In this paper an attempt has been made to develop an appropriate storage and collection plan based on optimal routing model using Geologic Information System in one of the wards of the Singanallur, Coimbatore city, India. The ward map is digitized and georeferenced. The collection bins are attributed and collection routes of the MSW are optimized for degradable and recyclable wastes separately....

Urban waste management is a hard task: more than 30% of the world’s total production Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) not adequately handled, with landfilling remaining as common practice. Another source wastes road pavement industry: service life about 10–15 years, asphalts become stiff, susceptible to cracks, and therefore no longer adapted for paving, so they wastes. To simultaneously solve thes...

Poultry industry wastes, namely feathers and poultry litter, are an interesting source of substrate for biogas production. The aim of this work was to assess the biomethane potential of raw poultry wastes, as well as the possibility of enhancing this potential by favouring the hydrolysis of cellulolytic and proteinaceous material in the wastes by using bioaugmentation and thermochemical pre-tre...

Thus pollution administer along with environmental safety has become the greatest worry of environmental scientists and activists worldwide. Dumping of electronic wastes, lone of the by-produ...

This paper looks at waste minimization practices available to the paint and coatings industry. The paper begins with an introduction to the industry and a description of the products. The steps involved in the manufacture of paints and coatings are then described. The paper then identifies the wastes generated. Source reduction and recycling techniques are the predominant means of minimizing wa...

Generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to rise, which leads to loss of resources and increased environmental risks. The conventional treatment of wastes such as open dumping and land filling cause environmental degradation. Since the major fraction of wastes generated in India is organic wastes, composting has emerged as one of the best methods for treatment of wastes. Composting, ...
