Abstract:
Power stations provide a huge influence on the environment. This influence can be diverse and integrated: (1) land avulsion, (2) dusting from the open storage spaces of fuel, ash and slags, (3) huge amounts of ash-slug wastes containing toxic metals. The aim of the research is to evaluate the effect of ash-slug wastes of the coal-burning power station Partizanskaya on the ecological state of soils and water bodies. The waters of the Lozoviy Stream are polluted mostly with the residual iodine, bromine, silicium compounds and sulphides. Ash-slags of the coal-burning power station Partizanskaya can be an environmental hazard. The obtained information about the properties of the abiotic components of the industrial area of the coal-burning power station Partizanskayaash-slags, soils and water bodiesare the first step in studying the environmental situation in this area. One of the possible solutions aimed to improve the environmental situation in the industrial area of the coal-burning power station Partizanskaya is recultivation of the ash dump and development of the technologies for the usage of the ash in the household economy.

Abstract:
Power stations provide a huge influence on the environment. This influence can be diverse and integrated: (1) land avulsion, (2) dusting from the open storage spaces of fuel, ash and slags, (3) huge amounts of ash-slug wastes containing toxic metals. The aim of the research is to evaluate the effect of ash-slug wastes of the coal-burning power station (CBPS) Partizanskaya on the ecological state of soils. Transformation of the physical properties of the soils appears in the increasing fraction of coarse grain size, reducing of the sludge content in the soils, which lowers the surface area of the soils and their sorption properties. Ash particles input to the surface of soil leads to the decrease in their antierosion properties. Water capacity properties of the soils are reduced and with the moisture up to 50% soils can flow. The obtained information about the properties of the abiotic components of the industrial area of the CBPS Partizanskayaash-slags, soils are the first step in studying the environmental situation in this area. One of the possible solutions aimed to improve the environmental situation in the industrial area of the CBPS Partizanskaya is recultivation of the ash dump and development of the technologies for the usage of the ash in the household economy.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Disposing of oil and oiled debris from Arctic oil spills presents problems not encountered in temperate regions. The remoteness of potential spill sites, the wide range of environmental conditions, the lack of support facilities like roads and dump sites, and the presence of permafrost make it impossible to use many standard disposal techniques used in the south. To solve this problem, Dome Petroleum Limited, has developed a number of unique techniques for disposing of oil and oiled debris in Arctic spill responses. These techniques include (1) a method for using air-deployable igniters to burn pooled oil, (2) an air-transportable burner that can be flown to remote sites to burn recovered liquid oil with water contents up to 80 percent, (3) a helicopter-transportable incinerator for burning oil-contaminated debris at remote sites, in which forced air cooling replaces refractory material as fire box protection, and (4) a fireproof boom, for offshore open water, that can collect and burn oil in one step. All of these techniques were developed to address specific disposal problems in the Arctic. They now form part of the industry's Beaufort Sea oil spill response arsenal.

Abstract:
The generation, characteristics and energy potential of municipal solid waste for power generation in Nigeria is presented in this paper. Nigeria generates 0.44-0.66 kg/capita/day of MSW with a waste density of 200-400 kg/m3 leading to large volumes of poorly managed waste. The direct burning of these wastes as a waste management option in the open air at elevated temperatures liberates heat energy, inert gases and ash which can be conveniently used for power generation and other applications. The net energy yield depends upon the density and composition of the waste; relative percentage of moisture and inert materials, size and shape of the constituents and design of the combustion system. MSW samples used in this study were obtained randomly from different dump sites in selected state capitals, at least one from each of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria based on the spot sampling method of Corbit. An average calorific value of 17.23 MJ/kg with variable high water content of 20-49% was determined for MSW using a bomb calorimeter and on the basis of an incineration plant of capacity 1500 ton of MSW/day, 700kW/day of power can be generated.

