Energetic valorization of waste tires
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-02-01)
Significant high levels of available waste tires in Brazil, which reached approximately 473 thousand tons in 2015, offer an attractive potential for their use as fuel in advanced thermal conversion processes. Technologies ...
Grapevine shoots for improving thermal properties of structural fired clay bricks: New method of agricultural-waste valorization
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017)
Valorization of animal waste from aquaculture through composting: Nutrient recovery and nitrogen mineralization
(2021-01-30)
Aquaculture production has been exponentially growing worldwide, which reflects in the generation of increasing amounts of waste materials. When poorly managed or disposed inadequately, aquaculture-derived wastes can compose ...
Bioproduction of carotenoid compounds using two-phase olive mill waste as the substrate
(Elsevier, 2017-03)
The olive oil production process by the two-phase centrifugal system generates a waste named “alperujo”, which has a high percentage of water (65%) and contains phenolic compounds. These compounds are phytotoxic and pollute ...
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and waste cooking oil (WCO): from urban wastes to potential material of construction
This study addresses the degassing of expanded
polystyrene (EPS) using waste cooking oil (WCO) to produce
a recycled EPS with potential use as construction
material. Morphological, chemical and mechanical tests
were ...
Potential of biohydrogen production from effluents of citrus processing industry using anaerobic bacteria from sewage sludge
(2017-01-01)
Citrus crops are among the most abundant crops in the world, which processing is mainly based on juice extraction, generating large amounts of effluents with properties that turn them into potential pollution sources if ...
Management strategies and valorization for waste sludge from active treatment of extremely metal-polluted acid mine drainage: A contribution for sustainable mining
(Elsevier, 2017)
This study assesses the environmental impact and the potential valorization of metal-sludge waste
generated by the active neutralization of extremely metal-polluted acid mine drainage (AMD). To this
end, two regulated ...
Grapevine Shoots for Improving Thermal Properties of Structural Fired Clay Bricks: New Method of Agricultural-Waste Valorization
For decades the construction industry has been focused on developing new materials for minimizing environmental impact and improving the building insulation envelope. The use of certain wastes as additives for construction ...
Comparative study of zeolites matrices in bio-wastes pyrolytic valorization
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2021-03)
Considering the importance of bio-wastes thermo-chemical conversion to fuel and platform molecules, three types of zeolites (ZSM-5, Beta and Y) were tested as heterogeneous catalysts. Peanut shell is a high volume agricultural ...
