Application of system dynamics modeling for evaluation of different recycling scenarios in SingaporeJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 19 - Trang 1177-1185 - 2016
Apostolos Giannis, Miaoju Chen, Ke Yin, Huanhuan Tong, Andrei Veksha
The influence of socioeconomic factors, such as population and rapid economic growth, and the change of consumption and living patterns make waste management in Singapore, a complex issue. Due to limited land and resources, the solid waste management scheme requires a comprehensive approach. Therefore, system dynamics (SD) modeling was applied to assess alternative strategies for solid waste manag...... hiện toàn bộ
Economic evaluation of thermochemical conversion of municipal solid waste to syngas: a case study of Cape Town municipalityJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 25 - Trang 1179-1190 - 2022

Thermochemical conversions of the combustible components of municipal solid waste (MSW) minimize the emissions and net effects of greenhouse gas from open incineration, landfill and other associated challenges of traditional MSW management. The thermochemical conversions such as incineration, pyrolysis, and gasification offer a cleaner approach to waste-to-energy/chemical for sustainable MSW manag...... hiện toàn bộ
Modification of waste tire pyrolytic oil as base fluid for synthetic lube oil blending and production: waste tire utilization approachJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 22 - Trang 1258-1269 - 2020

This study provides an environmentally friendly process for the production of waste tire pyrolytic oil from fast pyrolysis for use in lube oil production. The produced waste tire pyrolytic oil was further distilled to provide an almost pure base fluid for production of lube oil. The distilled pyrolytic oil was further transformed to lube oil via polyol synthesis. Characterization of the distilled ...... hiện toàn bộ
Verification of exponential distribution of arrival and service times at municipal solid waste facilitiesJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 11 - Trang 321-327 - 2009
Ronald L. Mersky
Vehicle queuing at municipal solid waste (MSW) facilities causes economic and environmental damage. In the United States, typical MSW receiving facilities (transfer, recycling, energy recovery, and landfill) have three queues: one at the entrance weighing station, one at the waste tipping location, and one at the exit weighing station. A common method of determining queue behavior relies on equati...... hiện toàn bộ
Sustainable E-waste supply chain management with price/sustainability-sensitive demand and government interventionJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 22 - Trang 556-577 - 2019
Iman Ghalehkhondabi, Ehsan Ardjmand
The impact of appropriate E-waste management practices on the environment, human health, and natural resources has made E-waste management an interesting research topic in recent decades. Research also shows that government intervention is an important factor in controlling the emission volume produced by waste management systems. This study considers a base E-waste supply chain in which a collect...... hiện toàn bộ
Community activities in residential solid waste reduction in Tenggilis Mejoyo District, Surabaya City, IndonesiaJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 19 - Trang 526-535 - 2015

The main source of municipal solid waste in Indonesia is residential area. The Indonesian Government Regulation No. 81/2012 concerning Residential Solid Waste (RSW) Management and Similar Types of Solid Waste stipulates that every generator is obliged to perform separation and treatment. This study was aimed to determine RSW generation rate, reduction potential, and reduction activities by the com...... hiện toàn bộ
Leachate direct-discharge limits and incentives related to landfill aftercare costsJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 19 - Trang 413-422 - 2015
Markku Pelkonen, Yu Wang
Society needs sustainable methods for landfilling from an environmental perspective, but they have to be cost effective and affordable. Aftercare represents considerable costs within waste management system and costs can be expected to accrue over
a long period of time showing the need to compare different management options. Direct-discharge limits for leachate COD and nitrogen are different in ...... hiện toàn bộ
Contribution of waste segregation to GHG emissions, land usage, and health risk of NMVOC exposure: a study in MalaysiaJournal of Material Cycles and Waste Management - Tập 25 - Trang 181-197 - 2022
Josfirin Uding Rangga, Sharifah Norkhadijah Syed Ismail, Irniza Rasdi, Karmegam Karuppiah
The present study examined greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, land usage, cost of land use, and health risk exposure to non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC). Waste volume was analysed using the mathematical models obtained from previous literature. The key findings highlighted that the average direct methane (CH4) emissions of landfilled waste were 109 thousand tonnes per year, equivalent t...... hiện toàn bộ
