Due to various ecological problems, it is required remove the ammonia nitrogen from wastewater. Industrial wastewater that was not subjected any purification used in this study, while most processes described literature were carried out using synthetically prepared solutions. The study investigated removal of ammonium ions ion exchange on commercial minerals, 3 h long batch ion-exchange experiments. Furthermore, research sodium chloride activation selected mineral conducted. screening with...
The replacement of fossil fuel with renewable energy sources seems as though it will be crucial in the future. On other hand, waste generation increases year by year. Thus, waste-to-energy technologies fit actual trends, such circular economy. type generated is municipal solid waste, which research area. Regarding organic fraction (OFMSW), anaerobic digestion (AD) allows recovery biogas and energy. Furthermore, if supported source segregation, should allow material fertilizer. AD process...
Sewage sludge is a residue of wastewater processing that biologically active and consists water, organic matter, including dead living pathogens, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, as well inorganic pollutants. Landfilling on the decline, giving way to more environmentally friendly utilisation routes. This paper presents results two-stage gasification–vitrification system, using prototype-entrained flow plasma-assisted gasification reactor along with ex situ plasma...
Six European limestones and one dolomite were tested for CO2 capture by simulating calcium looping cycles both in a lab-scale fluidized bed (FB) thermo-gravimetric (TG) apparatus. The FB tests carried out under severe conditions representative of process with calcination an oxy-firing environment (T = 940 °C, 70% CO2). TG performed somewhat milder 900 15% Carbonation the same two types experiments 650 effect presence SO2 (during carbonation) at different concentration levels was also studied...
Sewage sludge is a waste from the water treatment installations. It used in agriculture. However, due to various environmental restrictions, not all of sewage can be utilized within that sector. Using this resource as sustainable energy source might an interesting alternative landfilling. Some fuel-related properties make it difficult fuel without preprocessing. Torrefaction promising pretreatment technique could prove itself suitable for improving sludge. Additives obtaining some further...
Abstract This article contains results of an experimental study on the efficiency brown coal drying process in a fluidized bed conducted by means warm air. It also presents mathematical modelling different dryer construction. The allowed for determination optimal construction (i.e., its shape and size), taking into consideration intensity mass heat exchange. On basis research, laboratorial was constructed. Next, several tests were carried out using two coals particle sizes air temperatures,...
The gasification and torrefaction of sewage sludge have the potential to make thermal utilization fully sustainable, thus limiting use expensive fossil fuels in process. This includes sustainability terms electricity consumption. Although a great deal work has been performed so far regarding some investigations area its torrefaction, there is still gap influence on subsequent gasification. study presents results from tests, pilot scale reactor, as well two consecutive steam an allothermal...
To make a beer there are four essential ingredients needed: water, malt, hops, and yeast. After brewing process, the main wastes spent grains. These often used as additions to fodders in animal husbandry. This study presents preliminary results of an investigation aiming determine feasibility alternative use grains potential source solid fuel. energy could breweries partly sustainable terms their supply. Such approach may be feasible especially large scale industrial breweries. encouraging...
This study examines the sustainable decomposition reactions of benzene using non-thermal plasma (NTP) in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor. The aim is to investigate factors influencing process, including input power, concentration, and residence time, through kinetic modeling, reactor performance assessment, machine learning techniques. To further enhance understanding modeling researchers determine apparent rate constant, which incorporated into model novel theoretical plug flow...
This study proposes an innovative installation concept for the sustainable utilization of sewage sludge. The aim is to prove that existing devices and technologies allow construction such by integration a dryer, torrefaction reactor gasifier with engine, thus maximizing recovery waste heat installation. also presents results drying tests, performed at commercial scale paddle dryer as well detailed analysis process dried Both tests identify potential problems could occur during operation....
This study compares a staged thermal processing of the sewage sludge, with single step, integrated processing.

Due to the increasing installed power of intermittent renewable energy sources in European Union, operation flexibility generating units system is necessary. This particularly important for systems with relatively large wind and solar. Plasma technologies can be used that purpose. Nonetheless, wide implementation such technology should economically justified. paper shows use plasma feasible, based on results a net present value analysis. The cost installation itself had marginal effect Based...
