A waste management system, primarily intended to be for waste floating in water, though it can also be used on land. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon and water may be recycled. The carbon may be used as fuel by the ship. Water may also be used by the ship or returned to the ocean in a non-toxic condition.

A system for remedying deep-sea mine tailings includes a reaction basin in which the solid-liquid ratio of deep-sea mine tailings is adjusted and into which aluminum sulfate is injected as an additive for extraction of heavy metals from the deep-sea mine tailings.

Disclosed is a method for removing an antibiotic resistance gene by using ionizing radiation, wherein same comprises treating antibiotic-microorganism residues using ionizing radiation to destroy the DNA of microbial cells, thereby realizing the effective removal of the resistance gene, and same can simultaneously degrade residual antibiotics, wherein the ionizing radiation is performed using gamma rays or a high energy electron beam generated by an electron accelerator. The radiation in the method can be performed at room temperature and has broad application prospects in the environmental field.

A cement composition based on a sulfoaluminate clinker is described, together with its use for agglomerating and inerting sediment/dredging sludge, and the relative inerting method and apparatus.

Technologies are described for a process for in situ treatment of contaminated soil(s), water, waste, sludge, wastewater, sediment, other contaminated matrix, or combination thereof. The process comprises applying a reactive or treatment material and an adjunct to the contaminated matrix or in a flow path of the contaminant in the matrix. The adjunct is controllably released into the matrix and contributes to the treatment of the soil(s), water, waste, sludge, wastewater, sediment, other contaminated matrix, or combination thereof

The present invention discloses a highly effective in situ treatment method for endogenous pollution in sludge, belonging to the field of environmental engineering water treatment. In view of the problem that it is difficult to effectively treat the endogenous pollution of river sludge, the present invention provides the highly effective in situ treatment method for endogenous pollution in sludge, which specifically adopts a combination of phoslock, calcium peroxide and aluminum modified zeolite to perform in-situ remediation of sludge, effectively inhibit the release of endogenous pollution of sludge, facilitate the ecological treatment of polluted water subsequently, and finally realize the long-term water improvement against pollution.

A continuous flow granular/flocculent sludge wastewater process selects for granule biomass capable of nitrogen and phosphorus removal and controls granule size and concentration of granular and flocculent sludge for optimal nutrient, organic, and solids removal in a smaller footprint. It includes anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic process zones, a high soluble biodegradable COD loaded first reactor in anaerobic or anoxic zones, a granular sludge classifier with recycle of underflow granular sludge to the first reactor, a secondary clarifier to settle flocculent sludge and particulates and recycle of flocculent sludge from the secondary clarifier underflow to an aerobic process zone. Wasting of sludge from the two separate recycle lines controls the bioprocess flocculent and granular sludge concentrations and SRTs. Bypass around and recycle flow to the classifier to maintain desired flow under various influent flow conditions aid control of granule size. On/off mixer operation of anaerobic and anoxic reactors may be used.

Methods and apparatus for the treatment of animal waste are disclosed, together with a treated animal waste and fertilizer and growth media products derived therefrom.
