Abstract:
The primary goal of this research work was to devise a process to treat hazardous fly ash, so as to render it environmentally stable and useful for industrial, structural, and ornamental applications. The process selected entails transforming fly ash into a glass-ceramic material. This involved melting the fly ash into a slag at 1500°C for 2 hours, followed by water quenching. The amorphous products obtained were then heat treated, so as to induce nucleation and crystallization. The specific heat treatmen

A kinetic study of the pyrolysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) was carried out bythermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Different runs were performed at heating rates of 5, 10and 150C/min. The effect of the N2, CO2 and O2 gas with different combination in theprocess was also evaluated. The results show that the most weight loss was obtained whenthe MSW was treated at a temperature interval of (20-750)0C which led to a weigh loss of95%.

Abstract:
An organic fraction from municipal solid waste (MSW) comprised 38.9% (w/w) glucose (cellulose and starch) indicating its potential as a substrate for bioalcohol production. Microscopy indicated that the fraction was rich in waste paper fibres. Much paper waste comes from shredded office paper (50.4% w/w glucose) which is unrecyclable because of poor fibre length. This, and microbiological hazards associated with the use of MSW led to its choice as model substrate for study.

Abstract:
The biochemical methane potential (BMP) of a substance is a measure of the volume of methane gas produced per unit mass of that substance, through the process of anaerobic biodegradation. As the socio-economic consequences of climate change have become more apparent, the ability to predict the long-term cumulative environmental impact of various human activities has become more necessary. Landfills can be a substantial source of methane (a greenhouse gas) to the atmosphere, and consequently BMP is an important tool for predicting the potential cumulative long-term impacts of a landfill to the

Abstract:
Municipal solid waste (MSW) production has significantly increased in the rapidly urbanizing developing world and also changed composition with increased decomposable organic fraction in MSW (OFMSW) and plastics content. This has stressed the environment in many ways while city managers and citizens have responded with various technological and management solutions leading to a need for scientific, environmental, technological and sustainability assessments of the emerging problems. This sets the research agenda and framework for this study wherein the MSW generation, composition, processing a

Abstract:
Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in population, livening standards, the generation rates of solid waste are increasing drastically. The landfill waste includes both organic and inorganic wastes as it is not often effectively segregated before disposal. The problem is acute in developing countries such as India.

Abstract:
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the engineering properties of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) that are necessary in the design of landfills. The engineering properties of MSW such as compressibility, shear strength, stiffness and hydraulic conductivity are crucial in design and construction of landfills. The variation of the engineering properties with time, age and degradation are of paramount importance in the field of landfill engineering. There is a need to address the role of the engineering properties in landfill engineering as it is not apparent how the engineering characteristi

Abstract:
Dumping of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated due to anthropogenic activities in any barren land or out fields causes severe hazards to human populations, ecosystems and the environment. In order to avoid this, it is required to design landfills in an engineered and scientific manner. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the behaviour of landfills over a period of time, to design landfills for site specific conditions. In this thesis such an attempt is made to evaluate performance of conventional landfill system using a large scale anaerobic reactor in the laboratory. The performance of

But the incinerated fly ash contained heavy metals, and considered to be harmful material. The purpose of this study is to extract heavy metal in fly ash from municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerator using microwave.
