Water-soluble characteristics of chlorine in char derived from municipal solid wastes

Chlorine in char derived from municipal solid waste (MSW) was characterized and quantified based on its water solubility: easily water-soluble, hardly water-soluble, and non-water-soluble chlorine. For that, a four-cycle process of water-washing, heating or carbonation were carried out. In order to confirm the characteristics of non-water-soluble chlorine, additional thermal treatment and an alkali-acid washing process were applied to washed char. It was found that a large particle size of char (0.5-1.0 mm) significantly contributed to the amount of non-water-soluble chlorine. Pulverization and HNO3-HF digestion were performed to identify a factor to interfere chlorine release from char with a large particle size. Pulverization was proven ineffective for release of non-water-soluble chlorine, whereas approximately 32% of non-water-soluble chlorine was extracted by HNO3-HF digestion. Therefore, the presence of non-water-soluble chlorine is likely to originate from its chemical property rather than simply from its physical one.     

Dynamic workplans and field analytics: Metals assessment by inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectroscopy

Hazardous waste site investigations were carried out at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in Yuma, Arizona and at Hanscom Air Force Base (HAFB) in Bedford, Massachusetts. The purpose of the first was to determine the location and extent of metals contamination throughout the base. The objective of the second was to evaluate the risk of metals contamination to groundwater from soil at three locations within the airfield. Dynamic workplans were developed and an adaptive sampling and analysis plan carried out with the data produced in the field used to support the goals of each project. An inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometer (ICP/OES) was modified for field operation. A more efficient microwave digestion method and pressurized Teflon filtration system were developed for the HAFB project. Results were comparable to standard Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methods, which must rely on two digestion procedures to recover EPA-targeted metals within the prescribed recovery range. The MCAS investigation, conducted over a five-month period, advanced the Navy's efforts from 30 months behind schedule to 18 months ahead of schedule, while the data generated at HAFB showed no risk to groundwater from metals.     

Energy recovery by incineration of solid wastes in the Federal Republic of Germany

Incineration of solid waste with recovery of energy is practiced in communities serving over 30% of the population of the F.R.G. Although solid waste has an energy content corresponding to only 2% of the total energy demand, in individual cases, up to 9% of the electrical requirements (e.g. Munich) are supplied by waste incineration. The basic problems of energy recovery via incineration are reviewed, and a number of practical suggestions are made for the planning and implementation of such schemes.

Abundance of 14C in biomass fractions of wastes and solid recovered fuels

In recent years thermal utilization of mixed wastes and solid recovered fuels has become of increasing importance in European waste management. Since wastes or solid recovered fuels are generally composed of fossil and biogenic materials, only part of the CO₂ emissions is accounted for in greenhouse gas inventories or emission trading schemes. A promising approach for determining this fraction is the so-called radiocarbon method. It is based on different ratios of the carbon isotopes ¹⁴C and ¹²C in fossil and biogenic fuels. Fossil fuels have zero radiocarbon, whereas biogenic materials are enriched in ¹⁴C and reflect the ¹⁴CO₂ abundance of the ambient atmosphere. Due to nuclear weapons tests in the past century, the radiocarbon content in the atmosphere has not been constant, which has resulted in a varying ¹⁴C content of biogenic matter, depending on the period of growth. In the present paper ¹⁴C contents of different biogenic waste fractions (e.g., kitchen waste, paper, wood), as well as mixtures of different wastes (household, bulky waste, and commercial waste), and solid recovered fuels are determined. The calculated ¹⁴C content of the materials investigated ranges between 98 and 135 pMC.     

Generation of solid wastes in typhoon disasters and their emergent cleaning and treatment means

In Taiwan, typhoons usually result in a large amount of waste that needs to be removed in a short time from July to October. This study reviewed the relevant regulations on the clean-up of typhoon waste, including emergency response regulations, organizations and information systems; and we also discuss different typhoon waste clean-up and disposal methods. The results indicate that the parameters other than the maximum wind speed, such as the maximum accumulated rainfall, flooded area, waste output, sludge output, disinfected area and government dispatched attendance reached statistical significance (p < 0.05). Waste, tree branches and bird carcasses were primarily incinerated, while silt and building materials were buried, and pig and cattle carcasses were placed in a landfill with the tertiary treatment of wastewater. This study also reports on the relevant regulations for prevention of epidemics among personnel working in disaster areas. The results can provide important references for the disposal of typhoon waste in developing countries. As Asian countries have similar life styles and are often attacked by typhoons, the results of this study provide Asian countries with the operating experience of Taiwan in emergency treatment of solid waste resulting from typhoons as a reference for them to plan response systems and operation.

