1. 1. To waste, or to resource? A comparative Life Cycle Assessment of recovering bottom ash from waste incineration for use in road construction in Malmö.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Fynn Peter Hauschke; [2020]
   Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; waste incineration; bottom ash; secondary material; road construction; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The low-carbon benefits and emissions savings from circular economy (CE) strategies are not yet well understood, yet are crucial for global development within Planetary Boundaries. Using the mineral fraction of waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as construction material in road construction is one application of a CE strategy that could lead to environmental gains by substituting energy-intensive primary material and avoiding its alternative disposal in a landfill.

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Dennis Wohlin; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of organohalogens that bioaccumulate in biota, have toxicological effects and are persistent in the environment. Because of the fluorinated carbon chain, PFASs are present in many household and industrial products. READ MORE

6. 5. Recovery of Phosphorus from Incineration of Sewage Sludge

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

   Author : Aditi Bhasin; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The primary source of phosphorus, phosphate rock, is a non-renewable resource which is expected to get exhausted in the next 50 – 100 years. Sewage sludge in Sweden constitutes 25% of the annual phosphorus in the country, making it a potentially significant source for phosphorus recovery. READ MORE
