“…From the Table 1, it is observed that pH is found in the alkaline range with considerable COD and TDS. It is reported that the organics present in terms of COD is found to be in the medium range high, but still the leachate generated should be treated in a sustainable manner (Rajendiran et al 2022(Rajendiran et al , 2023. It is reported that the organics present in leachate is very complex in nature and the conventional treatment of leachate is very difficult.…”

Solar evaporation is one of widely accepted concept for treatment and disposal of different solids as well as liquid wastes generated from domestic and industries by replacing conventional treatment and disposal methods. This solar evaporation has several advantages like low cost, minimization of secondary pollutants and residues etc. Municipal solid wastes (MSW) generated is also disposed in open dumps or landfills, which leads to generation of leachate and contaminates the nearby land, ground water and water bodies depending on the location conditions in addition to public health issues. This research mainly focuses on accelerated solar dryer for management of leachate generated from municipal solid waste landfill which could be efficiently used for all seasons and reduce the evaporation time. In this study, leachate evaporation using solar dryer has been experimented. From the results, it is observed that the daily average temperature between from 9 AM to 5 PM has increased inside solar dryer compared ambient temperature outside solar dryer. Results from the evaporation studies with leachate showed that the volume of leachate reduced by 5-fold within 16 days of experimental period. This reduction of volume of leachate and subsequent disposal along with organic fractions of MSW in composting and anerobic digestion, ensures sustainable management of leachate and reducing the impact of leachate on public health. This sustainable approach of MSW leachate with accelerated solar is cost effective and environmentally friendly and addresses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like Good health and wellbeing (SDG4), Clean water and Sanitation (SDG6) and Sustainable cities and communities (SDG11).

This study comprehensively evaluates the potential of biochar as a substitute for high‐rank pulverized coal in various aspects including physicochemical properties, combustion performance, environmental emissions, and application costs. Biochar, characterized by its small particle size, reduced emissions, high volatility, elevated calorific value, and facile combustion, emerges as a promising alternative fuel to pulverized coal. Despite a lower ignition temperature, biochar demonstrates superior burnout efficiency and combustion kinetics, as indicated by its lower activation energy compared to pulverized coal. Moreover, considering China's substantial energy consumption, the substitution of coal with biochar could significantly reduce CO2 and SO2 emissions, making it a viable strategy for mitigating environmental pollution. In addition, the application cost of biochar is not higher than that of pulverized coal. This study underscores the feasibility and effectiveness of utilizing biochar as a sustainable alternative to high‐rank pulverized coal, offering valuable insights into cleaner and more efficient energy utilization.
