2. 1. Landfill Mining : Institutional challenges for the implementation of resource extraction from waste deposits

   Author : Nils Johansson; Joakim Krook; Mats Eklund; Myra Hird; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Landfill mining; recycling; mineral policy; institutions; transitions; mining.;

   Abstract : The overall aim of the thesis is to examine the institutional conditions for the implementation and emergence of landfill mining. The result shows that  current policy makes it difficult for landfill mining operators to find a market outlet for the exhumed material, which means that landfill mining may result in a waste disposal problem.

4. 2. Sustainable recycling of Li-ion batteries

   Author : Jędrzej Piątek; Adam Slabon; Tetyana Budnyak; Reza Younesi; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; batteries; recycling; metal recovery; adsorption; electrochemistry; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

   Abstract : Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) play a key role in today’s energy storage sector, finding applications in everyday use electronic devices, like smartphones, laptops or electric vehicles. Despite very good properties, such as high electric capacity and high number of charge-discharge cycles, eventually each battery in the world will be disposed and stored in a landfill, waiting for the opportunity to be recycled.

5. 3. Towards sustainable solid waste management in Jordan

   Author : Mohammad Aljaradin; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Solid Waste Management; Public Participation; Recycling; Landfilling; Jordan;

   Abstract : Jordan is a country with a growing population that is undergoing rapid modernization. The increased volume of solid waste and associated logistical difficulties, the steady growth in the cost of waste management and the risk to human health are sources of concern. READ MORE

6. 4. Upgrading of fine residual electronic waste by microwave pyrolysis - Material Influence

   Author : Mattias Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dielectric properties of waste; recycling; Microwave pyrolysis; WEEE; Waste electrical and electronics equipment;

   Abstract : The large and increasing volumes of waste electrical and electronics equipment (WEEE) in society today make it important to collect and recycle these materials to as high extent as reasonable. Conventional recycling methods are based on mechanical treatments such as shredding, sorting and separation. READ MORE

7. 5. Environmental assessment of incinerator residue utilisation

   Author : Susanna Toller; Jon Petter Gustafsson; Dan Berggren Kleja; Erik Kärrman; Thomas H. Christensen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MSWI bottom ash; wood ash; recycling; LCA; environmental assessment; geochemical speciation modelling; dissolved organic matter; copper Cu ; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Abstract :  In Sweden, utilisation of incinerator residues outside disposal areas is restricted by environmental concerns, as such residues commonly contain greater amounts of potentially toxic trace elements than the natural materials they replace. On the other hand, utilisation can also provide environmental benefits by decreasing the need for landfill and reducing raw material extraction. READ MORE
