The municipal solid waste incineration sector in Europe: a study of harmonisation and its impact
This article discusses how Sustainable Development and Quality Management meet a common target. Companies that excel in Best Available Technology (BAT) respond to expanding sets of expectation of the client and of the legislator. The paper analyses the link between governance, lobbying, and the emergence of economic and environmental feasibility of current quality management factors. In ...

Effect of drying on leaching testing of treated municipal solid waste incineration APC-residues
Air-pollution-control (APC) residues from waste incinerators are hazardous waste according to European legislation and must be treated prior to landfilling. Batch and column leaching data determine which type of landfill can receive the treated APC-residues. CEN standards are prescribed for the batch and column leaching test; however, these standards do not specify whether or not the residue ...

Artificial carbonation for controlling the mobility of critical elements in bottom ash
In municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI), bottom ash, generated at a stoker grate type incinerator, the critical elements were identified in terms of EU regulation. The stabilizing effect of moderate carbonation (pH 8.28 ± 0.03) on critical contaminants was studied through availability and diffusion leaching protocols. Data from the performed tests were evaluated with the goal of reusing MSWI ...

Improved understanding of the pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash with Ca(OH)
2solutionThe study aims at investigating pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash in a saturated Ca(OH)2 solution at various times. The raw and water–washed fly ashes were selected for the pozzolanic solidification experiment to which mass ratios of the solution to ash (ml/g) were adjusted to be 3 and 10, whereas the solidification times were set from 7 to 28 days and from one to three months. From the XRD ...

Waste incineration for urban India: valuable contribution to sustainable MSWM or inappropriate high–tech solution affecting livelihoods and public health?
Urban India is facing huge challenges in terms of population growth and resultant infrastructural needs. Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) still remains a challenge for urban local bodies. Municipal solid waste (management and handling) rules, 2000 was a first step in India towards organising the system, but till date the systems are largely insufficient and/inefficient. Focus on the urban ...

Waste to Energy: RDF(Refuse-derived Fuel)
At present, the main ways of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment are landfill, composting, incineration, and so on. But these treatments still require a lot of lands. RDF preparation technology has obvious advantages in environmental protection and resource utilization, and will be better developed in the future. It brings vitality to waste energy and becomes a new growth point in the field of ...

What materials can be incinerated?
What Is Incineration? Incineration is the process of burning waste material at a high temperature as a way of disposal. This process is also known as ‘thermal treatment’. Incineration is now seen as an essential part of any waste reduction plan to minimise waste and the amount of waste that goes to landfill. What materials can I put into an Incinerator? When a material is burnt it ...

Advanced, integrated systems meet the challenges of commercial-scale operation
Technological frontiers in die alternative energy industry continue to widen in countries around the globe. As such, die exploitation of biomass as a source of energy has become die fastest-growing sector among a growing roster of energy solutions. Today, more energy is produced from various forms of biomass dian from all wind, solar and geodicrmal applications combined. Much of die excitement ...
