  1. Valorization of beer brewing wastes by composting. The aim of this work was to study the viability of recycling the residual yeast and diatomaceous earth (RYDE) slurry generated by the beer brewing industry by composting with animal manures, as well as to evaluate the quality of the composts obtained. Two pilot composting trials were carried out with different mixes: cow manure/RYDE slurry (Pile CM) and sheep manure/RYDE slurry (Pile SM). For all. 2017.

  2. Avaliação do efeito da recirculação de lixiviados num aterro sanitário.. Introdução: O aterro sanitário é uma técnica que aplica princípios de engenharia para confinar os resíduos numa menor área possível, reduzindo o seu volume. Deste tratamento resultam nomeadamente a produção de lixiviados, pelo que se impõe o estudo da sua recirculação.Objetivos: Fornecer uma perspetiva da prática do efeito da recirculação de lixiviados e de questões técnicas que o diferenciam dos. 2017.

  3. Refuse Derived Fuel from Municipal Solid Waste Rejected Fractions - A case Study. Portuguese legislation enforces adequate alternatives to municipal waste landfilling of organic wastes as well as others susceptible of valorisation. In the present work, the energetic valorisation of final municipal solid wastes rejected fractions is studied through the production of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). To accomplish this purpose several sampling campaigns were performed. Physical, chemica. 2017.
