ANAEROBIC CO-DIGESTION OF SOURCE SELECTED ORGANIC WASTE AND SEWAGE SLUDGE

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 …

COMPARISON OF THE ENERGY RECOVERY AND USAGE OF COMPOST FROM GREEN WASTE: WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON PRIMARY RESOURCES?

The German Biomass Regulation (§2 and §3) allows the use of bio and green waste for energy recovery, including electricity generation. This implies governmental support for energy recovery of this waste. The sponsored amount – calculated through the calorific value – ranges between 85 and 160 €/t. The aim of …

MODERN LANDFILL TECHNOLOGY – LANDFILL BEHAVIOR OF MECHANICAL MECHANICALBIOLOGICAL PRE-TREATED WASTE

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 …

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 …

SOIL CONTAMINATION CAUSED BY URBAN SOLID WASTE LEACHATE

Almost 60% of waste disposal sites in Brazil are open dumps with no infrastructure for environmental protection. It is usual to find uncovered waste. The rainwater runs off over the uncovered top of the waste dump. This water may contaminate the soil. This paper discusses the contamination values in the …
