This article deals with the application of spatial multiple criteria evaluation concepts and methods to support the decision-making process for site selection for waste disposal. The process makes use of a recently developed Spatial Multiple Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) module, integrated into ITC’s existing geographic information system called “ILWIS”. This module supports several compensatory a...

The moisture retention and compression characteristics of municipal solid waste under self-weight are likened to those of an unsaturated soil. By assuming that the solid organic fraction in waste retains a relatively immobile micropore moisture and that deformation at low confining stress occurs at the expense of a relatively large macropore system, an insight into the variation of density and ...

The Government of India has promulgated the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules (HW (M&H)) in 1989 through the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF) under the aegis of Environment (Protection) Act [E(P) Act], 1986. Also in order to encourage the effective implementation of these rules, the MOEF has further brought out the Guidelines for HW (M & H) in 1991. However, case studies r...

The use of landfills has been applauded in municipal solid waste management as a critical solution to open dumping and burning. Selection suitable landfill sites presents challenge it involves integration numerous criteria sustainability template without prejudice the environment. aim this paper is delineate appropriate for basement complex Ado-Ekiti, South-western Nigeria. need that meet scien...

At the present day in Russia the change of ferrous metals production technology results in the change of the chemical composition of solid waste from iron and steel works. Traditional approaches to waste recycling methods stop meeting the requirements of geoecological safety. The paper offers a methodology of usage of the ferrous industry waste taking into consideration a life cycle of the mate...

1. NATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGEMENT AND REGULATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND DECOMMISSIONING 1.1 National framework 1.1.1 Overview of national policy The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) of the Korean government developed the “National Radioactive Waste Management Policy” at the 249 th meeting held on September 30, 1998. The policy stipulates that the site selection process for radioactive waste ...

background and purpose: due to the lack of accurate statistics on the amount of waste generated in the energy production sector in zahedan, before any planning, one should identify all waste producing centers associated with the energy sector and also the quantity and quality of their waste in zahedan. materials and methods: this research is a cross-sectional descriptive study. it examined the ...

Landfills are an effective way to dispose of waste and appropriate landfill sites can lessen environmental damage during treatment. Solid site (SWLS) selection has received much attention in the area multi-criteria decision-making recent years. However, uncertainty complexity SWLS make it a significant challenge for decision makers (DMs). Since single-valued neutrosophic (SVN) sets have great a...
