Solid Waste Streams Regional and Cultural Variability

Households willingness to pay for improved solid waste management

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...

Solid Waste Management of Hospitals affiliated to Kashan Medical University

  Introduction : Hospital waste always has been tallied as one of the important path for environmental contamination. Technology improvement and growth of population, eventually increases the hospital waste products, besides inadequate management could place healthcare workers, patients, communities and their environment at risks.   Objective : The aim of present study was valuatio...

Determination of specific gravity of municipal solid waste.

This investigation was conducted to evaluate experimental determination of specific gravity (Gs) of municipal solid waste (MSW). Water pycnometry, typically used for testing soils was adapted for testing MSW using a large flask with 2000 mL capacity and specimens with 100-350 g masses. Tests were conducted on manufactured waste samples prepared using US waste constituent components; fresh waste...

Membrane Condenser for Particulate Abatement from Waste-Gaseous Streams

Membrane Condenser (MC) is a novel membrane contactor operation recently investigated for the valorization of industrial waste gaseous streams. In particular, until now, it was applied for water recovery from flue gas, cooling tower plumes, etc. More recently, its effectiveness and flexibility in contaminants (such as, NH3 , HF, SO2 ) removal and control from waste gaseous streams was also prov...
