For decades, significant work has been conducted regarding plastic waste by dealing with rejected materials in masses through their accumulation, sorting and recycling. Important political technical challenges are involved, especially respect to landfilled waste. Plastic is popular and, notwithstanding decrease policies, it will remain a material widely used most economic sectors. However, questions of recycling the contemporary world cannot be solved without knowing material, which can...
Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) composed on biomass, paper, textiles, wood, synthetic polymers and other combustible materials is an alternative energy resource to implement Waste-to-Energy strategy. The aim of this study investigate the thermal decomposition characteristics forming RDF by thermogravimetric analysis. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis components demonstrates major differences in processes behind waste components. Biomass can be divided into two distinct stages for cotton, cotton wool...
In this study, new composite materials of montmorillonite, biochar, or aerosil, containing metal–organic frameworks (MOF) were synthesized in situ. Overall, three different MOFs—CuBTC, UTSA-16, and UiO-66-BTEC—were used. Obtained adsorbents characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen adsorption porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry. Additionally, the content metallic...
The development of pyro-gasification technologies makes necessary the new express analytical methods that are able to deal with variability feedstock and problems arising from it. Thermogravimetric proximate analysis refuse derived fuels is a very fast, cheap simple method for determination fractional composition. Development this approach may result in cost-effective describe wholesome composition characteristics used pyrolysis gasification processes real time. aim study was such method....
Abstract Replacing fossil resources with bioresources is one of the promising directions for more environmentally friendly energy production, but production and processing biomass generates a large amount waste limited use recycling possibilities. In this respect Hydrothermal Carbonisation (HTC) offers sustainable cost-effective solution disposal creation new products from through resource recovery climate-neutral process. study impact type HTC conditions on yield properties artificial humic...
The proposed study is focused on an ecological analysis of Latvian coastal lagoons, emphasizing their unique but vulnerable nature. Coastal lagoons are recognized as fragile ecosystems significant ecological, social, and economic value, by the European Directive 92/43/EEC (Habitats Directive). Despite protected status, existence these can be threatened morphological, hydrological, anthropogenic changes. uniqueness determined large number influencing factors dynamics. They affected seawater,...
Nowadays information technology is widley used in studying process thus enabling students to acquire knowledge a convenient place and time. It novel approach challenge for both – the faculty of Latvian University Riga Medical College (LU RMK). In order provide develope e-learning environment LU RMK has launched Project whose main objective „to develop guidelines video training materials e-environment staff more efficient process”. Implementation project been started with pilot study „Medical...
