... presents a significant threat to the sustainability of energy storage systems, as it increases reliance on virgin raw materials and weakens the principles of a circular economy. In India, informal systems contribute nearly 70% of mobile phone circulation, yet these dominant flows are often overlooked...

In this method, the consumed power (rechargeable) is based on the redox process. Field emission scanning electron...

... nature of industrial waste water characteristics and their impact on human health and environment are the most important concerns in waste water treatment. In aerobic treatment of waste water, the costs of treatment of sludge, nutrients and energy are prohibitive and, hence, pose challenges...

... formation. Several studies have effectively applied MABR technology to reduce the energy required for biological wastewater treatment, including treatments for grey water (Zhou et al., 2020a , 2020b), surface water (Li and Zang, 2018 ; Zhong et al., 2019), industrial wastewater...

... with the current pace of remedies (e.g. land reclamation), makes it hard to conclude that the oil sands industry is sustainable. The global demand for energy is expected to increase by 30% by 2040 (CAPP, 2018). Of this demand, 27% is expected to be met by oil as the largest single source of energy, where Canada...

..., particularly when it is discharged directly to the environment and leads to disturbance to the aquatic ecosystem. Therefore, conversion of WCO into commercial grade biodiesel is a great strategy for minimising environmental damages while supporting energy needs. WCO with FFA = 3·6% was provided...

...Mehran Karimpour-Fard, PhD; Sandro Lemos Machado, PhD; Hadi Hasanzadehshooiili, PhD Non-recycled plastic, as a recent potential source of energy, has a greater calorific value compared with most waste components. In this study, municipal solid wastes of the Saravan dumpsite were characterised...

...Lei Zhang; Meiqi Xu; Yang Liu Anaerobic digestion of blackwater converts waste to energy. However, due to a low hydrolysis rate, the hydraulic retention time of a digester can be several days. Here, ultrasonication (30 min) and thermal hydrolysis (at 160°C for 30 min and 2 h) were tested...

..., and since the smaller bubbles’ inside pressure is higher, and they increase the diffusion rates, allowing the water to be supersaturated with gas. (corresponding author: meegoda@njit.edu) 03 05 2018 13 11 2018 ICE Publishing: All rights reserved 2019 energy energy...

This encourages LM adoption in various landfills since more energy can be recovered from MSW...

...-chamber microbial electrochemical systems. Single-chamber microbial electrochemical systems can provide multiple benefits, including lower capital costs, easier scale-up, enhanced proton transport and less ohmic energy loss (An and Lee, 2013 ; Daud et al., 2015). Conversely, membranes appeared...
