Abstract

The demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly municipal solid waste (MSW) processing has increased in developing countries. The thermochemical process offers a fast and reliable solution to reutilize or reduce the volume of MSW. Hydrothermal treatment is a novel MSW treatment technology that is compatible with high-moisture-content feedstock. It involves the thermal degradation of MSW in pressurized water or steam, which promotes the disintegration of cellulosic and polymer materials. Recent advances have shown effective MSW conversion into homogenous solid hydrochar with higher energy density. Alkali and chlorine content, which causes issues in combustors, was successfully removed due to the washing effect of hydrothermal treatment. The possibility of activated carbon production also exists because the surface area is significantly increased after the treatment. This paper presents an overview of the latest development of hydrothermal treatment in the field of post-consumer waste and MSW treatment, with particular focus on the operating conditions and physicochemical characteristics of the hydrochar. Several experimental results from post-consumer waste feedstock were compiled and interpreted using principal component analysis to observe the effect of different operating conditions and feedstock during the hydrothermal process.

Abstract

Advanced sludge treatment remains a critical challenge as global wastewater production increases, with waste-activated sludge (WAS) posing ecological and health risks due to heavy metal accumulation. This study characterized WAS based on solid parameters and metal content, focusing on As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni, Mg, Mn, and Zn, which exceed organic fertilizer thresholds. Using Visual MINTEQ, heavy metal leaching behavior was modelled under pH-independent and pH-dependent conditions. The pH-independent simulation identified As as the least leachable metal (2.166 × 10⁻¹³ mgAs/L) and Cu as the most leachable (1.261 × 10⁻⁴ mgCu/L). The pH-dependent simulation (pH 1.5–13.5) revealed significant leaching for Fe (21.777 mgFe/L) and Cu (1.98 ×10-3 mgCu/L), with Ni (0.120 mgNi/L) and Pb (2.7 × 10-4 mgPb/L) posing chronic risks to aquatic ecosystems. Metals like Cr, Cd, and Ni exhibited distinct leaching patterns influenced by pH and WAS composition. The findings highlight the critical role of pH, along with WAS composition, in governing heavy metal leaching, providing insights to mitigate risks and support sustainable sludge management practices.

Abstract

Tempat Pengolahan Sampah Terpadu (TPST) Sentiong didirikan sebagai upaya untuk mengurangi volume sampah yang dikirim ke Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA) Sarimukti Bandung, yang saat ini telah mengalami kondisi overload. Namun, pengelolaan sampah di TPST Sentiong masih belum berjalan optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi penyebab utama kendala operasional pengelolaan sampah di TPST Sentiong kurang optimal. Dengan menggunakan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), penelitian ini mengevaluasi berbagai aspek yang memengaruhi pengelolaan sampah di TPST Sentiong. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa bottleneck utama terletak pada aspek teknis dengan bobot 0,5579, sementara indeks konsistensi (CI) sebesar 0,0395 dan rasio konsistensi (CR) sebesar 0,0444, menunjukkan bahwa perhitungan matriks telah konsisten. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan perawatan dan pemeliharaan mesin secara teratur untuk mengurangi frekuensi mesin trouble dan meningkatkan efisiensi pengeloaan sampah.
