Hospitals are important sources of pollutants resulted from diagnostic, laboratory and research activities as well as medicine excretion by patients, which include active component of drugs and metabolite, chemicals, residues of pharmaceuticals, radioactive markers, iodinated contrast media, etc. The discharge of hospital wastes and wastewater, especially those without appropriate treatment would expose the public in danger of infection. In particular, under the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic context in China, it is of great significance to reduce the health risks to the public and environment. In this study, technologies of different types of hospital wastes and wastewater disinfection have been summarized. Liquid chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, ozone, and ultraviolet irradiation disinfection are commonly used for hospital wastewater disinfection. While incineration, chemical disinfection, and physical disinfection are commonly used for hospital wastes disinfection. In addition, considering the characteristics of various hospital wastes, the classification and selection of corresponding disinfection technologies are discussed. On this basis, this study provides scientific suggestions for management, technology selection, and operation of hospital wastes and wastewater disinfection in China, which is of great significance for development of national disinfection strategy for hospital wastes and wastewater during COVID-19 pandemic.

“…This performance has been recognised as the best point of reference for conventional grounded combustion of waste-to-energy technique [74]. Latest study on plasma gasification of biomedical waste (bonny tissue) and household waste, exhibited that the overall concentration of gas synthesised was 69.6 and 71.1 vol.%, correspondingly [75].…”

“…The products that are produced from this process are mostly syngas, slug and ash. Since this process uses high temperature, plasma gasification process able to break down nearly all the materials including medical basis such as bandages, infusion kits, biomedical waste containing cytotoxic drugs, antibiotics and also laboratory waste that comprises biomolecules or organisms that are harmful to be released to the environment [75]. Mazzoni and colleague [74] investigated on plasma co-gasification to evaluate the possibility of plasma gasification in recovering energy from MSW and waste of plastic solid.…”

Waste to bioenergy: a review on the recent conversion technologies

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Scientific studies have demonstrated that it is possible to generate a wide variety of bioenergy from biomass residues and waste, and however its cost is not competitive with petro-fuels and other renewable energy. Ongoing efforts are continued extensively to improve conversion technologies in order to reduce production costs. The present review focuses on the conversion technologies for transforming biomass residues and waste to biofuels, specifically their technological concepts, options and prospects for implementation are addressed. The emerging developments in the two primary conversion pathways, namely the thermochemical (i.e. gasification, liquefaction, and pyrolysis) and biochemical (i.e. anaerobic digestion, alcoholic fermentation and photobiological hydrogen production) conversion techniques, are evaluated. Additionally, transesterification, which appears to be the simplest and most economical route to produce biodiesel in large quantity, is discussed. Lastly, the strategies for direct conversion of biomass residues and waste to bioelectricity including the use of combustion and microbial fuel cells are reviewed.
