Assessment of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Leachate Treatment Efficiency by Leachate Pollution Index

Leachate pollution index (LPI) value can be used as a tool to assess the leachate pollution potential of landfill sites particularly at places where there is a high risk of leachate migration and pollution of groundwater and thus can help to take necessary decisions as deem fit. In this paper, leachate treatment efficiency was evaluated on the basis of LPI value of leachate before and after tre...

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...

Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators

more garbage than any other nationover 160 million tons of garbage each year or more than 1,200 pounds per person. EPA expects this to increase to more than 2,300 pounds of garbage per person each year within the next 1 2 years. Whether it is recycled, buried or burned, the fate of this refuse has major impacts on public health, the environment and the economy. United States citizens generate W...