Abstract:
Kagarlinsk copper deposits have been worked out since IV millennium BC and till the end of II millennium BC in the steppes of the South Urals and a huge amount of copper have been recovered from their ores in the Bronze Age. Geophysical studies have been conducted in the south periphery of the Kagarlinsk ore field not far from Belousovka village at the mining-processing complex with the length of 900—1000 m and 30—70 m size across. Something like a hundred of small open-cut mines from 3 to 12 m in diameter are fixed in this area with near side mine dumps, sites for assortment of extracted ore adjoined at stove pits 3—5 m in diameter for burning up lump ores. Thorough topographic, gradient magnetic and geo-radar surveys have been fulfilled in areas where typical objects: open-cut mine, a pit for pilot burning up ores, slime sites and ore store are situated. As a result new data have been obtained on the structure of ancient outputs and associated technological facilities. Numerous magnetic anomalies revealed near the open-cut mine and a pit testify that copper ore encloses sufficient amount of iron and pilot assortment of the burned up ore took place near the pits. According to the results of geo-radar survey special features of pit-stove have been reconstructed and 3D model of the ancient open-cut mine built. A pit for burning up ore was cone-shaped with steps for comfort of loading and unloading ore. Its bottom diameter was 5m, the principal mine was 1—1.5 m in diameter and depth rough 3 m, the volume of the pit did not exceed 13—15 m3. Transversal size of a mine was 7—9 m and the depth was up to 4 m. The open-cut mine had steep sides from the north, east and south and in the west the relief was mildly sloping. The entrance to the open-cut mine was from the west. Initial depth of the open-cut mine differed from the present day surface by 2—3 m. According to our appraisal the amount of extracted ore in this mine was 25—30 tons. Taking into account the overall number of mines some 2—2.5 thousand tons of bulk ore were extracted during operation of Belousovka mining-metallurgical complex.

Abstract:
This study investigated the management of biomedical pollutants in the Accra Metropolitan Area in Ghana, using a qualitative case study approach involving interviews, focus-group discussions, and observation techniques. A state of precariousness was found to characterize the management of biomedical pollutants in the study area, culminating in the magnification of risks to the environment and public health. There is neither a single sanitary landfill nor a properly functioning incineration system in the entire metropolis, and most of the healthcare facilities surveyed lack access to suitable treatment technologies. As a result, crude burning and indiscriminate dumping of infectious and toxic biomedical residues were found to be widespread. The crude burning of toxic biomedical pollutants was found to provide environmental pathways for carcinogenic substances. These include polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hydrogen, lead, mercury, cadmium, chlorobenzenes, particulate matter, and chlorophenols. The improper disposal of biomedical pollutants in open dumps and unsanitary landfills also carries a risk of providing environmental entry points for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), inorganic macrocomponents, heavy metals, and xenobiotic organic compounds.

Abstract:
Environmental context The production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) is regulated under the Montreal Protocol and its amendments, due to their role in stratospheric ozone depletion. Global atmospheric levels of CFC-11 did not decline as rapidly as expected during 2012–2018, in large part due to emissions from eastern China. In order to further clarify global CFC-11 emissions, this work provides a rare set CFC-11 measurements from understudied countries and sources throughout Asia (1998–2018). Abstract Trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) is an ozone-depleting substance whose production and consumption are regulated under the Montreal Protocol. Global atmospheric CFC-11 levels declined less quickly than expected during 2012–2018, largely because of ongoing emissions from eastern Asia. Satellite measurements suggest additional CFC-11 hotspots in the Arabian Peninsula and north India/Nepal. Here we present CFC-11 levels measured in dozens of Asian cities during 1998–2018, including China and Pakistan before the 2010 phaseout of CFC-11, and China, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and South Korea after the phaseout. Surface measurements of CFCs in Nepal, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are very rare, and these surveys provide important observational constraints from understudied regions. During pre-phaseout campaigns, higher CFC-11 levels were measured in Beijing than Karachi, despite much higher overall volatile organic compound (VOC) levels in Karachi. During post-phaseout campaigns, average CFC-11 levels were higher in inland Shandong Province and Seoul (1.11–1.23× background) than in western Saudi Arabia, Lahore and Kathmandu (1.02–1.11× background), despite higher levels of other VOCs in the latter regions. While China is known to emit excess CFC-11, elevated CFC-11 levels in Seoul, especially during stagnant meteorological conditions, suggest local emissions in 2015–2016. Rough emission estimates suggest that South Korea is likely a relatively minor global source of excess CFC-11. Hotspot CFC-11 levels were measured from a landfill fire in Mecca (average of 1.8× background) and from garbage burning in Nepal (1.5× background). Because garbage burning and open burning in dumps are common practices, further investigation of CFC-11 emissions at dumps and landfills worldwide is encouraged to determine their global impact.

