Among the solid wastes produced by textile industry, there is a significant amount of wastes with energetic value and which are usually sent to controlled landfills, without any recovery. This traditional route corresponds to high economical and environmental costs, since wastes can be used as a source of energy and/or materials. With the recycling route strongly restricted due to the presence of mixtures of different types of polymeric compounds, some of them not biodegradable, the study of the feasibility of energy recovery from such wastes is of upmost importance and the aim of the present work. Most of the wastes are valuable resources that can be used as raw materials or as an energy source to produce heat or electricity. In this work the potentiality of energy recovery from solid wastes of some of the Vale do Ave textile units was investigated. For that purpose, wastes have been characterized for their weight loss at 105°C, calorific value and ashes content (after burning out at 850°C). The chemical composition of the ashes was determined by X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry. DSC-TGA tests were performed in two different atmospheres, air and argon, in order to evaluate the thermal behavior of the studied wastes. The characterized wastes showed calorific values not negligible, varying from 3500 to10400 kcal/kg (at dry base), similar to the results obtained by others authors and comparable to solid materials which are traditionally considered as fuels (sugar cane, lignite, etc). A weight loss at (105°C) lower than 6.5% and a maximum ashes content of 15% was achieved. However, some ashes present high contents of heavy metals, which can drives to environmental concerns. By the analysis of the thermal profiles it was found that wastes decomposition takes place at low temperatures (< 600°C) resulting in a small amount of the final solid fraction. Concerning the obtained results, the solid wastes collected from different textile units show high potential for energy recovery.

The Cost

The equipment technology to incinerate and in turn recover energy from industrial wastes is reasonably well documented via the manufacturers of the equipment involved. The difficult question for the industrial plant manager is whether the capital investment and operating costs are economically justified. This paper will review the styles of incineration and heat recovery systems which are typically applied to industrial wastes – solids, liquids, and gases – and then assess the quantity and type of waste materials which are needed to make the cost of installing that equipment economically justified.

Selection Of

Relevant and appropriate selection of best hybrid material is a challenging task for the recent industries. The mandatory criterion is to deal with the enhanced productivity with minimum cost. Therefore, this paper highlights on the comparative study between the advanced multi-criteria approaches namely ARAS, MABAC, COPRAS and MOOSRA methods for the selection of the best hybrid composite material using aluminum (Al) as base material varying different reinforcement weights and recycling with various industrial wastes by stir casting. Al/WCE gives superior tribomechanical properties at lower cost than any other reinforcements. These advanced MCDM methods are applied, based on the properties and attributes of the hybrid composites, to compare between the computational and experimental results. The results exactly corroborate with the previous research results, which authenticate the expediency of these methods during the solving of complex hybrid material selection problems for sustainable energy recovery. Out of 48 different samples, A30 is obtained to be the best sample by ARAS approach (rank 1) which is Al+Al2O3 at 12.5%wt. addition. A24 is ranked 2 which is heat treated 12.5%wt. WCE. But the same A30 is obtained to be rank 5 and A24 is obtained to be rank 1 by MABAC method, A30 is obtained to be rank 2 and A24 to be rank 1 by COPRAS method, and A30 is calculated to be rank 1 and A24 to be rank 11 by MOOSRA method. A24 is also obtained to be the best hybrid composite as per the experimentation. This paper also aims for proper recovering of environmental friendly renewable energy for the society by fabricating the best hybrid green composite for sustainable development.

Aim. To optimize the methane digestion process while using different recipes of substrate components of ag- ricultural origin. Methods. The chemical composition of separate components of the substrate of agricultural by-products, industrial wastes, fats of the agrorefi nery and corn silage was studied. Dry (organic) mass, crude protein (fat) fi ber, loose ash, nitrogen-free exhaust were estimated in the components and the productivity of biogas was determined along with the methane content. These data were used as a basis for daily recipes of the substrate and the analysis of biogas production at the biogas station in Kostkowice. Results. The application of by-products of agricultural production solves the problem of their storage on boards and in open containers, which reduces investment costs, related to the installation of units for their storage. Conclusions. The return on investment for obtaining electric energy out of agricultural biogas depends considerably on the kind of the substrate used and on technological and market conditions.
