Fly ash in landfill top covers – a review
Increase of energy recovery from municipal solid waste by incineration results in the increased amounts of incineration residues, such as fly ash, that have to be taken care of.
Application of mechanochemistry to metal recovery from second-hand resources: a technical overview
This work mainly discusses mechanochemistry as a promising method to recycle metal from second-hand resources, in order to meet the huge imbalance between metal demand and its reserve in nature.
The presence and leachability of antimony in different wastes and waste handling facilities in Norway
A comprehensive assessment of antimony in diverse waste-, leachate- and air-samples revealed plastic-containing waste and bottom ash release the most.
Spatio-temporal impacts of dairy lagoon water reuse on soil: heavy metals and salinity
Heavy metal and salinity impacts on soil from dairy lagoon water reuse are monitored using geospatial apparent soil electrical conductivity measurements.
Mobility and biodegradability of an imidazolium based ionic liquid in soil and soil amended with waste sewage sludge
Sorption on solids and biodegradation are main phenomena that can mitigate the pollution of soil and water by ionic liquids (ILs).
About this collection
Guest Edited by Dr Hans Peter Arp (Norwegian Geotechnical Institute), this themed collection addresses a wide range of concerns related to how current changes in waste handling and management are impacting the environment at the global and local level.
Topics include all types of waste, waste management, recycling practices and pollution. These studies contribute to our understanding of the complex relationship between waste handling processes and resulting environmental impacts.
We hope you enjoy reading this collection.