Abstract:
Heightened concern about the environment, and particularly the increasing rate of dispersion of toxic substances and irritants has placed severe demands on analytical techniques to define the nature and occurrence of potentially hazardous constituents and devise control technologies as well as to determine the risk to human life. In many cases, environmental contamination involves the presence of very fine particulates, which may pose some health risk in their own right or may simply serve as carriers for hazardous chemicals that fall within the respirable range, i.e. 10 microns or less in major dimension. Electron microscopy, widely used to observe and identify fine particulates in the atmosphere, has already contributed significantly to environmental science but advances in instrumentation are needed to overcome technical and economic limitations to its use.Sources of Environmental ParticulatesAtmosphere particulates, popularly considered to originate primarily from heavy industrial operations such as mining, primary metal production or power generation, can also come from natural sources such as volcanoes, forest fires, silt residue from flooding, and botanical emissions (spores, pollen). Paniculate pollutants also derive from smoking, debris from road wear of automobile and truck tires, fragmentation of asbestos-containing insulation and building materials, food processing, earth moving operations, open burning of agricultural residues and waste dumps and unfiltered emissions from incinerators.

Abstract:
Modern large-scale open pit mines move hundreds of thousands of tonnes of material daily, from the loading sources to the destination zones, whether these are massive mine dumps or, to a lesser extent, to the grinding mills. Mine dumps can be classified as leach or waste dumps, depending upon their economic viability to be processed in-place, a condition that has experienced great progress in the last decades and has reconfigured the open pit haulage network with an increase in the number of dumps. Therefore, new methods for dump design optimization are of the highest priority in mine planning management. This paper presents a methodology to model and optimize the design of a dump by minimizing the total haulage costs. The location and design of these dumps will be given mainly by the geological characteristics of the mineral, tonnage delivered, topographical conditions, infrastructure capital and transportation costs. Spatial and physical design possibilities, in addition, provide a set of parameters of mathematical and economic relationship that creates opportunities for modelling and thus facilitates the measurement and optimization of ultimate dump designs. The proposed methodology consists of: (1) Formulation of a dump model based on a system of equations relying on multiple relevant parameters; (2) Solves by minimizing the total cost using linear programming and determines a "preliminary" dump design; (3) Through a series of iterations, changes the "preliminary" footprint by projecting it to the topography and creates the ultimate dump design. Finally, an application for a waste rock dump illustrates this methodology.

