▼ Ship recycling has been considered as the best means to dispose off an obsolete ship. The current state of art of technology combined with the demands of sustainable developments from the global maritime industrial sector has modified the status of erstwhile ‘ship breaking’ involving ship scrap business to a modern industry undertaking dismantling of ships and recycling/reusing the dismantled products in a supply chain of pre owned product market by following the principles of recycling. Industries will have to formulate a set of best practices and blend them with the engineering activities for producing better quality products, improving the productivity and for achieving improved performances related to sustainable development. Improved performance by industries in a sustainable development perspective is accomplished only by implementing the 4E principles, ie.,. ecofriendliness, engineering efficiency, energy conservation and ergonomics in their core operations. The present study has done a comprehensive investigation into various ship recycling operations for formulating a set of best practices.Being the ultimate life cycle stage of a ship, ship recycling activities incorporate certain commercial procedures well in advance to facilitate the objectives of dismantling and recycling/reusing of various parts of the vessel. Thorough knowledge regarding these background procedures in ship recycling is essential for examining and understanding the industrial business operations associated with it. As a first step, the practices followed in merchant shipping operations regarding the decision on decommissioning have been and made available in the thesis. Brief description about the positioning methods and important preparations for the most feasible ship recycling method ie.,. beach method have been provided as a part of the outline of the background information. Available sources of guidelines, codes and rules & regulations for ship recycling have been compiled and included in the discussion.Very brief summary of practices in major ship recycling destinations has been prepared and listed for providing an overview of the global ship recycling activities. The present status of ship recycling by treating it as a full fledged engineering industry has been brought out to establish the need for looking into the development of the best practices. Major engineering attributes of ship as a unique engineering product and the significant influencing factors on her life cycle stage operations have been studied and added to the information base on ship recycling. Role of ship recycling industry as an important player in global sustainable development efforts has been reviewed by analysing the benefits of ship recycling. A brief synopsis on the state of art of ship recycling in major international ship recycling centres has also been incorporated in the backdrop knowledgebase generation on ship recycling processes.Publications available in this field have been reviewed and classified into five subject categories viz., Infrastructure…

▼ Diversion rates of solid waste due to recycling and other efforts vary across communities for multiple reasons. Past research has provided demographic and attitudinal profiles of recyclers and non-recyclers at mainly the individual and household levels with some at the community level. Researchers have found both commonalities and variations in these profiles. Studies have also looked at how the structure of a recycling program influences recycling behavior. The question asked here is how community-level demographic and attitudinal characteristics interact with the structure of public recycling programs to influence aggregate rates of recycling participation and diversion in 40 cities in the western United States. The results of this study provide modest support for my hypotheses that when recycling programs are less convenient, demographics and attitudinal characteristics will explain more variation in diversion of waste at the community scale. Similarly, as recycling programs become more convenient, the roles of demographic and attitudinal factors (recycling friendliness) are expected to decrease. This study found increased recycling program convenience and less visible fee assessment structures were associated with higher rates of recycling among cities regardless of their degree of recycling friendliness. When recycling outcomes were cross tabulated with indicators convenience and fee assessment, low rates were generally found among cities with low program convenience and high rates were generally found among cities with high program convenience. Cities with less convenient programs were more likely to see higher rates of recycling when their underlying demographic and attitudinal attributes reflected characteristics that have been associated with increased recycling activity. However, when program convenience was high (and fee structures less visible) high rates of recycling were found across cities with both favorable and unfavorable demographic characteristics. I use case-specific detailed narratives to explore the factors that influence outcomes among selected cities that did or did not meet my expectations.

