Life-Cycle Assessment of a Regulatory Compliant US Municipal Solid Waste Landfill

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 55(20), 13583–13592.

author keywords: landfill; life-cycle assessment; solid waste management; greenhouse gases; capital goods
MeSH headings : Methane; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR: This study develops an LCA model for a representative U.S. MSW landfill that is responsive to landfill size, regulatory thresholds for landfill gas (LFG) collection and control, practices for LFG management (i.e., passive venting, flare, combustion for energy recovery), and four alternative schedules for L FG collection well installation.

2021 AMERICAN CONTROL CONFERENCE (ACC), pp. 4527–4532.

author keywords: Reinforcement learning; linear quadratic regulator; multi-agent systems; decomposition
TL;DR: This work proposes a parallel RL scheme for a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) design in a continuous-time linear MAS and shows that if the MAS is homogeneous then this decomposition retains closed-loop optimality. (via Semantic Scholar)

Influence of natural organic matter and pH on phosphate removal by and filterable lanthanum release from lanthanum-modified bentonite

WATER RESEARCH, 202.

author keywords: Eutrophication; Lake restoration; Lanthanum release; Humic and fulvic acid; Phosphate management
MeSH headings : Bentonite; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Lakes; Lanthanum; Phosphates; Phosphorus