This study had the aim of evaluating the groundwater quality nearby the decommissioned Roger open dump in João Pessoa, Brazil, which was decommissioned in 2003 and occupies an area of 17 hectares, adjacent to the mangrove besides Sanhauá river, which increases the impact produced from the inadequate disposal of solid wastes. During the last three years of operation the open dump also received the solid wastes from the cities of Bayeux and Cabedelo. The monitoring of groundwater quality was done through six wells called P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6, spread over the internal, direct influence and indirect influence areas of the decommissioned open dump. P1, P2, P3 and P4 were particular wells that the owner allowed to be included in the monitoring, while P5 and P6 were constructed in the internal area of the former open dump. Sampling occurred every three or four months during almost three years. The following parameters were monitored: pH, conductivity, hardness, color, turbidity, dissolved total solids, BOD, COD, oil and grease, chloride, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, aluminum, plumb and thermotolerant coliform. For statistical treatment of collected data, analysis of variance through the GT-2 grafic method was employed. Results have shown that P5 and P6 presented the worst water quality indicators suggesting that the former open dump poses some influence on the local groundwater quality. However, oil and grease, thermotolerant coliform and chloride were found in all the wells, indicating that other sources of contamination are present in the site. The groundwater in the region of the decommissioned Roger open dump does not satisfy the standards for drinking water according to Brazilian legislation.
Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade das águas subterrâneas na área da influência do antigo lixão do Roger em João Pessoa. Desativado em 2003, o antigo lixão ocupa uma área de manguezal, com 17 hectares, adjacente ao estuário do Rio Sanhauá, próximo ao centro de João Pessoa, potencializando os problemas ambientais e de saúde pública decorrentes da disposição inadequada de resíduos. Nos últimos anos de funcionamento, o referido lixão também recebeu os resíduos sólidos de cidades vizinhas (Cabedelo e Bayeux). O monitoramento das águas subterrâneas foi realizado através de seis poços denominados P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 e P6, distribuídos entre a área interna do referido lixão (P5 e P6), a área de influência direta (P1 e P4) e a indireta (P2 e P3). Os poços P5 e P6 foram construídos para a pesquisa, enquanto que os outros são de particulares que permitiram o acesso. O P5 é considerado o poço de montante e o P6 de jusante em relação à massa de resíduos sólidos e o fluxo predominante das águas subterrâneas. As águas coletadas foram caracterizadas durante 3 anos com freqüência trimestral ou quadrimestral, através dos seguintes parâmetros: pH, condutividade, dureza, cor, turbidez, sólidos totais dissolvidos, DBO, DQO, óleos e graxas, cloretos, amônia, nitrito, nitrato, alumínio, chumbo, e coliformes termotolerantes. Para tratamento dos dados foi aplicada análise de variância, através do método gráfico GT-2 que permitiu a comparação gráfica dos parâmetros entre os poços, além da análise gráfica do comportamento temporal de cada parâmetro e também com Valores Máximos Permitidos (VMP) estabelecidos pela Portaria nº 518 do Ministério da Saúde e a Resolução do Conselho Nacional de Meio Ambiente (CONAMA) nº 396 de 2008. O monitoramento das águas subterrâneas demonstrou que os poços P5 e P6 apresentaram os piores indicadores de qualidade tanto em comparação a legislação quanto aos demais poços. No entanto, em todos os poços foi constatada a presença de óleos e graxas, coliformes termotolerantes e cloretos, indicando haver outras fontes de contaminação . As águas subterrâneas nas proximidades do antigo lixão do Roger não atendem ao padrão de potabilidade da legislação. Mesmo após a desativação o lixão ainda é uma fonte de contaminação e oferece riscos a saúde da população circunvizinha, além de comprometer os usos futuros que se poderiam fazer das águas subterrâneas.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to understand and evaluate the phenomena that influence the burning rate. In particular it focuses on the separation between solid and liquid phase during the casting process. To evaluate it an open source solver is used (OpenFOAM) with the addition of formulas that allow to evaluate the difference in concentration of solid particles. The obtained results show a significant agreement between experimental data and previous studies, used as references, and the predicted ones. This work is the starting point from which other future studies can draw inspiration to continue the analysis in more detail.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the contestations over the politics of knowledge, risk, and environmental justice in three fenceline sites. Mobilizing the fenceline standpoint to study risk strengthens our objective understanding of the social situatedness of risk. To illustrate how a fenceline standpoint contributes to stronger objectivity of risk contestations, I survey public discourse of coal slurry extraction in Black Mesa, Arizona using an environmental justice framework. Discursive justifications for the construction of the slurry pipeline reveal how environmental injustice in the fenceline community emerged through urban controversies over water and power generation that excluded a fenceline standpoint. Insights from Black Mesa frame the next two cases: open burning hazardous waste at Radford Army Ammunition Plant, and M6 Disposal at Camp Minden, Louisiana. At Radford, scholar-activist research examines the contestations of risk at one of the most hazardous waste facilities in the nation. I analyze the construction of risk from open burning of hazardous waste from a fenceline standpoint. I discursively situate the controversy over fenceline community risk from open burning, by showing the inadequacies of official risk assessments. Critical discourse analysis of risk shows the extant contestations over the practice of open burning. In juxtaposition to Radford, the Camp Minden open burn controversy demonstrates how a fenceline movement successfully constructed alternatives to open burning. Fenceline success in Minden is forcing scrutiny over the risks produced by the practice of open burning explosives across the United States. The activation of fenceline knowledge and expertise, through grassroots organizing, is propelling inquiry from scientific and technical experts of the American Chemical Society who are questioning why the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency have approved the use of open burning at other sites despite safer alternative technology. Synthetically, each case illustrates the importance of fenceline knowledge as a crucial site of expertise. I present an argument for how a fenceline standpoint can challenge regulatory and producer constructions of fenceline risk. The creation of a program of research: Critical Risk Analysis, offers a model for scholar-activist intervention on the fenceline. The Camp Minden Dialogue demonstrates a successful example of how fenceline expert-activists can influence the construction of risk. Normatively, I build the argument that environmental justice research within Science and Technology Studies ought to situate the fenceline standpoint as equal to the competing epistemological claims of production and regulatory experts in order to strengthen the objectivity of our research in contested fenceline sites.

