Closed-cycle waste management

RESEARCH TEAM
Prof.  Andrzej Jędrczak 
Wojciech Dronia, M.Sc. 

FIELDS OF RESEARCH
Minimizing bio-waste streams through organic recycling aimed at maximum recovery of the fertilising components and energy contained therein;
Raising the awareness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the field of improving the efficiency of the use of material resources contained in the generated waste.

ONGOING RESEARCH AND PROJECTS
Implementation doctorate. Mechanical removal of contaminants from bio-waste. The aim of the project is to assess the feasibility of building a technological line which, using commonly available machinery and equipment used in waste management and relatively small investment outlays and operating costs, will allow for effective removal of pollutants from biowaste.

RESEARCH TEAM

Important elements of the solid waste stream are those related to: construction and demolition of building structures, energy use of solid fuels and waste organic matter. It is necessary to manage them in a way that reduces the need to use natural resources in various technological processes.

FIELDS OF RESEARCH
The scope of the topic includes research on:

  • properties of waste related to the construction and demolition of building structures (construction and demolition waste)
  • properties of ashes and volatile dust generated in the combustion of coal and biomass
  • organic properties of municipal and industrial waste
  • the possibility of introducing waste into the soil environment with an analysis of the changes they cause there;
