Characterization of Municipal, Construction and Demolition Wastes for Energy Pr...
Alves, Octávio; Passos, Jeysa; Brito, Paulo; Gonçalves, Margarida; Monteiro, EliseuGasification of wastes is considered a promising alternative for energy generation due to its lower environmental impacts when compared with conventional landfilling and incineration. Valorisation of such wastes improves sustainability of resource management and of energy production. However, an appropriate characterisation of wastes in terms of physical and chemical properties is essential for the prediction o...
A Heuristic Solution Based on Clarke & Wright's Savings Algorithm for the Optim...
Passos, Jeysa; Lourinho, Gonçalo; Alves, Octávio; Brito, PauloSewage sludge originating from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a major cause of environmental pollution and their appropriate management should be viewed as a priority. A critical aspect in sludge management practices is route optimization since significant costs are associated with the transportation of waste. In this work, we propose a heuristic solution based on Clarke-Wright savings method for th...