▼ Environment and sustainable development are very current topics in today's society, both national and international. The government's bill 2004/05:150 ”Swedish environment objectives - a common commission” contains several environmental quality objectives, that in turn is divided up in smaller secondary objectives. One of the secondary objectives says: “Latest year 2010 shall at least 35% of the food waste from households, restaurants, largescale kitchens and shops be recycled through biological treatment. The objective intends source separated food wastes to composting at home as central treatment”. The aim with the project is to investigate which initiatives are required in order for Halmstads municipality to achieve the secondary objective concerning 35% recycling of food wastes. During the sorting of household combustible waste in Halmstads municipality today, there is no sorting of food waste. This means that only food waste from restaurants and large-scale kitchens are collected for further biological treatment. Systems for handling waste are complex and many factors play a part when choosing the most favourable collection system for each municipality. An inventory shows that recycling of 5500 tons of food waste is required in order to fulfil the secondary objective. There are several different solutions to collect this amount. My proposal is to use a two vessel system in households, restaurants and large-scale kitchens. This means that the waste is separated into two different containers. The waste will be sorted into sealed plastic vessels of which one is for biological waste, and the other for combustible. In order to keep the two vessels a part, two different colours could be used. For example, a brown vessel for biological waste and a green one for combustible. The households should also be able to use home composting as a complement. At restaurants and large-scale kitchens there should be the possibility to an alternative collection through a garbage disposal unit with a container. When the vessels are emptied, the combustible waste goes to incineration and the food waste is taken to a biogas facility.

▼ The research carried out and the results of the Master Thesis “Comparison of packaging collection systems in Latvia” give an overview about level of the development of packaging collection systems, as well as possible ways to improve their performance. In Latvia, there are two packaging collection systems implemented for management of recyclable waste in different towns. In this study, sorted packaging collection system is described (advantages, disadvantages, costs of performance, the amount and quality of the collected material), followed by the corresponding description of the mixed packaging collection system. The systems are compared and ways to upgrade both systems are offered. During the course of the thesis the author collected necessary information about the packaging recycling systems in Europe and Latvia, obtained the necessary details and information from the staff of the Ministry of Environment of Latvia and waste handling organizations and held a social enquiry. The information obtained during the research reveals data on the flow of the waste packaging and its components, as well as the activity of the residents in the recycling process. Data analysis made it possible to analyze the costs of integrating and maintaining the systems, as well as to propose the measures which can help to improve them in order to make their performance more effective and socially acceptable. The figures and information obtained during the research can be used for upgrading of the Waste management plans in the regions of Latvia or for a successful introduction of a new collection system in a town or region. The results show that at the moment it is not possible to clearly state which one of the two systems is better for Latvia because performance of each system depends on a list of factors, such as social, e.g. residents’ involvement in the process, and economical factors. A conducted survey revealed that residents are more likely to participate in a recycling process if they do not have to sort packaging by types. Data analysis showed that there is a substantial difference in transportation and sorting expenses between these two systems, however this difference is too small to make any of the systems profitable for recovery of paper and plastic material. Only collection of glass material proved to be economically profitable in both systems.

▼ Reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) is considered to be an obstacle in the production of high quality water from water reclamation and desalination plants using dense membrane systems. It normally comprises 10-30% of the feed water of water reclamation plants and 50-75% of the feed water from sea water desalination plants. While coastal water reclamation plants have the opportunity to discharge the RO concentrate directly into the ocean, inland facilities depend on controversial options such as surface water discharge, evaporation ponds, deep well injection and land applications. However, all these options are not sustainable or environmentally friendly. Therefore methods for proper disposal of RO concentrate especially for inland plants are urgently required. Various integrated concentrate treatment concepts have been proposed to minimise waste and maximise water recovery. A key issue in applying the Zero Liquid Discharge principle is the impact of foulants on the concentrate desalinating system, consisting of forward osmosis (FO) and a subsequent crystalliser. This study investigates forward osmosis, which appears to be a promising technology that represents a step towards zero liquid discharge. Organic fouling and inorganic scaling are hypothesised to be the main membrane foulants in FO. Furthermore FO is analysed in the context of removing organic micropollutants from RO concentrate. The following methodology was applied to this study. Two types of flat sheet membranes Cellulose Tricacetate (CTA) and Thin-Film Composite polyamide (TFC-PA) supplied by Hydration Technology Innovation for FO were used. Two model foulants - alginate and humic acid - were used to examine organic fouling of FO membrane. Real RO concentrate from the Sydney Olympic Park Authority’s water recycling plant was used to study fouling and its impact on water flux. Both membranes showed similar trends but permeate flux was higher with the TFC-PA membrane compared to the CTA-NW membrane. Forward osmosis was studied in two ways: FO mode (active layer facing feed solution); and pressure retarded mode (PRO) modes (support layer facing feed solution). The results indicate that alginate is a strong foulant of the PA membrane in PRO mode, and the resulting flux decreased sharply. On the other hand, however, in FO mode only moderate fouling was observed. CTA and TFC (PA) membranes were checked for fouling by humic acid. Approximately 7% TOC was adsorbed on the membrane’s surface resulting in a minor flux decline of 2-4%. Real RO concentrate was tested in concentrations of 38 mg/L (TOC equivalent) with both membranes in FO mode. The TOC adsorption at the membrane surface was low between 2-9%, however a high flux decline was observed with increasing draw solution concentrations. The observed flux decline was about 10-26% for the CTA membrane and 5-55% for the TFC-PA membrane, depending on the DS concentration of 1-4 M NaCl in both cases. Analysis of the inorganics revealed that inorganic scalants were the major contributor to the flux decline.…

