PV waste (panels, batteries, electrical cables, mounting structures, and inverters) consists of elements such as mercury, cadmium, chromium, lead, copper, aluminum, fluorinated compounds, and plastics that are toxic to human health and the environment if a proper management system is not available. Although many studies worldwide have focused on PV waste management, very few have been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aims to investigate the current PV waste management system in Burkina Faso, determine stakeholder profiles, and propose strategies to enhance the existing system. Documentary research, interviews, questionnaires, and field visits were used in the methodology. The survey showed that young people, mainly under 30 years of age and with a primary education, dominate (70%) in terms of PV waste collection and repair activities, while the more technical recycling and export activities are carried out mainly (88%) by stakeholders older than 40 years and with a secondary education (60%). Among the older stakeholders, 100% are aware of the hazardous nature of PV waste, whereas 36% are young people. From an environmental perspective, the main source of contamination observed is the release of lead-rich sulfuric acids into water and soil during the collection and repair phases. During the recycling of batteries and electrical cables, toxic fumes are emitted into the air, and recycling residues rich in toxic substances are landfilled. To reduce risks to human health and the environment when managing PV waste, the introduction of legislation, the multiplication of collection points and appropriate infrastructures, the training and awareness-raising of stakeholders, and the extended responsibility of manufacturers are recommended. Studies on the economic feasibility of setting up formal management structures are needed to complete this work.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":807,"journal":{"name":"Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy","volume":"6 2","pages":"271 - 282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139516295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These TPPs contribute to about 37%–40% of the global energy requirements. Energy production, in turn, has a direct impact on the economy of any country. Apart from this boon to humankind, these TPPs combusting coal as their primary fuel also have specific environmental impacts, the major ones being water, air, and soil pollution due to unscientific disposal of high-quantity fly ash produced yearly. If we can put this ash to good use, it may assist us in mitigating the pollution caused by it. Although there are many conventional uses of fly ash, such as a pozzolanic material in the cement industry, more pathways need to be discovered to balance the high generation quantities with consumption. Therefore, a detailed description of its use in potential geoliner applications is presented in this article. A geoliner or a landfill liner acts as a virtually impenetrable layer to mitigate the leachate penetration into the underneath subsoil and groundwater, thus preventing contamination. There are presently some studies that support the use of only fly ash in such applications. Nevertheless, the properties of the geoliners using it are not so good to significantly mitigate environmental degradation owing to its high permeability and low densification tendency. The bentonite conventionally used has limited deposits and is mined intensively for its use as a natural sealant. Their deposits must also be conserved, and an alternative material that may serve similar application benefits, like bentonite, must be selected. The desired aim can be fulfilled if we blend this combustion residue with other suitable materials (such as kaolinite clay) with low permeability. Thus, the article focuses on the possibilities of blending fly ash with different clays for geoliner construction to improve the individual properties of fly ash. This will contribute to developing a scope for future scientific research in deploying these blends in natural membrane materials for various industries. Different types of geoliners that are designed to contain the disposed-off waste are also explained in detail. Additionally, a glimpse of the global fly ash market is put forward to depict its importance for various industries in this technologically advancing world. This article profoundly observes an overall environmental management aspect regarding waste utilization.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":807,"journal":{"name":"Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy","volume":"6 2","pages":"243 - 258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42768-023-00178-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139411947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Management of municipal solid waste (MSW) requires an efficient and sustainable integrated system. The integrated thermal processing of MSW is one of the best waste management techniques. In this study, energy analysis of MSW is carried out based on the material and energy balance of 2000 kg wet MSW, which contains 50% leachate. Once the leachate is removed, the dry MSW is sent for carbon content enhancement in carbonization to produce MSW-based char. Thereafter, the combustion of MSW-based char provided high heat and syngas to be used in a hydrothermal process for MSW leachate treatment. The result shows that the char fuel of MSW produces a sufficient amount of energy, 13501.29 MJ (84.55%), in the form of synthetic gas by-product, which has a big potential as an energy source. The novelty of the proposed integrated thermal system is to produce 84.55% synthetic gas by-product, which is used for electricity production, cooking, food, and heat energy for industrial purposes.

