Production of leachate and contamination of water bodies is a major concern in solid waste landfills. The generated leachate must be appropriately treated before being discharged into the environment. It can be treated by different physico-chemical and biological methods and their combinations. In this study, the performance of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) and sequencing batch …

Bio-based polyurethane (PU) coatings are more sustainable compared with petroleum-based PU coatings because they can address the public concerns about the use of renewable resources and environmental impact. This review overviews the different categories of bio-based PU coatings: water-borne, solvent-less, powder, UV-curable, and hybrid coatings based on vegetable oils, lignocellulosic biomass, and carbohydrates. The development …
