    Waste management

    The study aims to provide comprehensive guidance to policy makers and practitioners in developing countries [Non-Annex I countries to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)] for the preparation of national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories for the waste sector. Though GHG emissions from the waste sector are still comparatively low compared to other sectors, they are continuously rising in developing countries due to changing production and consumption patterns. Experience shows that emissions from this sector can be reduced significantly at relatively low costs.

  • System for More Efficient Anaerobic Digestion of Waste

    Technology
    Food
    Agricultural waste

    Background: Traditionally landfills have been a common method of waste disposal. Unfortunately landfills produce large amounts of hazardous gasses and tend to pollute underground water supplies surface streams and wells. Furthermore due to the slow stabilization of waste landfills may not be used for other purposes for long periods of time and are thus a large waste of land particularly in metropolitan areas. Other approaches to waste disposal use anaerobic digestion of organic waste. Current methods of anaerobic digestion involve pumping liquid between bioreactors.

  • A Zirconium(IV)-Manganese(IV) Binary Oxide Adsorbent for Efficient Removal of Arsenate and Arsenite from Aqueous Solutions

    Technology Overview: Adsorbents for removing contaminants typically include activated carbon metal oxides like titania (TiO2) iron oxide etc. The present technology provides an environmentally friendly method in preparing alternative group of metal oxides as effective adsorbents for heavy metal contaminants. A binary and ternary metal oxide has been tested to effectively adsorb/remove aqueous contaminants like arsenic (As) lead (Pb) and copper (Cu). Such adsorbent(s) can be conveniently used as fine particles with filtration or can be loaded on porous carriers and used in column.
