The decomposition of solid urban waste in landfills is essentially a result of microbiological processes and, therefore, the production of biogas and leachate are both directly related to the activity of microorganisms. It has been demonstrated that large variations in leachate quality exist for different landfills, but also at different locations within the same landfill.6... [Pg.573]

The coincineration of solid urban waste in Brazil has received a good deal of study to harmonize the process with the existing technology at the country s cement plants, which are located in many states (Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Parana, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Ceara, and Piaui). [Pg.391]

All these contaminants enter into the environment through human activities (urban waste, deposits of the waste cleaning plants and agricultural cultivations) [45] and various other pathways (atmospheric and fluvial transport) [46]. Environmental pollution by these groups of organic compounds has received considerable attention as a result of public awareness towards environmental problems and expectations for good quality of life [13].

Analyses will be those in common use for soils from fields for both grass and arable crops. MAFF/ADAS (now DEFRA) methods and Index Tables are reproduced by permission of the Controller of Her Majesty s Stationery Office (Ref. 20001327). Analyses for nitrogen mineralization are included. Special consideration will be given to composts and recycled urban waste. [Pg.280]

At the present time, a large number of spent batteries are disposed of directly into the urban waste stream without proper controls. In addition to the most common systems such as zinc-carbon, alkaline manganese and nickel-cadmium, these now include, at an increasing rate, nickel-metal hydride and lithium cells. Such disposal is of serious concern because of the possible effects of battery components on the environment. Consequently, most countries are now evolving policies for collection and recycling. The majority of lead-acid batteries are recycled, but the number of recycling plants in operation worldwide for other battery systems is still very small due to the unfavourable economic balance of such operations (see Table A3.1). Some of the procedures for the disposal and recycling of battery materials are now briefly described. [Pg.318]

Urban waste includes household, sewage, commercial, institutional, manufacturing, and demolition waste. The availability of this waste is directly related to the population living in urban areas of adequate size to support a given size system. [Pg.1717]

Manufacturing and processing wastes include all residuals generated from material inputs that leave the plant as product output. Office and packaging wastes associated with this sector are included in the urban waste sector. The majority of these wastes are from pulp and paper manufacturing, primary and secondary wood manufacturing, and the construction industry. [Pg.1717]