Abstract:
Os sistemas de gestão de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) nos países em desenvolvimento são caracterizados por prestação de serviços inadequados, baixa recuperação de resíduos, ineficiências operacionais e eliminação inadequada dos resíduos. A presença de resíduos sólidos urbanos, representam uma ameaça à saúde pública e ao ambiente se não forem geridos de forma adequada. Em Nampula, província de Moçambique, existem diversas lixeiras a céu aberto e há populações que residem junto dessas lixeiras. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as implicações e percepções sobre os efeitos na saúde e no ambiente dessas populações que vivem junto a lixeiras de RSU na cidade de Nampula. Utilizou-se pesquisa mista, com instrumentos de recolha de dados: questionário epidemiológico e guiões de entrevistas. Foram aplicados 300 questionários, por administração indirecta, a indivíduos residentes em quatro áreas geográficas diferentes e que representam dois grupos: um grupo exposto aos efeitos das lixeiras (grupo dos casos) e que estão sob a administração dos postos administrativos de Carrupeia, MuhalaExpansão e Namicopo; e um grupo não-exposto aos efeitos das lixeiras (grupo dos controlos), que está sob a administração do posto administrativo de Marrere. Foram realizadas doze entrevistas a técnicos: seis a técnicos de saúde e seis a técnicos de ambiente, tendo como base duas entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Para a aplicação do questionário contou-se com o apoio dos secretários dos bairros, os chefes do Município das áreas de meio ambiente e da empresa EMUSANA que ajudaram na selecção da amostra e garantiram a adesão dos participantes. Para a análise descritiva e testes estatísticos de associação e homogeneidade dos resultados utilizou-se o software IBM SPSS Statistics, versão 25.0. Os principais resultados obtidos foram as populações estudadas consideraram que o seu estado de saúde era bom ou razoável. Nas diferentes doenças ocorridas registou-se diferenças significativas para a doença Matequenha, com maior ocorrência nos casos. No entanto as outras doenças também identificadas implicavam a implementação de medidas para se proteger as populações casos e controlo (malária, bilharziose, filária, cólera e febre amarela). As populações casos produziam alimentos nas lixeiras, que consumiam e vendiam, podendo ocorrer a contaminação através da cadeia alimentar. Outro factor de preocupação e exposição tem a ver com a água consumida. Verificou-se que as populações que viviam junto das lixeiras, não tinham conhecimentos sobre os impactos que estas lixeiras podiam fazer na sua saúde e no ambiente. Embora neste estudo não tenha sido possível determinar os contaminantes a que as populações possam estar expostas, o facto da recolha dos resíduos ser indiferenciada e os diferentes tipos de resíduos serem todos depositados nestes locais, é de prever que para além de contaminação por diferentes vectores (mosquitos, ratos e animais domésticos) que podem provocar diferentes doenças tropicais nestas populações, também não são de excluir outros contaminantes tais como metais pesados e compostos orgânicos persistentes. Estas populações são pobres e vulneráveis e é necessário a implementação de um conjunto de medidas para proteger estas populações, tais como: educação das populações de forma eficaz e contínua sobre os riscos; envolvimento destas populações nos processos de decisão e de participação sobre a gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos; reassentamento das populações mais expostas; melhorar as condições de vida e de habitabilidade destas populações; regulamentar os indivíduos que trabalham de forma informal com os Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos.
Urban solid waste management systems (MSW) in developing countries are characterized by inadequate service delivery, low waste recovery, operational inefficiencies and inadequate waste disposal. The presence of urban solid waste poses a threat to public health and the environment if not managed properly. In Nampula city, in Mozambique, populations live near open dumps with open burning. The present study aims to analyze the implications and perceptions about the effects on health and on the environment of these populations that live close to MSW dumps in the city of Nampula. A mixed survey was used with data collection instruments: an epidemiological questionnaire and interview guides. Three hundred questionnaires were administered by indirect administration, to individuals residing in four different geographical areas and representing two groups, a group exposed to the effects of open dumps (case group) and who are under the administration of administrative posts in Carrupeia, Muhala-Expansão and Namicopo; and a group not exposed to the effects of open dumps (control group), which is under the administration of the administrative post in Marrere. Twelve interviews were conducted with technicians: six with health technicians and six with environmental technicians, based on two semi-structured interviews. For the application of the questionnaire, we had the support of the secretaries of the neighborhoods, the heads of the Municipality of the environmental areas and the company EMUSANA, who helped in the selection of the sample and ensured the participation of the population. For descriptive analysis and statistical tests of association and homogeneity of results, the IBM, SPSS Statistics software, version 25.0, was used. The main results obtained were that the populations studied considered their health status to be good or fair. In the different diseases that occurred, there were significant differences for the Matequenha disease, with greater occurrence in cases. However, the other diseases also identified implied the implementation of measures to protect the populations from cases and control (malaria, schistosomiasis, filaria, cholera and yellow fever). The case populations produced food in dumps, which they consumed and sold, and contamination could occur through the food chain. Another factor of concern and exposure has to do with the water consumed. It has been found that that the populations who lived near the dumps had no knowledge of the impacts that these could have on their health and the environment. Although, in this study, it was not possible to determine the contaminants to which populations may be exposed, the fact that the collection of waste is undifferentiated and the different types of waste are all deposited in these places, it is expected that in addition to contamination by different vectors (mosquitoes, rats and domestic animals) that can cause different tropical diseases in these populations, other contaminants such as heavy metals and persistent organic compounds cannot be excluded. These populations are poor and vulnerable, and it is necessary to implement a set of measures to protect these populations, such as: effectively and continuously educating the population about the risks; involvement of these populations in decision-making and participation processes on the management of urban solid waste; resettlement of the most exposed populations; to improve the living and habitability conditions of these populations; regulate individuals who work informally with Municipal Solid Waste.

