A multi-criteria decision tool, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to appropriate technologies for fruit and vegetables waste discharge at Robinson Deep landfill. The...
Requirements for quality of solid char from pyrolysis of municipal solid waste were studied from the point of view of possible utilization for combustion. Laboratory tests of pyrolysis were carried out with samples of municipal solid waste with various moisture. Mineral phases in solid char were determined by X-ray diffraction. Behavior of hazardous elements during pyrolysis was studied and possibility...
Energy from waste, is a perspective source to replace fossil fuels in the future, municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification is a new technique for waste treatment. MSW can be combusted directly to generate heat and electricity, and by means of gasification it can also be converted into bio-fuels in the forms of liquid (e.g., bio-oils, methanol and ethanol), and gas (e.g., methane and hydrogen). This...
The three-level management system on municipal solid waste treatment which are the source, middle and end treatment methods in Beijing are introduced in this paper, three waste handle workflows which are waste transfer station, refuse derived fuel and composting workflow about these methods are also shown. All of these treatment methods should be fully used to rationally and economically develop the...
