This paper provides analyses of municipal waste generation and landfill diversion dynamics based on a 8-years panel dataset for Italy covering 103 provinces. Although absolute declining for waste generation is a long way off, there are some first signals of increasing relative delinking and robust average landfill diversion. Spatial effects seem to be negligible, probably due to the strong dece...

the aim of the present paper was to assess the maximum biochemical methane potential (bmp) of municipal solid waste. a fresh stock of the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid waste was composed based on the typical composition of biodegradable waste disposed at the landfill. bmp tests were performed under controlled conditions. the cumulative methane generation profile was corrected for me...

1. NATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGEMENT AND REGULATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND DECOMMISSIONING 1.1 National framework 1.1.1 Overview of national policy The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) of the Korean government developed the “National Radioactive Waste Management Policy” at the 249 th meeting held on September 30, 1998. The policy stipulates that the site selection process for radioactive waste ...

The relationship between social stratification and municipal solid waste generation remains uncertain under current rapid urbanization. Based on a multi-object spatial sampling technique, we selected 191 households in a rapidly urbanizing area of Xiamen, China. The selected communities were classified into three types: work-unit, transitional, and commercial communities in the context of housin...

This paper is an attempt to estimate the quantity of Industrial solid waste (ISW) that can be generated in the Durg-Bhilai Twin city (DBTC), C.G, India from 2010 to 2026. The prediction of Industrial solid waste generation plays an important role in solid waste management. Yet achieving the anticipated prediction accuracy with regard to the generation trends facing many fast growing regions is ...

-----------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT---------------------------------------------------------To plan effectively and successfully manage the solid wastes, proper quantification and characterization are essential. Recovery from solid waste is an important aspect where as disposal is only the final option. Recovery of methane from landfills is rarely practiced in In...

The food processing industry is very diverse. The diversity of the industry is apparent not only by the vast array of final products but also by the waste generated. Food processing waste, though not considered to be a health hazard, can be formidable in the quantities generated. Even the smallest seasonal plant is capable of producing waste loads equivalent to a population of 15,000-25,000 peo...

One of the challenges faced by waste management authorities is determining the amount of waste generated by households in order to establish waste management systems, as well as trying to charge rates compatible with the principle applied worldwide, and design a fair payment system for households according to the amount of residential solid waste (RSW) they generate. The goal of this research w...

conclusions based on the findings obtained, the rate of total waste generation in the amol hospital is similar in range to that of other iranian hospitals, however, the hazardous fraction of this waste was high in comparison to other previous studies, and this is probably due to improper separation and management of the waste materials. results based on this study’s findings the average rate of...

forecasting of municipal waste generation is a critical challenge for decision making and planning,because proper planning and operation of a solid waste management system is intensively affected by municipal solid waste (msw) streams analysis and accurate predictions of solid waste quantities generated. due to dynamic and complexity of solid waste management system, models by artificial intell...
