A comprehensive review of heat generation in various types of wastes and of the thermal regime of waste containment facilities is provided in this paper. Municipal solid waste (MSW), MSW incineration ash, and mining wastes were included in the analysis. Spatial and temporal variations of waste temperatures, thermal gradients, thermal properties of wastes, average temperature differentials, and ...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the recovery potential of solid waste in mashhad. the solid waste generated in the regions 4, 5 and 6 has been quantified and characterized using direct weighing, physical testing and truckload sampling methods. to determine the quantity and quality of waste generated and its seasonal variations, chemical and physical analysis were carried out for on...

Methane can be produced by anaerobic digestion. The Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) test is widely applied to determine the anaerobic biodegradability of wastes. It is based on a fermentation process, which is time consuming, about 30 days. This study investigates the use of near infrared spectroscopy to predict the Biochemical Methane Potential value of municipal solid waste. Near infrared...

The article is devoted to the description of correction method special vehicle fuel allowance, doing collection and transporting solid municipal wastes. developed mathematical model presented, allows predict consumption vehicles in operation practices. Its efficacy was proved. Software implementation offered companies for practice using allowance.

In a broad sense, all materials with biological origin can be called biomass, which includes those that have been obtained from the direct conversion of solar energy, such as plants and crops, their residues, industrial transformation well subproducts residues organic fraction municipal solid wastes [...]

Landfill gas (LFG) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) generated by anaerobic degradation of decomposable municipal solid wastes (MSW). LFG contains (50-60%) of methane (CH4) and (40–50%) carbon dioxide (CO2). If a landfill is neither aerated nor equipped with gas capture systems, the LFG emissions, mainly CH4, in the cover soil is best reduced by using a biocover. Biocovers normally act as a biof...

Sanitary landfill is the common strategy for municipal solid waste management in developing countries. Anaerobic decomposition of disposed wastes in landfill under favorable conditions will lead to the landfill gas (LFG) emissions, considering as emerging air pollutants. The emission of greenhouse gases, including methane, resulting from municipal solid waste disposal and treatment processes ar...

background & aim: rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.) is an evergreen and aromatic plant that is used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries-health. little research has been reported on the greenhouse production of this plant. this paper presents the effects of municipal solid waste compost (mswc) and cattle manure on rosemary growth in pots at greenhouse. martial & methods: municip...

Landfilling is one of the most widely used methods for the disposal of municipal solid wastes. The degradation of the organic fraction of the wastes in combination with percolating rainwater leads to the generation of highly contaminated liquid, called leachate. Municipal landfill leachates typically contain high concentrations of inorganic compounds (ammonium and metals), as well as high level...
