Journal ArticleDOI
Municipal solid waste management and waste-to-energy in the context of a circular economy and energy recycling in Europe
Jurgita Malinauskaite,Hussam Jouhara,Dina Czajczyńska,Dina Czajczyńska,P. Stanchev,Evina Katsou,Pawel Rostkowski,Rebecca Jayne Thorne,Joan Colón,Sergio Ponsá,Fouad Al-Mansour,Lorna Anguilano,Renata Krzyżyńska,I. C. López,A. Viasopoulos,Nik Spencer +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an overarching review of national municipal waste management systems and waste-to-energy as an important part of it in the context of circular economy in selected countries in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing biogas production by thermal (70 °C) sludge pre-treatment prior to thermophilic anaerobic digestion
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of low temperature pre-treatment on the efficiency of thermophilic anaerobic digestion of primary and secondary waste sludge was investigated, and the results suggest that a short period (9 h) low-temperature pretreatment should be enough to enhance methane production through thermophilicity of sludge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Olson,Christophe Piscart,Narcís Prat,Sergio Ponsá,Claus-Jürgen Schulz,A. J. Timpano +24 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that salinity standards for specific ions and ion mixtures, not just for total salinity, should be developed and legally enforced to protect freshwater life and ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI
In search of a reliable technique for the determination of the biological stability of the organic matter in the mechanical-biological treated waste.
Raquel Barrena,Giuliana D'Imporzano,Sergio Ponsá,Teresa Gea,Adriana Artola,Felícitas Vázquez,Antoni Sánchez,Fabrizio Adani +7 more
TL;DR: The results obtained in this study can be a basis for the quantitative measurement of the efficiency in the stabilization of organic matter in waste treatment plants, including MBT plants, anaerobic digestion of MSW and composting plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of aerobic and anaerobic stability indices through a MSW biological treatment process
TL;DR: The methodology proposed can be used for the characterization of organic wastes and the determination of the efficiency of operation units used in mechanical-biological waste treatment plants.
