The conventional landfilling does not promote sustainable waste management due to uncontrolled emissions which potentially degrade the environment. In this regard, pre-treatment of municipal solid waste prior to landfilling significantly enhance waste stabilization and provides various advantages. So in this regard pre-treatment methods of municipal solid waste were investigated. The major obje...

Waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities have been established worldwide as a sustainable method for the disposal of residual waste. In the present study the following competing WtE systems were compared: (1) municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) with energy recovery; (2) co-incineration of waste in old lignite or coal-fired power plants; (3) substitute [refuse-derived fuel (RDF)] incinerators wit...

Abstract Bad choices in municipal waste (MW) management cause negative effects on sustainability. Evolving regulation has identified prevention and recycling as the best strategies; nevertheless, disposal landfilling sites plays an essential role since a complete zero-waste scenario is not realistic, currently. Nowadays, policies require preliminary stabilization to decrease putrescible content...

escalating development of tourism and petroleum industries in small islands such as lavan-iranrequires sound solid waste management. in the present investigation, three scenarios which consist of thecombination of landfill, recycling, incineration and composting and their environmental impacts have beenevaluated for 7514 kg/day of waste generation in lavan island. for this purpose, life cycle a...

The improper treatment of landfill leachates is one the major problems associated with waste landfilling and causes serious environmental pollution at sites their surroundings. To develop a suitable leachate system to minimize risk pollution, it important characterize seasonal temporal variations leachates. This study investigated quality Nam Son in Hanoi, Vietnam 2017–2019 characterized potent...
