Chemical pretreatment is a common method to enhance the cumulative methane yield (CMY) of lignocellulosic waste (LW) but its effectiveness is subject to various factors, and accurate estimation of methane production of pretreated LW remains a challen...
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...
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...
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 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-...
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...
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...
