项目摘要

Every year the UK produces millions of tonnes of waste which is landfilled. There are over over [ ]Mt waste wood alone produced in the UK each year. In addition there are large areas of land (e.g. disused landfill sites, coal-mines and water treatment facilities where energy crops could be grown to add remediation and improve land quality. It is well known that fast growing species such as willlow are efficient at sequestering heavy metals and other contaminants from the ground. When the crops are harvested the contamination is effectively transformed from a dispersed contamination on land to a much more concentrated form in the crop. Energy can then be extracted from the crop and the residues from the conversion process are easier to manage than the original dispersed contamination. However, care must be taken to ensure that the contaminated components are sequestered rather than being released to air, water or land in a way that could have negative environmental impacts. This work will study existing and new plantations of energy crops to evaluate their utility in remediating land and the net environmental impact of this approach. We will also monitor the behavrour of the envrionmental contaminants in a range of different conversion processes to establish the pathway they take under different conditions. This is important for evaluating the environmental impact of the system but it also provides useful information for engineers charged with designing the conversoin plant, so that they know how to adjust process conditions, materials and predict any changes in performance associated with the waste fuel.The focus of this work is energy crops grown on contaminated land. However, its application is much wider than that. The UK has a limited amount of land that can be used to provide renewable bioenergy. However, a vast quantity of wastes are produced that could sustainably deliver energy. In order to do this sustaianbly and effiiciently it is impmortant that engineers have access to data on how the contaminants in waste behave during conversion and this proejct will provide that, allowing more efficient design, lower environmental impact and supporting industrial deployment of these facilities.

每年英国都会产生数百万吨垃圾的废物。每年英国仅在英国生产的垃圾木材超过了。此外，还有大量的土地（例如，可以种植能量作物的废弃垃圾填埋场，煤矿和水处理设施，以增加补救措施并提高土地质量。众所周知，诸如威尔洛（Willlow）之类的快速生长的物种在隔离的重金属和其他污染物中有效地从地面上造成的污染物有效地构成了更多的污染物，从而有效地构成了一定的污染物。然后可以从农作物中提取，而转换过程中的残留物比原始的污染更容易管理，但是要确保隔离的成分是隔离的，而不是以一种可以对现有的能源craps and Interition and net and net and net and net and net and net and net and net and net and net and net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net，则必须以一种负面影响空气，水或土地。我们还将在一系列不同的转换过程中监视设想污染物的行为，以确定它们在不同条件下采取的途径。这对于评估系统的环境影响很重要，但它还为负责设计碳酸酯工厂的工程师提供了有用的信息，以便他们知道如何调整过程条件，材料并预测与废物燃料相关的性能变化。这项工作的重点是在受污染的土地上生长的能源作物。但是，它的应用远不止于此。英国的土地数量有限，可用于提供可再生的生物能源。但是，产生了大量的废物，可以可持续地提供能源。为了持续有效地进行此操作，工程师可以访问有关在转换过程中浪费的污染物如何表现的数据，并且这种污染物将提供该数据，从而允许更有效的设计，较低的环境影响并支持这些设施的工业部署。
