Once a big natural disaster comes like the Great East Japan Earthquake, a huge amount of disaster waste generates in a short period.  In order to recover the town from the damage speedy, initial countermeasure actions for disaster waste treatment by local government are quite important.  Therefore, our laboratory is constructing a knowledge base of the actions and also developing a training support system for the local government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/solid-waste-management-and-recycling-f03.jpg\" alt=\"\"  class=\"aligncenter\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"research-box green\">\n<h1>Research Area : Solid Waste Management and Recycling<\/h1>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"photo clfx\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Solid-Waste-Management-and-Recycling-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter\"\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Assoc.

This is especially true in emerging countries such as China, where medium- to long-term increases in the amount of EoL EEE generation are projected. In this study, we aim to assess the resource availability potential for EoL EEE recycling based on penetration scenarios for formal and\/or informal treatment options for the strategic EoL-EEE management, including plans for appropriate capacities of recovery and treatment facilities to meet the requirement of proper waste treatment as well as to maximize secondary resource recovery.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Substance flow analysis of mercury in Malaysia<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Solid-Waste-Management-and-Recycling-09.jpg\" alt=\"\"  align=\"right\" style=\"margin-left:25px;\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p>Mercury is a heavy metal of special concern because it has many serious impacts on human health and the environment. It can be found in many minerals, although cinnabar is the only ore being extracted for the principal product. For the appropriate management of mercury, sources of emissions and release, as well as the amounts released, need to be clarified. In this study, we aim to develop a mercury emissions inventory for Malaysia by measuring the actual emissions levels in two solid waste incineration facilities (SWIF-a and SWIF-b) and a coal-fired power station, as well as the mercury concentrations in the combustion residues and feedstock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Area : Solid Waste Management and Recycling Prof.FUJIWARA Takeshi Regional waste material recycling towards low carbon society: Sanitary wast &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/research\/department-of-sustainable-society-studies\/solid-waste-management-and-recycling\"> read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":119,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"research.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-243","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/243"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2309,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/243\/revisions\/2309"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
