<p>This paper presents an experimental approach on understanding and managing the environmental hazards of co-products resulted during energy recovery processes applied on scrap tires. As tire combustion faces serious problems related to harmful emissions, pyrolysis appear as a process that allow the management of toxic compounds.</p><p>Thus, for the reactions that occur during pyrolysis and combustion of tires organic matters the main intensive degradation thermal ranges have been established. The work was carried out by coupling thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of tire samples with bench scale reactor in order to identify the relationships between thermochemical behaviour and products distribution. </p>

Abstract Air conditioning (AC) systems consume the maximum proportion of the total electricity used in the building sector. The demand of AC systems is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years due to various reasons such as climate change, increasing affordability and increase in living floor space. Membrane-based liquid desiccant AC system along with energy recovery ventilating equipment is considered as a prospective alternative to the conventional air conditioning system (CACS) and has the potential to meet the increasing current and future AC demand in a sustainable manner. Its efficiency and energy saving potential with respect to CACS depends on the performance of the membrane-based dehumidifier, regenerator and energy recovery ventilating equipment which are commonly referred to as membrane energy exchangers (MEEs). MEE is an indirect exchanger type in which the working streams are separated by a porous membrane. This intermediate membrane creates an additional resistance for the heat and mass transfer process in the MEE. To reduce the resistance, this study experimentally and numerically investigates the influence of ultrasound on the performance of the MEE for dehumidification, humidification (applicable for membrane-based evaporative cooling and desiccant regeneration devices) and energy recovery processes. It is found that the vibration due to ultrasound has the potential to improve the effectiveness of the MEE by 55% in the dehumidification process and by 65% in the humidification and energy recovery processes.

Heat And Mass Recovery

Adsorption refrigeration systems, as opposed to absorption type operate in a cyclic manner. The result is that at the beginning of each process must be fed into the adsorber state in which they will adsorb or desorb a refrigerant. In the case of two adsorbers at the start of a cycle, the one of the adsorber must be refrigerated while the second has to be heated. These processes are causing unnecessary energy loss. The aim of the work is to show how these processes can be connected and the heat received from one adsorber is transported to another adsorber. As part of the study, the heat and mass recovery processes will be considered. It turns out that in the thermal wave type systems, it is possible to recover more than 25% of the energy lost to bring the adsorber to the states in which they will operate efficiently to desorb and adsorb refrigerant. That is, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the adsorption refrigeration unit using the proposed improvements.

Meaningful Data

Waste composition studies can provide meaningful data for design and operation of resource recovery processes. However, relatively limited attention has been devoted to energy recovery predicted by waste composition analysis, despite increasingly detailed analysis of various subsets of the municipal solid waste stream. Further, global economic conditions and markets have dramatically altered since 2008, resulting in significant changes in corporate, institutional and consumer spending patterns. Associated with these shifts in spending, as well as with longer-term trends in packaging and advances in residential and commercial recycling, the quantity and makeup of discarded materials has changed. The authors present data resulting from recent waste composition studies, and discuss potential impacts on the design and operation of material recovery systems.
