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. …

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 …

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 …

ARE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES READY FOR FIRST WORLD WASTE POLICY INSTRUMENTS?

The findings of on-going research conducted within South Africa on waste policy instruments shows that while typical command-and-control instruments lack effective monitoring and enforcement, alternative policy instruments such as economic or information based strategies, are either slow to find favour or fail soon after implementation. Developing countries, such as South …

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 …
