Go for the Cheap but Secure Lab Waste Removal and Recycling Plan!
In the last couple of decades, the number of laboratories that are part of universities, hospitals and other facilities is growing and this is definitely good news. Thanks to these labs we can improve our quality of life. However, during the process of research and use of these labs, specialists who work there create lab waste. This waste can be potentially dangerous and this is the reason why ...

Enhanced waste-management practices reduce carbon emissions and support lower landfill taxes
Landfill taxes and ‘enhanced waste management’ practices have been introduced to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill and to convert waste into useful products. This study investigated the interplay of these two policy options in Belgium, generating findings that could help Europe move towards a resource-efficient, circular economy. Landfill taxes and ‘enhanced ...

Leachate Wastewater Treatment for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Applications
Leachate Wastewater Treatment for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Applications Landfill leachate from municipal solid waste landfills is a major environmental concern and a worldwide problem because of its heavy contamination and treatment complexity of such wastewater. In fact, the leachate wastewater produced from landfills can migrate to and contaminate the soil surface and groundwaters if ...

Treatment of Medical waste
Understanding The Treatment Of Medical Waste There Are Several Different Ways To Treat Medical Waste – But Incineration Is One Of The Safest And Most Effective. The safe treatment and disposal of medical waste is a big challenge for the medical industry. Medical waste can be very dangerous, and it needs to be effectively treated in one way or another before it can be disposed of in a ...

Emission of volatile organic compounds from solid waste disposal sites
The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a solid waste disposal site for municipal solid wastes was quantified. The VOCs contained in the landfill gas taken at the site were benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethyl benzenes, and trimethyl benzenes, while the concentrations of chlorinated compounds were very low. The concentration of benzene in the landfill gas samples ranged from below the ...

Utilisation of landfill gas for the generation of energy
The gases in landfill sites that develop during degradation processes, largely contribute to the greenhouse effect and additionally harbour considerable safety and health hazards. However, they are also often rich in methane and therefore a potential energy carrier. In many countries much of this potential for the generation of electricity and heat from landfill gas still exists. Furthermore, ...

Landfill Cap Enhancements
Introduction: The precipitation to the landfill cover is balanced by the combination of following effects: run-off, cumulating in soil, evapotranspiration, and percolation. For a given amount of precipitation, in order to reduce or eliminate percolation, the effects of run-off and/or evapotranspiration need to be enhanced. Water Harvesting Water harvesting uses runoff enhancement to manage ...
