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 …

This paper presents the outline of a demonstration project that aims to develop a safe and sustainable system for the management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Bangladesh through the practical application of ‘WasteSafe Approach’. Khulna, the third largest city of Bangladesh and situated at the Southwest region of the …

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 …

The paper is concerned with the anaerobic co-digestion of wastewater treatment plant sludge and organic waste coming from the fresh food department of a large market store where a source separated collection system is installed. In particular the study is aimed to verify – by means of pilot plant operation …

The mechanical-biological pre-treatment of wastes has far-reaching effects on the construction and operation of landfills. The emplacement and storage behaviour of the mechanical-biological pre-treated waste (MBW) in the landfill will fundamentally different itself in many areas from the experiences which have been gained in the past with the operation of …

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. …

A Study on hierarchical framing and standardization of leaching tests for recycled products are in progress under a research project “Studies on methodology to set environmental safety quality level based on standardization of the testing system for secondary recycled products”. The aim is focused on the risks for soil and …

With the aim of reducing Greenhouse gases emissions and in general environmental impact of landfills, scientific research has been concentrated, since several years, on monitoring and control of non-collected emissions of landfill gas, since these are the main responsible for the landfill environmental load. With reference to these issues, the …
