Published: Jan. 1, 2024

While Deltas represent about 5% of the global land surface, they occupy over 550 million people (i.e., a high population density). The Delta area, which is characterized by flat topography, fertile alluvial soils, and abundant natural resources, vital for human habitation. However, this area subjected to diverse anthropogenic threats, owing climate change vulnerability. delicate equilibrium delta ecosystems threatened as activities escalate (e.g., illegal solid-waste dumping), necessitating innovative solutions. This chapter includes main concluding remarks on evolution waste management practices within Deltas, emphasizing significance sustainable approaches balance ecological socio-economic aspects. As continue confront dynamic seasonal challenges, book tends provide foundation promoting resilient in solid (SWM) these ecosystems.

In the current scenario in many cities, huge quantities of biowaste solid matter are generated, making it a big challenge to keep our cities smart/clean without creating health issues. The second is mitigate biowastes from municipalities, and needs systematic valorization/conversion approaches transform/generate them into clean/least carbon-emitting fuel sources. This effort can help make smart with additional amounts energy generation that be used by each citizen for their daily needs. reported as food waste (from domestic kitchens restaurant/hotel), green plant residues parks other cleaning activities), miscellaneous Due these biowastes, respective look dirtier also show poor level development. So, people municipal authorities some research groups have start converting this renewable sustainable reduce accumulation through promotion bioenergy valorization approaches, biological (anaerobic digestion) thermochemical (like pyrolysis) processes common, applied mitigation minimize negative impact on environment its components. India, states, like Madhya Pradesh, put efforts biogases hydrogen generated biowastes. review, we emphasize different sources volumes/quantities, factors/activities generations, conversion fuels goal achievement. Now matters, take-home concept/message regarding conversion/recovery, extraction energy/other valuable products home It helps clean, smart, rich revenue

A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms associated with pelletization an anaerobic digestate is necessary to optimize pellet production process and achieve better more sustainable management digestate. This work evaluated behavior during cyclic loading unloading in a closed matrix. The results presented here are continuation those observed previous that effect moisture content on under loading/unloading conditions distribution permanent elastic strain energy demonstrated study was verified present different conditions. Zwick universal machine used for experiments. samples were loaded amplitudes 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 kN 10 cycles. Two distinct levels digestate—10% 22%—were analyzed. confirmed dissipated independent remained relatively constant wide range applied loads. Higher values higher only when loads applied. In studied loads, characteristic differences noted curves regardless load magnitude. increase led strength, but 10%. strength reflect well irreversible conclusions about area enclosed between curves.

Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that transforms high-strength organic effluents into biogas with multiple benefits. However, concurrent organics' transformation, liquid phase high solid content also derived from this process. Valorizing fraction not an easy task if agronomic application cannot be considered as suitable option. The thermal valorization of allows for energy extraction, but gives rise to additional capital investment and increases the demand global In addition, treatment digestate has deal mineralized material. changes in matter due anaerobic stabilization were studied present manuscript, by evaluating behavior samples, activation transformation using FTIR spectroscopy. Digested samples mixture composed manure glycerin (5% v/v) studied. caused dramatic decrease aliphatic compounds, greatly increasing mineral sample. Thermal digestates must consider lower more complex structure these materials, higher lignin protein-type compounds.
