In China, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) problems are growing fast. The annual waste generation increasing almost 10% per year and the population of municipalities is expanding, but sanitary landfill and recycling facilities are still rare to see. With rapid economic development, it is even harder to achieve waste reduction, reuse and recycling than developed countries which have significantly med...

Biosludge is a by-product of secondary wastewater treatment processes. Due to its high contents of organic carbon and plant nutrients, this bioresource can be practically reused as raw feedstock for making organic fertilizers and building materials. The objective of this paper was to provide a preliminary analysis of biosludge utilization in Taiwan, including food processing sludge, wine brewer...

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 ...

Abstract Management at a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) is necessary to save the environment from pollution. MSWLF, which previously used sanitary landfill system, has changed an open dumping system. An system can cause decay environment. This study aims compare municipal solid waste disposal site management in two different regions. The research location Depok City and Klaten Regency. ...

Introduction: Current energy sources are coming to end and one of the main priorities of the country’s management is the energy recovery from renewable energy. Considerable quantity of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the most serious urban pollution sources. Impact assessment matrix is a new and fast tool for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Materials and Methods: In this regard, r...