The staggering amount of food wasted each year not only wastes valuable resources but also exacerbates environmental, economic, and social challenges. Food Waste Management (FWM) consists of a complex array of criteria and sub-criteria, and treatments which seems interdependent. There is a need to evaluate the FWM with the help of important criteria and sub-criteria and treatments to address this challenge. In this study, we identified four important criteria, 21 sub-criteria, and four alternatives of FWM for the case of Malaysia using the integrated approach of literature review and expert opinions. Further, we employed the approach of Modified Fuzzy Improved Analytical Hierarchy Process (IAHP) to corroborate the interrelationships among the identified criteria and sub-criteria, and their associated treatments. This study undertakes linear normalization methods to transform data into comparable numerical values and the Geometric Mean method to handle uncertainty in human judgments. Moreover, the Centroid method is employed to convert fuzzy weights into crisp sets for ease of interpretation. The results indicate that environmental is the most essential criterion, followed by social, economic, and technical. In addition, air and water pollution is identified as the most critical sub-criteria. Black Soldier Fly is discovered as the most sustainable FWM treatment, since it performs the best while meeting all the criteria and sub-criteria assessed. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the outputs from the proposed method are robust and reliable.

Thus, in our work, furan is selected as the model compound owing to the same structure of a central oxygenate ring. Although catalytic oxidation is regarded as an effective and applicable method for the abatement of PCDD/Fs, the synthesis of low-temperature catalysts is still a challenging problem in practical applications. Considering this situation, we prepared a novel V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> catalyst modified with N-doped hierarchical porous carbon (NHPC) via a wet impregnation method. The V/T-1%NHPC catalyst could achieve expectant low-temperature performances with 50% furan conversion at 150 °C and a complete conversion at 200 °C, which decreased 23 °C and 40 °C compared to the V/T catalyst respectively. Moreover, the addition of NHPC presented lifting chemical stability during long-time test. The addition of NHPC in V/T catalysts decreased the formation of crystalline V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and increased the percentages of V<sup>5+</sup> and O<sub>lat</sub>, which improved the utilization of vanadium ions and the catalytic activity. Simultaneously, the higher binding energy shift of O<sub>lat</sub> implied more reaction possibility with other oxidise reactants. Importantly, this work proved the lifting catalytic activity by the interaction between catalysts and NHPC, and proposed the promoting effects of the N element. The results showed that the content of the pyridinic N and graphitic N in NHPC changed after combining with V/T catalyst, which played crucial roles in the excellent catalytic performance. Overall, this work provides comprehensive research of the V/T-1%NHPC catalyst toward furan oxidation at low temperature and explain the effects of N-doped biomass carbon in catalytic activity clearly, which gave a new thought to design low-temperature catalysts in PCDD/Fs degradation.

The process mimics the commercial process for hydrogen production from natural gas. Processing of the single polyalkene plastics (high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and polypropylene (PP)) produced similar H<sub>2</sub> yields between 115 mmol and 120 mmol per gram plastic. Even though PS produced an aromatic product slate from the pyrolysis stage, further stages of reforming and water gas shift reaction produced a gas yield and composition similar to that of the polyalkene plastics (115 mmol H<sub>2</sub> per gram plastic). PET gave significantly lower H<sub>2</sub> yield (41 mmol per gram plastic) due to the formation of mainly CO, CO<sub>2</sub> and organic acids from the pyrolysis stage which were not conducive to further reforming and water gas shift reaction. A mixture of the single plastics typical of that found in municipal solid waste produced a H<sub>2</sub> yield of 102 mmol per gram plastic. Knowing the gas yields and composition from the single plastics enabled an estimation of the yields from a simulated waste plastic mixture and a ‘real-world’ waste plastic mixture to be determined. The different household, commercial and industrial waste plastic mixtures produced H<sub>2</sub> yields between 70 mmol and 107 mmol per gram plastic. The H<sub>2</sub> yield and gas composition from the single waste plastics gave an indication of the type of plastics in the mixed waste plastic samples.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":807,"journal":{"name":"Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy","volume":"6 1","pages":"25 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42768-023-00173-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
