Environmental monitoring of Solid waste landfill and a feasible Solution by high solids anaerobic Digestion process

Abstract

newlineAs a consequence of increasing urbanization and industrialization newlinetwo major effects have occurred They are resource exploitation and waste newlinegeneration The higher standard of living of people leads to generation of newlinelarge quantities of municipal solid waste with varying composition The newlinecollected wastes are disposed off by landfills or burned in open air resulting in newlinelarge scale contamination of the urban environment It is therefore essential to newlineminimize the environmental pollution created by municipal solid waste newlinelandfill and to carry out solid waste management system in an efficient way newlineIn this view the present work has been undertaken to study problems of open newlinedumping of Municipal Solid Waste MSW at Vellalore disposal site of newlineCoimbatore city newlineThe objective of the present study is to monitor and assess the newlineproblems of municipal solid waste on land and to investigate the feasibility of newlineenergy recovery from municipal solid waste newline newline
