Solid waste
• Solid waste is defined as discarded solid fraction produced
from domestic, commercial, trade, industrial, agricultural,
institutional, mining activities and public services.
• Handling the problem of solid waste in an efficient manner is
known as the solid waste management.
• The organic matter (night soil, excreta, food, vegetable, paper)
can be converted into useful biogas and compost.
• The problem is of separating it from the inorganic waste like
ashes, rubbish, non bio-degradable waste.
• Segregation – Producer end – Punishment.

Continued. .
• Efficient collection and transportation are essential parts of
solid waste management.
• There is no effective door to door collection system or a self
motivated culture of putting the waste in the bins.
• As a result most of the budget (60-70%) available with
municipalities is used for street sweeping and 20-30% for
transportation.
• So very less amount (5%) for scientific treatment of collected
waste.
• Open dumping – Leachates, burning – Harmful gases.

Composition & Characteristics of solid
waste
• The composition and characteristics of municipal
solid waste is not same throughout the world and
even in the same country it changes from place to
place and time to time.
• It depends upon the living standard, social customs,
location of a place, climate and weather conditions.
• Quantity and Composition of waste changes among
different income groups.

Physical characteristics
• Density
Important for the design of all the elements of the SWM.
Varies significantly from source to disposal site(Handling)
• Moisture content
Weight of moisture to unit weight of wet material.
20-45 % , increase in moisture causes high density and
transportation costs
![Page 11: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chemical characteristics
• Chemical : pH, N-P-K, C/N, total carbon etc.
Calorific value
– Amount of heat generated by combustion of unit weight of
solid waste (kcal / kg).
– Bomb calorimeter.
• Bio chemical
– Biodegradable factor, carbohydrates, proteins etc.
• Toxic characteristics
– Heavy metals, pesticides, insecticides.
![Page 12: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
These characteristics are required to
• Design
• Conceive and assess the most appropriate
ways of
• Transportation
• The requirements of treatment
• Extraction of energy
• Safe, sanitary way of disposal for the
protection of Environment.

Solid Waste Management(SWM)
The solid waste management has the following components:
Identification of waste and its minimization at the source
Collection, segregation and storage at the site of collection
Transportation
Treatment
Energy recovery and Disposal

![Page 14: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1.Identification of waste and its minimization at the source
• Identification helps in further process of transportation, treatment and disposal.
• Ex: Hazardous waste should be treated in different manner than ordinary SW.
14
![Page 15: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Contd..
• Minimization of waste production is the best strategy.
• Examples1. Footwear making Industry-->Waste Rubber can
be reused to make Toys2. Thermal Power plants --> fly ash can be used in
fly ash bricks, cement as binder.3. Food Waste in Hotels/Hostels --> Making Bio-
gas by anaerobic digestion4. Kitchen Waste in a household --> as Composts
15
![Page 16: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Contd…
• The mentioned methods/examples can also be adopted on large scale
• But, firstly waste is collected, transported and then utilized which incurs a large cost.
• So, it is always preferable to minimize waste production by reusing, recycling of waste at the source itself.
16
![Page 17: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2.Collection, segregation and storage at the site of collection
• Main problem of SWM is Collection.
• Household waste consists of all types of general waste.
• No scientific , clean , hygienic, efficient practice of waste collection
• No penalty on throwing wastes
• spitting on streets, defecating, throwing wastes here and there even if collection bins are provided. Hence waste collection is a big problem
17
![Page 18: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Contd…
• In our country, Waste is handled manually
• Sweeps with poor design broom sticks
• Discharging of harmful chemicals, dyes, metals, heavy metals, organic matter in the open drains to pollute land and river water
18
![Page 19: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Contd…• Best way is Segregation of waste at the generation point.
• Segregation: Collecting it in different bins or plastic bags.
• Domestic waste: Reusable (paper, plastic, metal etc) Non reusable (Organic-kitchen waste, Inorganic-dust, dirt etc)
• Fixing two separate containers bins or bags for separatingorganics and Inorganic
• Organics: for energy recovery, Composts.

3. Transportation of SW
• Transportation must be done in closed containers.
• Transportation of solid waste should be done through the technically competent and well reputed contractors under the supervision of experienced and honest municipal authorities and watchful citizens.
20
![Page 21: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4. Treatment of SW
• The waste has to be treated before disposal for the protection of environment.
• Biodegradable waste can be processed by composting, vermi-composting, anaerobic digestion.
• Anaerobic Digestion: foul gases are evolved, dirty offensive dark colored fluid is also generated: called Leachate.
21
![Page 22: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Contd…
• Solid waste contains both Municipal waste and Industrial Waste
• Small Scale Industries: Generates huge solid waste, No Individual treatment plants.
• So, Combined effluent treatment plants are to be operated by local bodies & funded by industries in proportion.
• Economical treatment.

