Both planning and design of municipal solid waste management systems require accurate prediction of solid waste generation. Yet achieving the anticipated prediction accuracy with regard to the generation trends facing many fast-growing regions is quite challenging. The lack of complete historical records of solid waste quantity and quality due to insufficient budget and unavailable management c...

Waste is a byproduct of human life. Nowadays, municipal solid waste is being produced in excessive amounts and in this way, both developing and developed countries are facing challenges regarding generation of waste. Economic development, urbanization and improved living standards in cities have contributed to increase in the amount and complexity of solid waste produced. The present stud...

1.0 Problem Statement The disposal of municipal solid wastes is one of the most serious problems facing Waste generation is on the increasing trend due to exponentially renders waste management as a significant problem. The solid waste generation (lb/capita/day) has been on increasing trend since 1980, with the curr New York State alone generates 8.4 million tons of municipal solid waste per ye...

Municipal solid waste management is a major challenge, especially in metropolises. This research focuses on a non-technical issue in municipal solid waste management named municipal solid waste separation at the source and seeks to find the best policy in terms of model results. Source separation for recycling has been recognized as a way to achieve sustainable municipal solid waste (MSW) manag...

-----------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT---------------------------------------------------------To plan effectively and successfully manage the solid wastes, proper quantification and characterization are essential. Recovery from solid waste is an important aspect where as disposal is only the final option. Recovery of methane from landfills is rarely practiced in In...

background: municipal solid waste (msw) is the natural result of human activities. msw generation modeling is of prime im­portance in designing and programming municipal solid waste management system. this study tests the short-term pre­diction of waste generation by artificial neural network (ann) and principal component-regression analysis. methods: two forecasting techniques are presented in...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) characterisation across socioeconomic residents is necessary for planning sustainable solid waste management. In view of planning for Kumba municipality in the South West Region of Cameroon, three types of socioeconomic residents classified as low, medium and high income residential areas were randomly sampled. In each residential area, 32 households were sampled fol...

A prognosis model has been developed for solid waste generation from households in Hoi An City, a famous tourist city in Viet Nam. Waste sampling, followed by a questionnaire survey, was carried out to gather data. The Bayesian model average method was used to identify factors significantly associated with waste generation. Multivariate linear regression analysis was then applied to evaluate th...

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...

the aim of the present paper was to assess the maximum biochemical methane potential (bmp) of municipal solid waste. a fresh stock of the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid waste was composed based on the typical composition of biodegradable waste disposed at the landfill. bmp tests were performed under controlled conditions. the cumulative methane generation profile was corrected for me...
