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.

Pyrolysis of municipal solid waste

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, 1974
AbstractA state‐of‐the‐art review describing the characteristics of municipal solid waste (MSW) and assessing the chemistry and technology of pyrolysis of municipal solid waste is presented. The economics of the pyrolysis process are outlined.Combustibles constitute on average about 60% of the weight of MSW and result in an average heating value (“as ...

Biogasification of Municipal Solid Wastes

Journal of Energy Resources Technology, 1981
A series of experiments on the anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal refuse was performed. The refuse fraction used in the study was one of the portions segregated in a resource recovery system developed at the University of California, Berkeley. The scale of experiments includes 4, 9, and 1600-L digesters.

THE ECONOMICS OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

The World Bank Research Observer, 1995
This article examines the generation and management of municipal solid waste through the lens of economics. The authors estimate that the global burden of municipal solid waste amounted to 1.3 billion metric tons in 1990, or two-thirds of a kilogram of waste per person per day.

Municipal solid-waste management in Istanbul

Waste Management, 2010
Istanbul, with a population of around 13 million people, is located between Europe and Asia and is the biggest city in Turkey. Metropolitan Istanbul produces about 14,000 tons of solid waste per day. The aim of this study was to assess the situation of municipal solid-waste (MSW) management in Istanbul.