In order to understand the impact of demolition wastes open burning on the ambient air quality, two Dichot samplers were used to collect the atmospheric coarse and fine particles during three kinds of demolition wastes burning (including waste cement bags, plastic wastes, and treated wood wastes) at a construction site (in Yujing, Tainan) in March, 2015. Additionally, water-soluble ions of the particles (F-, Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+) were analyzed. The results show that burning waste cement bags or plastic wastes or treated wood wastes significantly increased the concentrations of both fine and coarse particles, especially that of PM2.5. Accordingly, the ratio of PM2.5/PM2.5-10 and PM2.5/PM10 (4.36 ± 0.15 and 0.81 ± 0.01, respectively) were higher than those background values (1.36 ± 0.10 and 0.58 ± 0.02, respectively) before burning. The main water-soluble ions in the atmospheric PM2.5 before burning were SO42-, NO3- and NH4+ nearby the open burning site. When burning waste cement bags, the major species of water-soluble ions in PM2.5 were NO3-, SO42-, and Na+. However, when the plastic wastes and treated wood wastes were burnt, the analyzed water-soluble ions in PM2.5 were mostly composed of NO3-, SO42-, and NH4+. According to the fractions of each ion in total water-soluble ions (ΣIons), Cl-, Na+ and K+ in PM2.5 can be used as element indicators of waste cement bags open burning, while Cl-, Na+ and Mg2+ were the element indicators of plastic wastes burning in the air, and opening burning of treated wood wastes can be indicted by Mg2+, Cl-, Na+ and Ca2+.