▼ The rate of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is growing at an alarming rate, especially in countries where markets are saturated with huge quantities of new electronic goods. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a substantial portion of the value contained in waste from WEEE although they are only 6% of the total weight. It is reported that WEEE is currently the fastest growing waste stream in South Africa as the general population’s access to electronic goods in the last decade has increased, especially access to mobile phones. PCBs are found in any piece of electrical or electronic equipment and consist of various metals including precious metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag) and palladium (Pd). It is reported that gold has the highest economic incentive at 15,200 $ per ton of PCBs. The rapid introduction of new and advanced technology into mobile phones has caused mobile phones to have a relatively short life span, 1 to 2 years to be exact. Mobile phones printed circuit boards (MPPCBs) have more Au content compared to computer circuit boards. They contain 350 g/ton Au whereas computer (PC) PCBs contains 250 g/ton. This research project will recover gold from waste mobile phones PCBs pregnant ammonia thiosulphate leach solution using copper cementation. The cementation process is preferred to all the other technologies of metals extraction from solution due to ultrahigh purity metals that can be obtained and to the less consumption of materials and energy. Electronic parts on the PCBs were manually removed using pliers and screwdrivers. PCBs were then cut to smaller pieces of about 2 x 2 m. The pieces were crushed and milled respectively. Some of the particles were recycled back to the crusher to get finer particles. The particles were separated to particles of sizes between 0 and 1350 μm using a shaker. The comminuted fractions of the PCBs were then used in the leaching step. Batch cementation experiments were performed by bubbling N2 in glass reaction vessel with a working volume of 0.5 L. The reactor was connected to a circulating water bath for temperature control. The recovery percentage of gold at various temperatures, agitation speeds and different amounts of copper powder used, was determined while pH was monitored. The temperature was varied at 30 °C, 40 °C, and 50 °C and the agitation speeds at 300 RPM and 900 RPM. Copper powder was added at 0.5 g/L, 1 g/L, and 1.5 g/L. Gold concentrations were measured by atomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) analyses of the copper powder after cementation (precipitates) were used to determine the surface morphology and to evaluate the quantitative aspect of the precipitate. It was found that the recovery of gold from ammonia thiosulphate leach solution was greatly affected by agitation speed. At an agitation speed of 900 rpm, 40 °C and 0.5 g of Copper powder, 96% of the gold was recovered from the leach solution. The cementation rate increased as temperature was elevated… Advisors/Committee Members: Aziz, M (advisor), Ojumu, T.V., Prof (advisor).