5.Energy Recovery and Disposal
• Most common methods of energy recovery and disposal for non hazardous solid waste are
--Incineration, composting and Landfill
• Final Disposal: No more conversion, remains as waste and unused.
• Before putting on Land If it has some biodegradable fraction then compost (organic manure) should be made out it.
23
![Page 24: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Contd…
• Organic Manure: Environmental friendly, provides micronutrients that increase soil fertility.
• Vermi-Composting: If this work is done more efficiently by some special worms then it is known as vermi-Composting.
24
![Page 25: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
INCINERATION
• Incineration means burning of solid waste in controlled conditions.
• It is more efficient than usual practice of burning solid waste in open burning.
• Incinerator: enclosed device using controlled flame combustion
• Incineration uses heat to convert complex toxic organic compounds in to mostly CO2 and water.
• Combustion Temperatures: 760 – 870 oC• Modern Incinerators: 1650 oC to convert metal and
glases into ashes

Advantages
• Volume and weight reduced (approx. 90% vol. and 75% wt reduction)
• Waste reduction is immediate, no long term residency required
• Incineration can be done at generation site
• Air discharges can be controlled
• Ash residue is usually non-putrescible, sterile, inert
• Small disposal area required
• Cost can be offset by heat recovery/ sale of energy

Disadvantages
• High capital cost
• Skilled operators are required (particularly for boiler operations)
• Some materials are noncombustible
• Some material require supplemental fuel

Landfill Technology
• The most Common and Easy way of disposal of SW
• The decomposition of Solid waste produces gases (Methane) and dark colored water (leachate)
• The two major environmental concerns in a landfill are gases and leachate.
• Harmful chemicals (if present in solid waste)and Leachate mix with ground water and rain water.
• Appears costly, but for long life time it is efficient.

Liner purposes
• To prevent leachate from seeping into groundwater
• To prevent landfill gas from migrating out of the landfill

Composting
• Composting is the biological decomposition of organic waste such as food or plant material by bacteria, fungi, worms and other organisms under controlled aerobic conditions.
• The end result of composting is an accumulation of partially decayed organic matter called humus.
37
![Page 38: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Contd…
• The organic matter (consisting of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur) has a tendency of being converted into inorganic matter as the later is a stable form.
• The food, excreta and other organic waste gets decomposed (changed into inorganic form) and produce gases like biogas (mainly methane) and solids of decomposition like sulfates, nitrates, phosphates etc.
• Compost is more useful as it contains the nutrients like N, P, K as well as the micronutrients.
38
![Page 39: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Contd…
• Organic matter can be decomposed in two ways in the presence of oxygen or in the absence of oxygen, composting (aerobically or anaerobically)
• Aerobic: micro-organisms oxidize the organic compounds to carbon dioxide, nitrite and nitrates (Exothermic)
• Anaerobic: Bacteria, while metabolizing the nutrients, break down the organic compounds through a process of reduction (The gases evolved are mainly CH4 and CO2)
39
![Page 40: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Vermi-Composting
• The stabilization of organic solid waste through special earthworm by conversion of the organic matter to worm casting
• Pheretima sp, Eisenia sp, and Perionyx excavatussp.
40
![Page 41: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Contd…
• Earthworms feed on any organic waste and consume two to five times of their body weight, excrete the mucus coated undigested matter as wormcasts
• Wormcasts consists of organic matter that has undergone physical and chemical breakdown through the muscular activity that grinds the material to a particle size of 1 to 3 micron.
• The nutrient present in the wormcast are easily soluble in water and are thus readily available for the plant growth
41
![Page 42: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Contd…
• Special worms survive in the temperature range of 20- 40 oC and moisture range of 20-80%.
• do not survive in pure organic substrate containing more than 40% fermentable organic substances.
• So fresh waste is mixed with partially or fully stabilized waste
• Unfavorable Conditions: particle size of biomass and extent of its decomposition, very high temperature increase, anaerobic condition, toxicity of decomposition products, etc.
42
![Page 43: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Contd…
• The worms are also adversely affected by high concentrations of such heavy metals as cadmium, chromium, lead and zinc
• Due to these problems the vermi-compostin is successful more on the household level (vegetables etc, organic waste) than the municipality level.

Energy recovery from MSW
![Page 45: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Energy is recovered from organic matter presentin waste by incorporating suitable techniques.
Along with gain of energy , Other benefits:
• The total quantity of waste gets reduced by nearly60 to 90% depending upon the characteristics ofwaste and the adopted process.
• As the quantity reduces the demand for landrequired for landfill as disposal also reduces.
• The cost of transportation also reduces as thequantity reduces.
• The overall environmental pollution reduces.
![Page 46: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Basic techniques of energy recovery
• Thermo-chemical conversion:
This process entails thermal decomposition oforganic matter to produce either heat energy or fuel oilor gas.
• Useful for wastes containing high percentage of organic non-biodegradable matter and low moisture content.
• Technological Option: Incineration,pyrolysis/gasification.
![Page 47: Solid wast management](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55a434a81a28abc2078b45ed/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Bio chemical conversion
This process is based on enzymatic
decomposition of organic matter by microbiological
action to produce methane gas or alcohol.
• Preferred for wastes having high percentage of
organic bio-degradable (putrescible) matter and high
moisture content.
• Technological Options: Anaerobic Digestion also
known as Biomethanation.
