“…The required area for landfill solid wastes generated during the period (2017-2032) are shown in Tables 4 and 5. In Table 4 the accumulated waste weights for study area was calculated based on Equations (1) and (2), then the accumulated weight was converted to volume based in [29]. Table 5 showed the required area, cover material required, and volume for land the waste calculated in Table 4.…”

Abstract:Landfill siting is a hard and complex process. For this reason, it is considered as one of the major problems in waste management. This is due to the fact that a number of factors are involved within the process such as such as inhabitants' growth, rapid economic growth, living standards improvements, etc. In Iraq, landfill siting does not follow environmental regulations. Al-Kufa city located is located south-western part of Iraq (area of 550 km 2 and inhabitants 372,760). Existing landfills are not selected according to the environmental standards. Landfill site that is required was achieved using a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and spatial overlay analysis using a geographic information system (GIS). Many factors were considered in the siting process; including geology, water supplies resources, urban centers, sensitive sites, and wells. AHP (analytic hierarchy process) method was used in weighting the criteria used. The result showed that there are six sites most suitable covering an area about (113) km 2 .

“…Em função desta realidade, grandes volumes de resíduos sólidos, líquidos e gasosos são gerados constantemente, os quais, tratados ou dispostos de maneira imprópria, apresentam um elevado potencial poluente de todos os compartimentos ambientais. 1,2 Particularmente relevante se mostra a poluição do meio hídrico, usualmente utilizado como vertedouro de resíduos líquidos oriundos das mais diversas atividades antrópicas. Dentro do contexto do saneamento, o tratamento e a disposição adequada de esgoto se mostra especialmente importante em razão da incessante geração de grandes volumes de esgoto doméstico e da diversidade química das espécies que caracterizam o esgoto industrial.…”

CHEMICAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF HEALTH SERVICES. In this study were analyzed the main lines of health care waste at the Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná (HC/UFPR), performing an inventory that aims from awareness, characterization, until a viable wastewater treatment proposal for the institution. In this context, were emphasized physical and chemical analyses parameters, inorganic species following the legislation, as well as some chemical analysis used as support for the investigation of the environmental standard of hospital wastewater. The UFPR Clinical Hospital has a health care waste management plan, which is focused on the issue of solid waste. Thus, there are no policies, procedures and specific supervision for managing wastewater, which causes the waste to be disposed directly in the sewage network. At work in question was the physicochemical characterization, inorganic species other relevant chemical species and toxicological analysis of four collection points. Depending on the physical and chemical parameters, phenols and monitored toxicological analysis, one realizes that the hospital sewage characteristics are different from domestic sewage, which in principle suggests the need for special treatment. In this work, the behavior of the wastewater points of HC/UFPR against three types of treatment. The tests performed by the method of activated carbon, Fenton and photoFenton process.

“…Firstly, WtE is an option that would require Brazilian municipalities to dispose of much higher budgets for waste management (Leme et al, 2014). Secondly, compared to Europe or Asia, WtE does not bring significant environmental savings to the system by energy production, due to the big share of renewable sources in the electricity matrix of Brazil (Goulart Coelho & Lange, 2018;Liikanen et al, 2018;P. D. M. Lima et al, 2018;F. R. Soares, 2017) In addition, from a social perspective, WtE does not create work places in the same way as MBT.…”