▼ Masses of used Copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber is deposited into landfill from light timber framed building deconstruction every year. This research explores the structural integrity of CCA treated timber and the feasibility of its re-use within the construction industry. To answer this question an appropriate methodology has been designed to achieve quality results. The first part of the methodology was to identify the profit margin for pinus radiata through communicating with individuals in the current market. This market all works around the concept that to reuse there needs to be a significant buying community as it needs to generate MONEY. Through doing this it was identified that only a few companies in New Zealand reuse CCA treated timber and the ways of which it is re-used varies greatly between companies. Some firms pull the nails out due to health and safety reasons, while others leave them in due to the overall cost of the sale. This gives a good understanding on what everyone is doing across the country and allows for the sale market to be set at 2.00 a meter, which if done correctly comes in at around 0.16 a meter of profit. The next part of the methodology required a physical assessment of material itself in order to establish its structural integrity and identify other potential barriers to its reuse. This section covered all other possibilities to pinus radiata focusing on the different timber which have the same properties, and focus on separate treatments which will also conduct the same issues as CCA. This all found that there is much research to consider, which placed New Zealand in an area of profit, as any of these documents could be the focus point and all could eventually relieve CCA from the industry. Existing research identifies how the use of CCA treated timber can be prevented, but does not consider the diversion of existing treated timber being deposited into landfill. The lack of research into the re-use of CCA treated timber is the main barrier found in this thesis. This required the series of events which occur between building deconstruction and deposition into landfill to be clearly defined, before they could be changed. The changes to how CCA treated timber is processed after deconstruction has the potential to divert the material from landfill for re-use. The primary addition to this process was an assessment of the strength which it holds. To accomplish this a three point bending test was carried out on each member, finding the alternate strength and the modulus of elasticity (MOE). These two figures could then be directly compared to NZS 3603:1993 timber structural standards allowing their long term history of testing to be the comparative point (New Zealand Government, 1993). With the two figures it was found that all of this material strength was 91% above the minimum strength grading of SG6, and 55% above the next area of SG8, which is the most commonly used framing timber. Although through doing this there was hope for the material to present themselves with… Advisors/Committee Members: Marriage, Guy.

▼ This study sought to establish factors influencing recycling of solid waste in urban areas within Machakos County. The aims of the study were; to ascertain how technical factors influence recycling of solid waste in Machakos County, to determine how financial factors can affect recycling of solid waste in the Machakos County, examine the influence of stakeholder involvement on solid waste recycling in Machakos County. The target population for this study was Machakos county‟s employees in the solid waste management department, NEMA officials, public health officials and MOH. The study employed a descriptive survey design and interview guide to key informants and the target population was 122 individuals drawn from different sub-counties in Machakos County. A stratified sampling technique was used. It comprised of all the respondents who were targeted. There was collection of primary data using questionnaires. Analysis of the data collected from the pilot study done was analyzed using SPSS 21 and Microsoft Excel. The study found that financial factors played a role influencing recycling of solid waste in Machakos County. Technical factors such as lack of professional personnel and equipment had an association to recycling solid waste. Stakeholder involvement such as informal sector, community based organizations, donors and NGO‟s have an influence on recycling of solid waste. The researcher examined the data and demonstrated the results in tables. The recommendations in this research centered on factors influencing recycling of solid waste in Machakos County, Kenya were, strict enforcement of by-laws and policy, more budget allocation and proper waste allocation systems which are as follows: The County government should allocate enough budgets for provision of SWM services within the county. The county should facilitate proper waste management activities so as to reduce, reuse and recycle solid waste in the county‟s environment. Additionally, the County should advocate for good recycling activities of the solid wastes to add value by converting the solid wastes to useful products. Besides, it should develop market for the solid waste materials by putting in place good policies for disposing the materials. The county should enforce regulations while at the same time promoting campaigns which will reduce disposal of solid waste in the county. It will be important to publicize training manuals, best practices and also provide useful technical and financial assistance which will encourage better solid waste recycling and reusing practices.

