in order to study the influence of municipal waste compost and chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components in maize (zea mays l.) an experiment was conducted at research farm of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2007. the experiment was arranged in split plots based on complete randomized block design with two factors and three replications. main plot incl...

Waste water was collected from the municipal town of Madurai and was subjected to filtration in two different filters. The first filter employed sand for the process of filtration where as the second filter carbon for the same. Finally when the clarified water is drawn out of the filter, it shows that there is a considerable reduction in the physico-chemical parameters then that of the untreate...

This study compared the populations of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and the repertoire of antimicrobial resistance genes in four environments: effluent of three municipal wastewater treatment facilities, three cattle feedlot runoff catchment ponds, three swine waste lagoons, and two "low impact" environments (an urban lake and a relict prairie). Multiple liquid and solid samples were collec...

INDIA IS FACING serious environmental problems such as waste1 ,water and air pollution due to the fast growth of urbanisation and industrialisation. The subject of solid waste management (SWM) in Hyderabad (India) represents one of particular interest for this 23rd WEDC conference on ‘partnership and innovation’. This paper will represent a unique scheme which is based on a combination of partn...

Waste management, being one of the most important aspects of urban development, is gaining importance among developing nations. Landfills, which were initiated for hazardous waste management and subsequently transformed into sanitary landfills, have been the most widely adapted practice for municipal solid waste management worldwide. However, the conventional design of landfills not only fails ...

An experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications and 14 fertilizer treatments in year 2014. The treatments were including the control, application of chemical fertilizers according the soil analysis, application of 15, 30 and 45 tons of municipal  waste compost per ha as simple and with 25, 50 and 75% of chemical fertilizers. The results revealed that the ...

Landfills are a significant source of greenhouse gases, which contribute to the process of global warming. In the region covered by the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC), changes in consumption patterns have led to an excessive dump of municipal solid waste (MSW). Thus, it is clearly an important time to re-evaluate conventional waste management protocols in order to establish methods that not on...

Municipal sewage sludge is a solid, semisolid, or liquid muddy looking residue that results after plain old sewage (human and other waste from households and industries) is treated at a waste water treatment plant. Recent restrictions on the use of sewage sludge, however, have resulted in increased disposal problems. Sludge contains a variety of organic and inorganic compounds in the waste wate...

The three processes of urbanization, industrialization and globalization are positively correlated with municipal solid waste generation and energy consumption in global urban centers. Heavy reliance on fossil fuels in most world cities has contributed not only to global warming and climate change, but also to astronomical increases and volatility in the prices of energy sources. Africa has suf...

NH3 is one of the major substances contributing to secondary generation PM2.5; therefore, management required. In Korea, insufficient, and emission factor used by EPA same as when calculating emissions. particular, waste incineration facilities do not currently calculate case combustion facilities, main ammonia source De-NOx facility, and, in a power plant with calculated. Therefore, Municipal ...
