Management of organic content in municipal solid waste - a case study of Lahore
Poor solid waste management (SWM) is one of the leading obstacles for absolute clean and healthy environment. Growing economy of Lahore has rapidly increased growth rate which in turn has flared solid waste generation. Municipal solid waste is contributing heavily to air, water and land pollution and a major portion of municipal waste is organic. Generally considered unfruitful, this organic ...

Quality standards of the output fractions after the material specific treatment
The modern era of waste management did not begin in Germany until the mid-1960s. At that time the federal government established the legal basis for proper waste disposal which designated local communities responsible for the disposal of waste. In October 1965 the “Central Office for Waste Disposal” was founded by the federal government and the states (BILITEWSKI et al. 1997). Until the end of ...

Vermicomposting of garbage: a new technology for solid waste management in Hindu temples
In India, at most of the religious places, a huge tonnage of solid waste is generated due to worshipping. This study reports the transformation of organic fraction of Temple Solid Waste (TSW) spiked with Cow Dung (CD) into a value-added product (vermicompost). Vermicomposting resulted in lowering of pH, EC, C : N ratio, C : P ratio and increase in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents. The ...

Home composting of organic waste - part 1: effect of home composter design
Worldwide, health and environmental considerations encourage landfill diversion of the organic fraction (OW) of municipal solid wastes, through alternative such as home composting. Of poor sanitation, and trace element and toxic hydrocarbon content (PAH) documentation, this study compared against a laboratory composter (LR), the performance (temperature regime and compost quality) of four 300 to ...

A case study in land and water regeneration to reduce the impact of climate change by soil bio-sequestration of atmospheric carbon
The whole of landscape regenerative processes are being studied to determine their effect upon carbon bio-sequestration in agricultural soils. The Mulwaree Ponds drainage system, south of Sydney, shows the effects of overgrazing by fine wool sheep over the past 160 years and the resultant loss of perennial groundcover causing nutrient leaching into Sydney's drinking water catchment. Natural ...

Municipal waste management & handling
Several MSW management practices, such as source reduction, recycling, and composting, prevent or divert materials from the wastestream. Source reduction involves altering the design, manufacture, or use of products and materials to reduce the amount and toxicity of what gets thrown away. Recycling diverts items, such as paper, glass, plastic, and metals, from the wastestream. These materials are ...

Dimensioning of bioscrubber/biofilter-combinations for odour treatment at compost facilities
Composting of organic waste has been developed rapidly in Germany in the last years. While Fricke et al. (1992) counted 88 running or planned compost facilities in 1991, the number increased up to about 550 in 1998 with a total capacity of 6.5 Mio t/a of biowaste (Wiemer and Kern, 1998). So, composting is a wide spread, established process in waste management, producing an important product for ...

Environmental evaluation of systems for the recovery of biogenic wastes
The recovery of waste materials is promoted by the German Waste Act 'Kreislaufwirtschafts- und Abfallgesetz'. It requires that among the recovery routes available for a specific waste category the priority has to be on those which are more environmentally compatible. As a restriction given by the law, only those recovery routes which are technically feasible and economically reasonable must be ...

Efficiencies of select vector repellents during composting of Municipal Solid Waste
Presently, most preferred mode of treatment of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) is composting. However, this may lead to health hazard because of the potential presence of pathogens, and vector borne insects, rodents etc., in the compost. Field studies were undertaken towards use of Folidol (organophosphate) and Celrich (biopesticide) as repellents of vectors while composting of MSW. At 0.05 kg m−2 ...

Russia is building new sanitary landfills - how to prolong their lifecycle from the start?
A high-quality landfill compactor is the minimum requirement when operating a safe, sanitary, and profitable landfill. However, to really maximize profitability, a mobile slow-speed industrial waste shredder is a great next step. With the right equipment, you can process waste to extend the lifecycle of a sanitary landfill and get profit from recovering valuable materials from municipal solid ...

Methane emissions reduction from organic wastewater and solid waste co–composting: parameter estimation and sensitivity analysis
Using the approved large scale methodology AM0039 and approved baseline methodology AM0010, an estimated 7,329.04 tCO2e/yr are typically generated from degradation of organic wastes at the landfill in Mauritius. Baseline emissions for anaerobic degradation of organic wastewaters (OWW) in open lagoons approximated to 36,036 tCO2e/yr; 402,783.92 tCO2e/yr for transportation of OWW and municipal ...
