Biostabilization of municipal solid waste

Waste Management, 2004
A mechanical-biological process for municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment was monitored for one year. Mechanical pre-treatment provided two fractions. The oversize fraction (diameter > 50 mm) (yield of 600 g kg(-1) ww) (46 Mg day(-1)) was used for refuse derived fuel production, after undergoing a mechanical refining processes, because of low moisture ...

Municipal Solid Waste

2020
In this chapter, the sampling, preconditioning, as well as physico-chemical, biochemical and thermal characterization methods for municipal solid waste are introduced. The typical equipment used in the sample preparation and characterization are illustrated.

The municipal solid waste system and solid waste characterization at the municipality of Veles, Macedonia

Waste Management, 2007
A short-term study to characterize the solid waste stream in the Municipality of Veles, Macedonia, was performed during a 1 week period in the summer of 2002. In this study, several important parameters of the municipal solid waste stream were assessed.

Composting of municipal solid waste

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2010
This paper reviews the literature on the composting process, which is one of the technological options for the processing of municipal solid wastes (MSWs). The process assumes a great significance, particularly from the point of its economic viability, capability for recycling of nutrients and waste minimization with minimum environmental problems.

Drum composting of municipal solid waste

Environmental Technology, 2011
The high initial C/N ratio (> 30) found in Indian municipal solid waste (MSW) leads to more time required for composting (> 3 months), with poor-quality compost production. Therefore, the effects of MSW amended with cattle manure (trial 1) and tree leaves (trial 2) were compared with unamended MSW (control) in a rotary drum composter.

Municipal Solid Waste

2013
Municipal solid waste production has increased over the past years. The European Union Waste Framework Directive establishes different hierarchy levels for its management, where prevention and recycling appear as the most convenient management strategies for the organic fraction of MSW. This fraction can be either recycled by composting or by anaerobic

Potentials for the prevention of municipal solid waste

Waste Management, 2008
Waste prevention has been assigned the highest priority under European waste management law. However, the initiatives which have been taken so far have not reduced the regular annual increase in total waste arising across Europe. The purpose of this paper is to quantify and analyze in depth the prevention potential for selected case studies ...

Enzymatic processing of municipal solid waste

Waste Management, 2010
The focus of this work was to investigate an enzymatic liquefaction of MSW organics, paper and cardboard. Liquefaction trials were conducted in different trial volumes: 50 g lab-scale trials and 5 0kg vessel-tests and evaluated based on particle size and viscosity. The viscosity results showed that Celluclast 1.5L had the singular significant effect on

Aging and compressibility of municipal solid wastes

Waste Management, 2009
The expansion of a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill requires the ability to predict settlement behavior of the existing landfill. The practice of using a single compressibility value when performing a settlement analysis may lead to inaccurate predictions.
