“…Accordingly, the availability of solar energy and the operational marketing and economy reasons offer a good opportunity for using solar drying all over the world [25]. Solar drying can benefit the environment due to its utilization of renewable energy source and exemption for GHG emission [16] despite the high capital investment cost.…”

“…Booming economy, growing population, urbanization and industrialization accelerate MSW generation rates [17]. As a result, most of the countries with scarce land areas reach their available capacities of the landfills, hence, encountering higher cost of safe waste disposal and difficulty of locating new disposal sites [16,18,19]. Thus, a sustainable approach to MSW management could be taken by utilizing the waste resource effectively to meet human needs and minimize the land use of waste disposal with the sustainability of natural systems and the environment [16].…”

“…Perazzini et al [23] suggest that the proper treatment of organic or inorganic solid wastes such as biodrying is necessary for economic and environmental interests to obtain added-value by-product through resource recovery, energy recovery and reuse. Therefore, the optimization of MSW quality by drying could offer the numerous benefits, including the easier recovery of recoverable materials [23,24], easier storage for the future, easier transportation and reduction of disposal costs [16,25,26], improvement of heating values of waste fuel [24,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] for the efficiency improvement of thermal waste treatment process [6], less dependency on fossil fuels, reduction of waste odor by slowing down the deterioration of the waste [6,33], reduction of environmental impacts from open dumpsites and landfills [6, 12-14, 31, 34], and mitigation of global warming [6,35].…”

“…Most recent studies [6,16,23,24,27,31,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] have majorly focused on biostabilization, biodrying methods, solar drying and thermal drying for the pretreatment of high organic concentration of solid wastes. Moreover, numerous studies [4, 22-24, 27-29, 31-34, 36-49] have also investigated the process, performance efficiency and economic feasibility of different drying methods for the quality improvement of solid wastes coming from industrial sector, municipal sector and agricultural sector.…”

Nowadays, drying methods for municipal solid waste quality improvement have been adopted in the developed and developing countries to valorize wastes for a renewable energy source, reduce dependency on fossil fuel and keep safer disposal at landfills. Among them, biodrying, biostabilization, thermal drying and solar drying are the most common. Drying of municipal solid waste could offer several environmental and economic benefits. Therefore, this review highlighted the drying methods for municipal solid waste quality improvement around the world and compared them based on the reduction of moisture, weight and volume of municipal solid wastes against drying temperature and time by using statistical analysis. It was observed that the drying temperature of different drying methods accounted for 115 ± 40°C for thermal drying, 59 ± 37°C for solar drying, 55 ± 15°C for biodrying and 58 ± 11°C for biostabilization. Among the drying methods, thermal drying provided the shortest drying time. The moisture reduction, weight reduction, volume reduction and heating value increase of municipal solid waste could vary with drying temperature and time. Finally, the benefits and drawbacks of different drying methods were specified, and recommendations were made for the future efficient drying.

Solar‐thermal driven drying technologies for large‐scale industrial applications: State of the art, gaps, and opportunities

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research and Innovation (R&I) on Large-scale Industrial Solar-thermal driven Drying technologies (LISDs) is one of the strategies required to transition to a low-carbon energy future. The objective for this work is to guide future R&I on LISDs by defining the state of the art, gaps, and opportunities. To provide a high-level perspective on the current state of solar drying research, results are presented from an analysis of the content relevant to LISDs found in 45 solar drying Review Articles published in journals over the past 25 years. A conclusion is that most of the existing solar drying research is not focused on LISDs. To build-on these existing 45 solar drying Review Articles, results are presented from an analysis of 30 Original Research Articles with significant content relevant to LISDs published over the past 5 years. A gap is identified in coupling existing or slightly modified solar thermal collectors with existing or slightly modified industrial drying technologies to create indirect LISDs. To facilitate formulating new coupling strategies, the drying characteristics most relevant to this coupling are described and four fundamental classes of industrial dryer technologies are defined based on the underlying heat transfer mechanism, which then impacts the appropriate collector choice. At their most fundamental level, many of the technologies needed to couple solar collectors and industrial dryers to create novel indirect LISDs are not unique to indirect LISDs, but rather can be generalized across a wide range of Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) applications, and integration issues are discussed at a more fundamental SHIP level. The technical and economic characteristics of 19 existing LISDs installations throughout the world are presented, and potential and emerging areas discussed.
