Anaerobic Digestion (AD) technology emerges as a viable solution for managing municipal organic waste, offering pollution reduction and the generation of biogas fertilisers. This study reviews research works advancements in AD implementation to effectively impact UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, critically analyses responsible waste management that contributes health safety, elevating quality life both rural urban areas and, finally, creates map outputs onto all 17 SDGs. Finally, assessment employs three sustainability pillars (i.e., economic, environmental, social perspectives) examine direct indirect links between The findings reveal substantial progress, such poverty through job creation, bolstering economic growth (SDGs 1, 8, 10, 12), enhancing agricultural productivity (SDG 2), advancing renewable energy usage diminishing reliance on fossil fuels 7), fostering inclusive education gender equality 4, 5, 9), combating climate change 13), transforming cities into sustainable harmonious environments 11, 16, 17), curbing environmental 3, 6, 12, 14, 15). Nonetheless, highlights need further efforts achieve SDG targets, particularly part liquid solid fertilisers outputs.

Enzymes-mediated solid waste management: A sustainable practice for recycling

Waste Management Bulletin, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 1(4), С. 104 - 113

Опубликована: Окт. 17, 2023

Different anthropogenic activities, extensive applications of agrochemicals, and industrialization have significantly altered natural environmental processes through the generation solid waste. Based on sources origin chemical behavior, impact waste environment varies. Currently, it is essential to tackle novel methods reduce environment. Approaches such as open burning, landfills, incineration, composting, pyrolysis are effective against waste; however, introduction sustainable efficient approaches overcome problems conventional practices. Enzyme-mediated management an extensively applicable strategy owing its specificity for catalytic reactions. remediation directly or indirectly degrades pollutants by modifying physical properties Hydrolases, lipases, oxidoreductases, oxygenases, laccases major enzymes involved in conversion hazardous wastes into non-toxic biodegradable materials. To boost activity profitable industrialization, mandatory incorporate modern strategies, omics analysis, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, that aid development new tolerant enzyme mutants with high efficiency. This review comprehensively covers recent trends enzyme-mediated biotransformation toxic materials a stable, sustainable, healthy

Emission characteristics of typical gas pollutants during oxygen-enriched waste incineration process

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 32, С. 103358 - 103358

Опубликована: Сен. 9, 2023

Oxygen-enriched waste incineration can improve efficiency and reduce pollutant generation, while greenhouse gases emission characteristics of different wastes are still unclear. In this study, actual municipal solid (MSW) typical components at oxygen concentrations moisture content were investigated to reveal the generation mechanism. The results illustrated that when increased from 21% 30%, CO, CH4 HCN emissions decreased by 95%, 95.5% 96.5%, respectively. NO 75% due promotion on fuel rapid NO. slight increase in SO2 (from 25.8% 26.87%) was organic S reaction between SO42− HCl. decrease HCl 78.42% 76.85%) caused increasing deacon reaction. Besides, with content, first because CO oxidation reforming reaction, then water-gas fixed carbon water. Furthermore, contained (66%) would promote 35.7% 9.1% through N OH radicals hydrolysis chlorine salt high temperatures. concentration inhibit influence applicability for MSW. addition, 25% oxygen-enriched selected as most suitable parameter improving combustion reducing MSW content.

Water quality prediction and carbon reduction mechanisms in wastewater treatment in Northwest cities using Random Forest Regression model

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 28, 2024

With the accelerated urbanization and economic development in Northwest China, efficiency of urban wastewater treatment importance water quality management have become increasingly significant. This work aims to explore carbon reduction mechanisms China alleviate resource pressure. By utilizing online monitoring data from pilot systems, it conducts an in-depth analysis impacts different processes on parameters. pays particular attention their impact key indicators such as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), NH4+-N, Total Phosphorus (TP), Nitrogen (TN), application predictive models. The first establishes a Random Forest Regression (RFR) model. RFR algorithm integrates Bagging ensemble learning random subspace theory construct multiple decision trees aggregate predictions, thereby enhancing model's prediction accuracy stability. Using bootstrap sampling, model generates training subsets original randomly selects variables regression trees. Its performance predicting various is then evaluated. results show that exhibits excellent performance, achieving high levels stability for all indicators. For example, R2 COD 0.99954, while values TP, TN predictions reach 0.99989. Compared five other models, demonstrates best across indicator predictions. provides critical support optimizing technologies developing policies.
