrolysis of rosehip seed waste (RSW) in a fluidized bed reactor, evaluating its potential for syngas production and effective waste valorization. The fluidization behavior of sand/RSW mixtur...

Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) transforms wet or dry biomass into hydrochar, generating a nutrient-rich process water, hereafter termed HTC-PW, which is often overlooked as waste. This review synthesizes curre...

The main objectives of the study are to develop a generalized thermo-electromechanical model of a solid-state heat engine based on a Ni-Ti-Cu shape memory alloy for converting low-grade thermal energy (30-100 °C) into e...

Anaerobic co-digestion of livestock waste presents a viable approach for addressing environmental challenges and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in semi-urban and rural contexts. This study focuses on the development o...

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - Cassava waste with cyanide contamination presents significant environmental and health hazards. - Cyanide hydratase, nitrile hydratase, and rhodanese are microbial enzymes essential in the degradatio...

The co-production of bio-char and upgraded bio-oil by fast pyrolysis of raw and sulfuric-acid pretreated agro-industrial wastes (corn cob, sugarcane bagasse and sunfower seed hull) was investigated to valorize wastes as ...

Abstract Increasing demands for sustainable manufacturing are accelerating the need for efficient scrap reutilization routes that extend beyond conventional remelting practices. In this context, solid-state reuse of mach...

Resumo Este trabalho possui como objetivo refletir acerca da relação entre a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos e o Estatuto da Metrópole, compreendendo as implicações e os desafios previstos nessas normas par...

Recycling of construction waste is essential for sustainable cement-based materials, yet the variable composition of recycled autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) powder pose significant challenges when used in grouting app...

The increasing demand for clean energy and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have led to a growing awareness of the importance of thermal energy storage systems in the diversification of the electric mat...

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of anaerobic co-digestion of swine excreta associated with increasing doses of crude glycerin and different hydraulic retention times (HRT). A compl...

Geothermal solid waste is one of the byproduct materials from the geothermal energy process. The silica extracted from this solid waste can be utilized as a raw material for waterproof coatings. The waterproof or hydroph...

Plastic pollution is one of the most acute environmental topics of our time. While there is a great scientific effort to tackle this problem, it has not always been well-coordinated or properly targeted. In this short re...
