Regeneration and sustainable energy are the urgent needs of environmental sustainability and maximum reduction of global warming and climate change. In order to explore a new method of creating clean energy from daily waste, researchers use urban solid waste as a potential source of renewable energy. This survey meets the urgent needs for sustainable energy selection and provides an effective waste treatment method. The research team was led by Professor ABU MD Mehdi Hassan from Bangladesh and Malaysia University College. Other members include Muhammad Asif, Muhammad Abdullah Al-Mansur, Ripaj Uddin, Sultan ALSUFYANI, and Farzana YASMIN. Professor Mayeen Khandaker. Their research recently published in the “Radiation Research and Applied Sciences”, showing that if it is effective for this purpose, urban solid waste can indeed be converted into valuable energy.
The team focuses on waste samples collected from Bangladesh’s Grand Port to evaluate its energy utilization potential. Through a series of detailed inspections, researchers have found that most of these wastes are composed of organic materials and hydrocarbons, which are the basis for energy production. Only an appropriate amount of nitrogen and sulfur are found to make this waste relatively clean in discharge. “Urban solid waste provides valuable opportunities for renewable energy production,” Professor Hassan commented. However, ash and moisture content in wastes are high, and preliminary treatment is required, such as separation and drying, so that waste can effectively produce energy.
Through more in -depth research on waste samples, the analysis shows that a large amount of materials cannot be burned, which highlights the need for additional purification steps to improve the quality of the combustible part. Further investigation confirms that the content of carbon and hydrogen is high (the key elements required for production energy), and the content of sulfur and nitrogen is still very low, which means that there are fewer harmful gases released when fuel. When inspection was checked with infrared light, the waste showed a variety of hydrocarbon compounds and useful organic compounds, and supported the use of this waste as a reason for alternative fuel sources. In addition, heating analysis shows that through control heating, it can effectively extract the ingredients of rich energy, so as to make energy production more efficient.
This study pointed out a meaningful forward path to cities that hopes to reduce waste burial waste and meet increasing energy demand at the same time. Professor Hassan emphasized: “In order to solve the dual challenges of waste management and clean energy production, the sustainable framework for dealing with urban solid waste at the family level can transform waste from burdens to precious resources.” The team also emphasized that community participation is important Sex, because waste classification practice will improve the quality of materials used for energy production.
By converting urban garbage into feasible energy, urban areas can greatly benefit, and at the same time, it can reduce problems related to garbage. The results of the study laid a valuable foundation for the facilities that might transform waste into energy in the future, especially in cities with rapid population growth and limited waste treatment space.
