Prediction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Municipal Solid Waste Landfills Using LandGEM and IPCC Methods in Yazd, Iran

Hazardous Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

Estimation of gas emission from municipal solid waste landfill in Kuhdasht city using LandGEM software

Background: Large amount of solid waste is annually produced in Kuhdasht city. These waste materials are decomposed by anaerobic microorganisms after burying in disposal site and produce large amounts of gases (mainly methane and carbon dioxide). This study aimed to estimate the gas emission from solid waste disposal of Kuhdasht city using a tool known as LandGEM software. Materials and Method...

Calorific and greenhouse gas emission in municipal solid waste treatment using biodrying

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Urban intensity and activities produce a large amount of biodegradable municipal solid waste. Therefore, biodrying processing was adopted to ensure the conversion into Refuse Derived Fuel and greenhouse gases. METHODS: This study was performed at a greenhouse, using six biodrying reactors made from acrylic material, and equipped...

Mercury air-borne emissions from 5 municipal solid waste landfills

Mercury air-borne emissions from 5 municipal solid waste landfills in Guiyang and Wuhan, China Z. G. Li, X. Feng, P. Li, L. Liang, S. L. Tang, S. F. Wang, X. W. Fu, G. L. Qiu, and L. H.

Heat Generation in Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

This study was conducted to investigate thermal aspects of municipal solid waste landfills as a function of operational conditions and climatic region. Spatial and temporal distributions of waste temperatures were determined at four landfills located in North America �Michigan, New Mexico, Alaska, and British Columbia�. Temperatures of wastes at shallow depths �extending to 6 to 8 m depth� and ...

Estimation of landfill gas generation in a municipal solid waste disposal site by LandGEM mathematical model

Anaerobic decomposition of organic compounds in landfills is responsible for generation of greenhouse gases. The present study aimed to determine the total gas and methane emission from a landfill located in Hamedan (west of Iran) from 2011 to 2030. LandGEM 3.02 model was used to estimate the gas emission with the volumetric methane percent of 60%, production potential of 107, and methane gener...
