Re-use of surplus foundry sand by composting (LIFE-FOUNDRYSAND)
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Background
The capacity of landfill sites to receive waste remains limited and new ways must be found to reuse waste. While cleaned and recycled soil material can be valuable for agricultural and geo-engineering (e.g. road construction) applications, its acceptance needs to be better established. In Europe, around 18 million tonnes of foundry waste sand i ...

Control of VOC emissions from mechanical pulping beyond BAT (VOCless pulping)
Start date: Oct 1, 2006, End date: Sep 30, 2009,
Background
Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and related odour problems are an important environmental problem. VOCs present a specific health and safety issue in affected workplaces as well as both a nuisance and a health-risk factor in the surrounding communities.
Mechanical and semi-mechanical pulp production is a notable source of VOC e ...