Abstract:
Biomass is essentially organic garbage obtained from many sources of dead or live vegetation including yard waste. According to recent data, approximately sixty million bone dry tons of biomass are produced in California each year [1]. Of this, only five million tons are used for the generation of electricity. At a global scale, 8700 Tg of biomass (dry matter) were burned without energy recovery in 1991. This number has increased especially in developing countries with the main sources being the savannas, agricultural waste, tropical forests, and fuel wood. Inefficient burning of waste, through combustion in open-air or in open dumps are a significant source of pollutants leading to possible health effects. An alternative to open air combustion is gasification, which involves the conversion of biomass to generate synthesis gas (syngas) by adding heat and limited amounts of oxygen. Several gasifying agents can be utilized, but air is commonly used in small-scale gasifiers. The use of air causes a large molar fraction of nitrogen in the syngas composition. This papers shows the experimental results obtained with a commercially available small-scale downdraft gasifier. Woodchips obtained from a nearby landfill are used as input to the gasifier and temperatures, flow rates, and syngas composition are reported and analyzed.

Abstract:
The city of Mumbai (Bombay), India is facing a solid waste management crisis. The infrastructure has been unable to keep pace with economic development and population growth, resulting in insufficient collection of municipal solid waste (MSW) and over-burdened dumps. Improper disposal of solid wastes over several decades and open burning of garbage have led to serious environmental pollution and health problems. This study examined the solid waste management process in Mumbai and the potential for implementation of waste-to-energy facilities. Mumbai’s average per capita waste generation rate is 0.18 tonnes per person. Although the reported collection efficiency of MSW is 90%, almost half of the city’s 12 million people live in slums, some of which do not have access to solid waste services. The most pressing problem is the acute shortage of space for landfilling. When the present waste dumps were constructed they were at the outskirts of the city, but now they are surrounded by housing colonies, thus exposing millions of people to daily inconveniences such as odors, traffic congestion, and to more serious problems associated with air, land, and water pollution and the spread of diseases from rodents and mosquitoes. Mumbai is the financial center of India and has the highest potential for energy generation from the controlled combustion of solid wastes. The lower heating value of MSW is estimated in this study to be 9 MJ/kg, which is slightly lower than the average MSW combusted in the E.U. (10 MJ/kg). The land for the first WTE in Mumbai would be provided by the City and there is a market for the electricity generated by the WTE facility. The main problem to overcome is the source of capital since the present “tipping fees” are very low and inadequate to make the operation profitable and thus attract private investors. Therefore, the only hope is for the local government and one or more philanthropists in Mumbai to team up in financing the first WTE in India as a beacon that improves living conditions in Mumbai, reduces the City’s dependence on the import of fossil fuels, and lights the way for other cities in India to follow.

Abstract:
Emissions from trash burning represent an important component of regional air quality, especially in countries such as India where the practice of roadside, residential, and municipal trash burning is highly prevalent. However, research on trash emissions is limited due to difficulties associated with measuring a source that varies widely in composition and burning characteristics. To investigate trash burning in India, a collaborative program was formed among RTI, Duke University, and the India Institute of Technology (IIT) in Gandhinagar, involving both senior researchers and students. In addition to researching emission measurement techniques, this program aimed to foster international partnerships and provide students with a hands-on educational experience, culminating in a pilot study in India. Before traveling, students from Duke and IIT met virtually to design experiments. IIT students were able to visit proposed sites and offer specified knowledge on burning practices prior to the pilot study, allowing potential experiments to be iteratively improved. The results demonstrated a proof of concept of using a low-cost sensor attached to a commercial drone to measure emissions from a municipal dump site. In addition, for small-scale residential and roadside trash burning, a combustor was designed to burn trash in a consistent way. Results suggested that thermocouples and low-cost sensors may offer an affordable way for combustor designers to assess particulate emissions during prototype iterations. More experiences like this should be made available so that future research can benefit from the unique insights that come from having veteran researchers work with students and from forming international partnerships.
