In the professional literature there is no information on the efficiency of waste treatment in MBT (mechanical-biological waste treatment) systems in Poland. This knowledge is currently particularly important as it will decide on the role of the MBT system in the new reality of the circular economy, and consequently on the direction and necessary scope of modernization of these systems. The article presents a series of technical and technological indicators designated for one of the recently commissioned MBT plants against the background of minimum, maximum and average values of these parameters set for 20 systems with various MBTs covered by the research as part of the review of technological solutions used in Poland, made in 2015. For the system in Marszów, respectively in 2017 and 2018, the average value of the ratio of underscreen to overscreen fraction was 1.4; the losses of mass in the biological treatment process amounted to 28.7 and 29.4%; energy demand - 46.6 and 44.3 kWh/Mg; the aeration index - 16.7 m/(Mg h); the average waste recycling rate - 15.2 and 17.3%; the share of fuel fraction recovery - 11.6 and 16,6% and the share of waste sent to landfill - 33.2 and 32.3%.

Freestanding networked nanoparticle (NP) films hold substantial potential due to their high surface areas and customizable porosities. However, NPs with high surface energies and heterogeneous sizes or shapes present considerable challenges as they tend to aggregate, compromising their structural integrities. In this study, we report the scalable fabrication of ultrathin, bicontinuous, and densely packed carbon NP films via Pickering emulsion-mediated interfacial assembly.

Gram-positive bacteria pose significant threats to human health, necessitating the development of targeted bacterial detection and eradication strategies. Nevertheless, current approaches often suffer from poor targeting specificity. Herein, the study utilizes purple rice lixivium to synthesize biomass carbon dots (termed BCDs) with wheat germ agglutinin-like residues for precisely targeting Gram-positive bacteria.

Due to limited resources of rare earth elements (REEs) and their high demand, these are subjected to supply constraints. So it is important to recover REEs from potential secondary resources. Phosphogypsum is the waste generated on an enormous scale (300 million metric tons per year) from the fertilizer industry.

Significant agro-industrial waste is produced during the winemaking process, including grape stalks, which are a rich source of the valuable biopolymer holocellulose that can be utilized for biotechnological processes. The purpose of this study was to delignify grape stalks in order to extract holocellulose. Then Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) was immobilized in the interstitial spaces of holocellulose and then coated with natural polymers (chitosan, Ch; and alginate, Al) to create the Holo-LP/Ch/Al complex.
