CHARACTERIZATION OF THE POLYMERIC WASTE, POST-CONSUPTION, DISPOSED IN THE SANITARY LANDFILL OF THE MUNICIPAL OF SÃO CARLOS, SP

The objective of the present work is to present a physical characterization of the polymeric wastes conducted in the conventional collection of the municipality of São Carlos, SP. The method adopted for physical characterization was by sampling, where the number of samples involved all of the sections, with the weight …

METHANE GENERATION POTENTIAL AND BIODEGRADABILITY OF MSW COMPONENTS

As an important parameter for estimation of methane generation from landfills, we measured ultimate methane yields (M0 VS) of various municipal solid waste (MSW) components, which were obtained by classifying bulk waste carried into S landfill in Korea. Food wastes exhibited the highest M0 VS of 420mL CH4/g VS. Misc. …

RECYCLING CENTRES FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTES IN BRAZIL: A STUDY CASE FOR THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO

There are very few construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling centres in Brazil. Data relating to C&D waste management and recycling in Brazil were collected and analysed to encourage the building and operation of new units. Based on the results of this analysis, a conceptual model was proposed to perform …

CROP PRODUCTION AND NITROGEN LEACHING RESULTING FROM BIOWASTE AND ONION COMPOST AMENDED SAND

Compost application to agricultural land needs to ensure sustainable development. Hence it is important to determine the fertilizer value and soil conditioning ability of composts, and further to assess the risk of adverse environmental effects, such as excessive nitrate leaching. A lysimeter study was undertaken on poor quality sand to …

A STUDY ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF ALTERNATIVE DRAINAGE SYSTEMS IN LANDFILLS

Drainage and liquid collection systems are components of fundamental importance in landfills and waste disposal areas. Sand, gravels and geosynthetics are materials commonly used as filters and draining media in landfill drainage systems. However, the waste itself contains elements that could be employed as drainage material. This paper presents an …
