Plastic waste second life management requires effective detection (and sorting if necessary) techniques to tackle the environmental challenge it poses. This research explores the application of hyperspectral imaging in the spectral range 900-1700 nm ...
In some areas, there is a phenomenon that the landfill is full or even over-capacity with the extension of the service period. With the aging and damage of the protective facilities, this phenomenon may have a more serious impact on the surrounding e...
Decentralized thermal treatment is a common method for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in rural areas. However, evaluating the effect of incineration has always been challenging owing to the difficult and time-consuming measurements involved. He...
We explore the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to forecast door-to-door waste collection, addressing the challenges in municipal solid waste (MSW) management. ML models offer a promising solution to optimize waste collection operation...
The export ban on plastic waste by China has brought domestic plastic recycling to the forefront of environmental concerns, with sorting being a crucial step in the recycling process. This study assessed the performance of advanced AI models, Mask R-...
Biogas yield in anaerobic digestion (AD) involves continuous and complex biological reactions. The traditional linear models failed to quantitatively assess the interactive effects of these factors on AD performance. To further explore the internal r...
Based on operational data collected over 1.5 years from four full-scale dry anaerobic digesters used for kitchen food waste treatment, this study adopted eight typical machine learning algorithms to distinguish the best biogas prediction model and to...
The co-firing technology of combustible solid waste (CSW) and coal in the supercritical CO (S-CO) circulating fluidized bed (CFB) can effectively deal with domestic waste, promote social and environmental benefits, improve the coal conversion rate, a...
The Landfill plays an important role in urban development and waste disposal. However, landfill leachate may also bring more serious pollution and health risks to the surrounding groundwater environment. Compared with other areas, the area around the...
Waste management researchers have identified that the correct disposal of solid waste is better addressed upstream, where people properly sort their solid waste. Sorting solid waste is a practice that requires a behaviour friendly to sorting and will...
