Physical Properties Field capacity Permeability of compacted wastes Total amount of moisture that can retained in a waste sample subject to downward pull of gravity Determining the formation of landfill leachate Water in excess will be released as leachate Depend on Applied pressure State of decomposition of waste Expressed as Percentage in volume e.g. 30% Permeability of compacted wastes Or “hydraulic conductivity” Important in governing the movement of gases and liquid in landfill site

Chemical Properties Used for Determining alternative processing + recovery options For example Combustion, composting, etc. To use SW as fuel, it is to consider Proximate analysis Fusing (melting) point of ash Ultimate analysis (major elements) Trace elements are important if MSW is recovered as feedstock Energy content

Chemical Properties Proximate analysis:= Analysis for combustible components Moisture content Loss of moisture at 105oC for 1 hr Volatile combustible matter Loss of weight on ignition at 950oC in a covered crucible Fixed carbon Combustible residue left after removal of volatile matter Ash Weight of residue after combustion in an open crucible Solid Wastes Combustible Volatile combustible Fixed carbon Ash Non- H2O

Biological Properties Organic fractions of SW, excluding plastic, rubber, and leather Water-soluble constituents Sugars, starches, amino acid, organic acids, etc. Hemicellulose Cellulose Fats, oil, and waxes Lignin Lignocellulose Protein However, the important biological properties are to determine Biodegradability of organic fractions Production of odors, Breeding of flies

Biological Properties Biodegradability of organic fractions Determined by volatile solid (VS) content Ignition at 550oC But, may misinterpret for some components Newsprint  high VS but low biodegradability Food wastes  low VS but high biodegradability Consider percent of lignin in the VS BF = 0.83 – 0.028LC BF = biodegradable fraction LC = lignin content of VS (% dry weight) Often, express in “rapidly” or “slowly” decomposable

Biological Properties Production of odors Significant in a long storage and warm climate Resultant of anaerobic decomposition readily decomposable organic component SO4-2  reduced to sulfide (S2-) + combine with H  H2S Biochemical reduction of an organic compound containing with S radical Produce methyl mercaptan + aminobutyric acid  malodorous Methyl mercaptan  reduced + form H2S Breeding of flies Flies can develop after < 2week of egg laid Very important consideration but very difficult to control, especially in the tropical areas

Applications of SW Properties To determine Appropriate transformation processes Separation, reduction, combustion, composting, etc. Improving efficiencies transformation processes E.g. moisture content + C/N  composting reactions To design recovery methods Reuse + recycling materials Conversion products + energy

Transformation process for SW management Transformation processes Transformation means or methods Transformation or principal conversion products Physical Component separation Manual and/or mechanical separation Individual components found in commingled MSW Volume reduction Application of energy in the forms of force or pressure The original waste reduced in volume Size reduction Application of energy in the forms of shredding, grinding or milling The original waste components altered in form and reduced in size

Transformation process for SW management Transformation processes Transformation means or methods Transformation or principal conversion products Chemical Combustion Thermal oxidation CO2, SO2, other oxidation products, ash Pyrolysis Destructive distillation A gas stream containing a variety of gases, tar and/or oil, and a char Gasification Starved air combustion A low-energy gas, a char containing carbon and the inert originally in the fuel and oil

Transformation process for SW management Transformation processes Transformation means or methods Transformation or principal conversion products Biological Aerobic composting Aerobic biological conversion Compost (humus-like material used as a soil conditioners) Anaerobic digestion (low- or high-solids) Anaerobic biological conversion Methane (CH4), CO2, trace gases, digested humus or sludge Anaerobic composting (normally occur in landfills) Methane (CH4), CO2, digested waste

A typical solid waste management system in developing countries Storage Collection and transport Recycling Intermediate storage Disposal But, less Transformation Recovery Minimization Conversion to energy (Adapted from Zurbrügg, 2003)

What to do next? Smart design for collection + transportation system? Effective planning on transformation + recycling processes? Appropriate site selection for waste disposal? How about Public participation Socio-economic considerations Strategic planning based on community involvement