▼ The mantle is the largest reservoir of many of the Earth’s volatile species. Detailed isotopic studies of noble gases within the mantle volatiles have demonstrated that they are of a primordial origin, which have been trapped in the mantle since the Earth’s accretion. This original volatile signature has continually evolved over time, due to the production of in situ radiogenic isotopes and through the recycling of surface volatiles back into the mantle (Lupton and Craig, 1975; Holland and Ballentine, 2006). The study of noble gases within magmatic samples has enabled the composition and structure of the mantle to be determined and has distinguished the multiple volatile reservoirs (primordial, crustal, marine etc.) that have contributed to the mantle composition sampled. Together with the halogens (Cl, Br and I) they represent key tracers of volatile transport processes in the Earth. Therefore a combined analytical approach including the halogens and noble gases is not only be able to track the influx of surface volatile into the mantle, but also provide a greater understanding to the fundamental controls of transport, storage and partitioning of volatiles within the mantle. A combined noble gas and halogen study was undertaken on three different geological samples sets to determine how surface volatiles interact with the mantle on a variety of different scales. Firstly continental xenoliths from the Western Antarctic Rift were analysed to establish the role of subduction volatiles in the creation of the rifts volcanic products. The xenoliths have 3He/4He ratios of 7.5RA indicating that the rift is dominated by the rising asthenospheric mantle. However the Br/Cl and I/Cl ratio and heavy noble gases within the xenoliths indicate that marine derived volatiles have been incorporated into the mantle beneath the rift and may have provided and fundamental control on the formation of the rift itself. Secondly the role of surface contamination on mantle samples has been evaluated. A transect along a MOR pillow basalt has been analysed for its halogen concentrations in conjunction with the previously determined noble gases. The outer sections are enriched in Cl relative to Br and I due to the assimilation of a high salinity brine during eruption. In contrast the crystalline interior of the pillow has MORB like Br/Cl and I/Cl ratios but elevated 132Xe/36Ar ratios indicative of the incorporation of pelagic sediments. This small scale analytical approach has shown that submarine pillow basalts are prone to contamination from the surrounding marine environment and provides a method for the identification and quantification of marine contamination. Finally the halogens within olivine phenocrysts from three Emperor Seamounts have been analysed to determine the distribution of the halogens within the lower mantle. The I/Cl ratio of the samples evolves from a MORB-like ratio in the oldest seamount to elevated values similar to sedimentary pore fluids and chondrites in the younger seamounts. This indicates that the Hawaiian mantle…

▼ Plastics play an enormous role in modern manufacturing, but the extraction and refining of raw materials, followed by the synthesis of plastics themselves, represents an enormous energy investment into a product that is all too often simply “thrown away” into a landfill after a single use. Microwave-assisted pyrolysis is a recycling technique that allows the recovery of chemical value from plastic waste by breaking down polymers into useful smaller hydrocarbons using microwave heat in the absence of oxygen. This dissertation examines the use of a catalytic activated carbon bed in this procedure, using high density polyethylene (HDPE) as a model plastic. Initial tests with the batch input of HDPE produced a condensed pyrolysis oil comprising 35.5–45.3% aromatics, with the remainder primarily short-chain aliphatics. This oil was approximately three times lighter than that produced in the absence of catalyst, with a narrower range of molecular masses that matched those of the liquid transport fuels petrol and diesel (C5–C21). The non-condensable gases that resulted were short-chain aliphatics that could be used as feedstock for the creation of new chemicals (such as virgin HDPE), or fuels such as natural gas and LPG. The development of apparatus capable of adding sample in a continuous fashion enabled the processing of larger quantities of HDPE, and resulted in condensed products with a significantly higher aromatic content (>80% at 450°C), and which encompassed a somewhat narrower range of molecular masses compared with those produced in the batch mode; this was due to differences in kinetics and residence time that resulted from the different modes of sample introduction. As a result of processing larger quantities of HDPE it became apparent that the activated carbon deactivated over time, with a bed able to process around 3.5 times its mass in HDPE at 450°C before any significant changes in output products occurred. The decomposition of HDPE proceeds via thermal scission and radical-mediated mechanisms; high energy surface active sites facilitate the transfer of hydrogen and radicals, and this enhances overall cracking and lowers the activation energy for the formation of aromatics. Analysis of material deposited on the surface of the activated carbon confirmed that deactivation occurred through coking, with both cracking and deactivation thought to be enhanced by the formation of microwave-induced microplasmas. Overall, the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of HDPE using activated carbon produces a much narrower range of more valuable products compared with non-catalytic processing. While the process is not likely to be economic in its current form owing to the relatively rapid deactivation of the activated carbon, future configurations incorporating online reactivation may be able to economically provide a second use cycle for these materials, avoiding expending energy to extract and process increasingly scarce new raw material from the surface of the earth.
