The recovery of metal(loid)s from municipal solid waste (MSW) samples <10 years old and >10 was investigated using a series pH-dependence leaching batch tests ranging between pH 2 10. Further to this, the influences various parameters, including depth, humic acid (HA) concentrations on Li, Al, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, Hg were investigated. Visual MINTEQ geochemical software then used...

Abstract The development of technologies for processing residual solid mixed waste has only become a focus attention stimulated by the search more efficient energy sources. majority municipal (MSW) is biological origin (biogenic). Typically, half content in MSW from biogenic material. Consequently, this often considered renewable according to input, and as result, yields profit generated can be...

The composition of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the Cairo metropolitan area is investigated. outputs MSW sorting analysis at various locations with different management schemes are presented. Organics (58–75%) and plastic (19–28%) main components a higher percentage organics landfills compared to dumpsites. leachate quality analyzed, results indicate that concentration macro inorganic polluta...

A. John Chandler, A.J�Chandler & Associates Ltd., Willowdale, ON Canada Shin-ichi Sakai, Environmental Preservation Center, Kyoto University, Japan Incineration is generally considered a CO2 neutral means of managing MSW. A thorough evaluation of the environmental effects ofMSW incineration should consider the potential for greenhouse gas effects from the methane emissions of managed landfills ...

This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation to determine the geotechnical properties of fresh municipal solid waste (MSW) collected from the working phase of Orchard Hills Landfill located in Davis Junction (Illinois, USA). Laboratory testing was conducted on shredded MSW to determine the compaction, hydraulic conductivity, compressibility, and shear strength properties at in-...

were tested in this project. TGA/MSffTIR analyses were performed on the raw materials and their blends, and the combustion profiles collected indicated various types of thermal behavior. The results indicated greater possibilities for the formation of organic compounds during co-finng at fast heating rates than at slow heating rates. Experiments in a tube hrnace showed that molecular chlorine i...

it seems that success in municipal wastes management has a detectable relationship with citizens&apos; participation and social mechanisms. so, the present study has done for recognition of systematic relations of effective social parameters on municipal solid waste administration. data have collected in two phase to fill of questionnaires including awareness assessment of msw office&apos;s per...

An important advantage of using a short-term pre-aeration of municipal solid waste (MSW) with high organic fractions prior to landfilling is that it intensively decomposes a part of organic matter, especially easily biodegradable fractions in waste, and thus regulates the subsequent anaerobic degradation of MSW under landfill conditions, meanwhile conserving the bio-methane potential as much as...

This study demonstrates the influence of lysimeter operational condition and tropical seasonal variation of leachate characteristics generated from municipal solid waste (MSW) deposited in landfill lysimeter at KUET campus, Bangladesh. Three different situations of landfill were considered here as well as both the open dump lysimeter-A having a base liner and sanitary landfill lysimeter-B and C...
