3. The recovery of energy from waste
Use of anaerobic processes for the treatment of solid waste, liquid waste and sludge and the recovery of produced biogas: conventional and advanced processes, treatment techniques, biogas management for the production of electricity and heat. Thermochemical processes for the treatment of solid waste, liquid waste and sludge and the recovery of energy: combustion, pyrolysis, gasification. Appropriate treatment processes for the recovery energy from biological sludge. Energy recovery from agricultural biomass.
4. The recovery of treated wastewater
The recovery of treated wastewater: regulatory framework and possible constraints. Qualitative properties of wastewater needed for irrigation purposes. Presentation of real case studies related to the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture.
