Web-Resol Tudo sobre Limpeza Urbana e Resíduos Sólidos!
A fração orgânica putrescível dos resíduos sólidos urbanos pode ser aproveitada através do processo de tratamento
anaeróbio de resíduos sólidos orgânicos realizados com substrato contendo em média cerca de 5% (percentagem em
peso) de sólidos totais. A matéria orgânica vai gerar como produtos o biogás contendo em sua composição um
considerável percentual de gás metano e material bioestabilizado que pode ser utilizado como agente condicionador
de solos. O presente trabalho objetiva avaliar os parâmetros operacionais pH, AGV e AT no processo de
bioestabilização anaeróbia de resíduos sólidos orgânicos. O reator anaeróbio tinha capacidade unitária de 2200
litros, sendo 1850 litros destinados ao substrato afluente e o restante ao biogás produzido. O reator foi alimentado
diariamente com resíduos sólidos orgânicos frescos e com tempo de detenção de 90 dias. Após atingir o estado de
equilíbrio dinâmico, o biogás apresentava cerca de 60% de gás metano e a relação AGV/AT decresceu
gradativamente ao longo do período de monitoração

Waste management poses challenges, but could unlock major environmental and economic gains
Every day, the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest metropolises in the Southern Hemisphere, generates 17,000 tonnes of waste, ranging from large industrial debris to candy wrappers bought innocently at newspaper stands. While this waste presents a serious and urgent environmental challenge, it also fuels an increasingly significant portion of the economy, with benefits extending beyond financial gains. - When we look at developed European countries, many are already recycling between 40% and 50%, with some reaching 60%. From an economic standpoint, both recyclable materials and organic waste hold tremendous value - stated Adalberto Maluf, National Secretary for Environment and Environmental Quality at the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), during the Methane Forum: Climate Emergency Brake, at the Rio Nature and Climate Week. Citing a 2025 report, Maluf mentioned that Brazil literally throws away R$27 billion annually, while municipalities spend significantly more - R$45 billion - managing all this waste, often overlooking the environmental impact or economic potential buried in landfills and dumps. - We spend R$45 billion to collect and dispose of waste in landfills, yet we manage to recycle less than a third of the potential. I believe it will be necessary to review contracts, create performance-based remuneration mechanisms, and pay for both effectively sorted materials and those diverted from landfills - he added. According to the IBGE, 60.5% of Brazilian municipalities adopt some form of selective waste collection, and several initiatives serve as examples of how to manage city waste. In his panel presentation, Bernardo Ornelas, Project Coordinator at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), highlighted Ecoparque do Caju, a national benchmark in waste management and recycling. There, received materials are sorted and can be used for biogas production, organic compounds for urban gardens, or human consumption, in the case of still...
