The environmental impacts of municipal solid waste (MSW) management have been highlighted in China, due to the continually increasing amount of MSW being generated and the limited capacity of waste treatment facilities. Of particular interest is greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, aided by the Kyoto Mechanisms. China is an important case study for this global issue; however, an analysis of the ent...

Dr. Ghosh has presented a novel technique for the con­ version of Municipal Waste (MSW) to methane rich gas. Prior work has either permitted fermentation to proceed naturally (landfill gas extraction) or used conventional stirred reactors (DOE Ref COM facility). Proposed is to recycle leachate through a mass of solid waste to achieve volatile acids and then to convert the acids to methane in a ...

Aitolo-Akarnania prefecture, western Greece, is an area with strong earthquakes and large active fault systems. The most, the second half of 20th century was characterized for world community by aggravation environmental problem. Anthropogenic pollution environment growth industrial agricultural production, cities, size population, volume their consumption clearly indicates that on brink abyss....

Most of the United States have laws mandating the recycling of municipal solid waste (MSW). In order to comply, municipalities recycle quotas of materials, without regard to fluctuating prices. An inventory system is proposed that allows municipalities to be sensitive to materials prices as they recycle in accordance with state mandates. A dynamic model is developed; it uses historical secondar...

Landfill gas generated by municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is the world’s third largest source of greenhouse emissions. Additionally, accumulation landfill in piles can trigger instability piles. Based on exponential distribution pattern variation permeability coefficients with burial depth measured situ, this paper presents an analytical solution for gas-pressure that more line on-site co...

The disposal of municipal solid wastes (MSW) is one the important issues today. MSW generally disposed in a landfill. disintegration landfill generates wastewater known as leachate and it became budding environmental impacts. seeps into natural ponds next to Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) MSWs are dumped with an irregular Bishkek, has been observed that this situation creates many pollution problems (air...

landfill leachates and leachate sediments were investigated in order to survey the discharge of uranium (u) from municipal solid waste (msw) landfills and municipal solid waste incinerator (mswi) bottom ash landfills. concentrations of u in the leachates were as high as or higher than concentrations of cd, a metal more often discussed when considering the environmental effects of landfill leach...