Characteristics of wastes from electric and electronic equipment in Greece: results of a field survey.

The lifespan of electric and electronic equipment is becoming shorter and the amount of related waste is increasing. This study aimed to contribute to the knowledge about qualitative and quantitative characteristics of such wastes in Greece. Specifically, results are presented from a field survey, which took place in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the year 2002. The survey was conducted with suitable questionnaires in department stores and in households of various municipalities. Household appliances were grouped as follows: (A) large (refrigerator, freezer, washing machine, clothes dryer, electric cooker, microwave oven, electric heater), (B) small (vacuum cleaner, electric iron, hair dryer), (C) information technology and telecommunication equipment (PC, laptop, printer, phone) and (D) consumer equipment (radio, TV, video, DVD, console). The analysis indicated that the lifespan of all new goods is gradually reducing (apart from refrigerators, for which the lifespan was surprisingly found to be increasing) and provided linearized functions for predicting the lifespan, according to the year of manufacture, for certain large appliances.     

Usefulness of TAO model to predict and manage the transformation in soil of carbon and nitrogen forms from West-Africa urban solid wastes

The TAO model of Transformation of Added Organic materials (AOM) calibrated on AOMs and substrates of temperate areas was used to assess the transformations in soil of carbon and nitrogen forms of AOMs: raw materials, selected mixtures and composts from Ouagadougou urban wastes. AOMs were studied in terms of chemical and biochemical contents and for their C and N mineralization during incubations in a typical Ferric Lixisol of the sub-urban agriculture of Ouagadougou. The TAO model was used to predict the transformations of C (very labile, resistant and stable organic C) and N (very labile, resistant and stable organic N, produced and immobilized inorganic N) forms driven by AOM biochemical data. Without any change in calibration formulae, TAO predicted accurately the C transformations and inorganic N production of most of the tested AOMs, with a tendency to slightly overestimate C mineralization of previously well-composted materials and re-mineralization of immobilized N. Complementary adjustments using more complete data from laboratory experiments are suggested, but the model agrees with other data collected in the field and appears as a promising tool to optimise the management of urban wastes in the tropical area as well as for agro industrial organic fertilizers of the temperate zone. This application suggests ways to improve the management of urban wastes aiming to optimize agricultural yields, system sustainability and C sequestration in soil.     

Characterization and mass balance of dioxin from a large-scale municipal solid waste incinerator in China

The input and output samples from existing large-scale municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) were collected and analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-р-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in this study, aiming to evaluate PCDD/F characteristic and the corresponding mass balance through the whole system. The grate-type MSWI is equipped with semi-dry scrubber, activated carbon injection, and bag filter as air pollutant control devices (APCDs). Results showed that on the output side, the stack gas, bottom ash and fly ash presented their mean dioxin levels of 0.078 ng I-TEQ/Nm(3), 12.94 ng I-TEQ/kg and 858 ng I-TEQ/kg, respectively, and showed large similarities in congener profiles. Instead, on the input side, the municipal solid waste (MSW) presented a mean dioxin level of 15.56 ng I-TEQ/kg and a remarkable difference in congener profiles compared with those of the output. The dioxin mass balance demonstrated that the annual dioxin input value was around 5.38 g I-TEQ/yr, lower than the total output value (7.62 g I-TEQ/yr), signifying a positive dioxin balance of about 2.25 g I-TEQ/yr.     

Speciation and quantitation of degradation products of silicones (Silane/Siloxane Diols) by gas chromatography—mass spectrometry and stability of dimethylsilanediol

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methodology was developed to speciate and quantitate several degradation products of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in soil. We have demonstrated that the major degradation product,viz., dimethylsilanediol, can be readily analyzed by GC-MS without derivatization as commonly practiced in analyzing such materials. A mixture of linear siloxane diols (n = 1–5, wheren is the number of Me₂SiO units), and cyclic dimethylsiloxanes (n = 4–6) was resolved by GC-MS. We also found that peak identity of various diols required that GC-MS is done in the chemical ionization (CI) mode, since the electron impact (EI) ionization mode produced similar mass fragmentation patterns for diols and cyclics containing the same number of silicon atoms. For siloxane diols, detection limits ranged from 100 pg (forn = 1) to 1 ng (for n = 5). For cyclics, the detection limit was about 1 pg. Dimethylsilanediol, known to be unstable even in the solid state, was shown by NMR techniques to be stable in aqueous solution at <0.1% concentration. A 100-ppm solution was stable for over a year. Purity check for dimethylsilanediol is best carried out by Si-29 solid-state NMR technique.
