solid waste municipal landfill can have significant health, economic and environmental effects. therefore, there is a need to comprehensive land evaluation for locating the best landfill place. the purpose of this paper is showcasing the process undertaken to locate the best landfill site for municipal solid waste of golpayegan township. at first, three alternatives were proposed after field su...

With increased population, rapid industrialization and life style changes, the characteristics and the rates of solid waste generation have gone under drastic change in India. Generally, in India, management of solid waste landfill is of major concern with respect to the existing circumstances. The illegal dumping of municipal solid waste on the outskirts of cities is creating major environment...

This study investigated the immunotoxic potentials of raw and simulated leachates from Olushosun municipal solid waste landfill in rat using quantitative leucocyte and differential counts. Blood samples of rats intraperitoneally exposed to 1 – 25 % concentrations of each of the leachate samples for 48 hours were examined post treatment for leukocyte and differential counts. Compared to the nega...

Background & objectives: Increasing solid waste has made waste management an important challenge in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to comparative evaluation of the application of incineration technologies and other waste disposal methods in Iran using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in 2019. Methods: In this descriptive-applied research, after making a hierarchy, the...

An investigation into the possibility of replacing the conventional biomass with biodegradable municipal solid waste, which provides an alternative solution for preventing the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid waste (BMSW) going into landfill required by EU Landfill Directives (1999/31/EC) was carried out. However, as every type of energy have some advantages as well as disadvantages. T...

Prediction of biodegradation processes for the organic fraction of municipal solid waste is an issue of paramount interest for efficient landfill design and management. This paper presents the results obtained from an extended field work developed in a time period of ten years. Solid waste samples from a landfill were collected at different depths in 5 holes with depth of 17 m, and analyzed in ...

WARREN H. CHESNER Chesner Engineering, P.C. This paper presents an overview of a recently pat­ ented technology which defines the process of using selected waste products to assist in reclaiming existing municipal solid waste landfill sites [1]. The process in­ volves the pressurized injection of these materials into the void spaces of existing landfill sites to both manage the waste product an...
