Landfill Sites and Landfill Gas Risks
Klímová, Zdeňka ; Vávrová, Milada (referee) ; Valášek, Rudolf (advisor)
This work is focused on landfills and landfill gas that is created by decomposition of organic substances. Municipal waste, its origin, properties, practical use and risks related to landfill gas are discussed. At the end of the theoretical section the limits of explosiveness are specified. The practical section deals with the most important properties of methane and carbon dioxide. A photograph of a landfill site, located in Brno – Černovice, is included in the final section.
Sink disposers and theirs importance in biological degradable waste removal.
Amemori, Anna ; Benešová, Libuše (advisor) ; Doležalová, Markéta (referee)
Some 30 - 50 % of municipal solid waste (MSW) is biodegradable waste. Most of this waste is sent to landfills or incinerated and is not recovered. According to Waste Management Plan of Czech Republic based on the Landfill Directive of EU, Czech Republic should to reduce weight of biodegradable waste sent to lanndfills to 75 % in 2010 and 35 % in 2020 compared with the amount that had been landfilled in 1995. In rural areas biodegradable waste is fed to animals or treated by home composting. However in urban areas the collection of separated biowaste is problem for a long time. Food waste disposers (FWDs) presents interesting alternative for the biowaste disposal. They enable the separation of food waste at source by shreding it in a kitchen sink. FWDs utilize existing infrastructure of sewer system to transport shreded wastes to wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Wastes can be disposed in WWTPs by anaerobic digestion - the best method for disposal of food waste of animal origin. This work concentrates on literature research of studies about feasibility of FWD as a instrument for biodegradable waste removal and compares arguments for and against using of FWDs in households. Majority of studies shows no complications in sewer system and on WWTP after instalation of FWDs. Energetic and hydraulic consumption...
Odpadové hospodářství pevných odpadů v CHKO Moravský kras
Marek, Pavel
This diploma thesis is about municipal waste management. There are involved villages, which are situated with their building area in CHKO Moravský kras. This diploma thesis is mainly about municipal solid waste management in CHKO Moravský kras, which is interpreted by collected information about individual municipalities. The most data were obtained from municipalities by own research. These data are used in the practical part of this thesis. The information about waste production were provided mainly by workers in The Department of the Environment Blansko and Šlapanice. It was also needed to obtain information about illegal dumping, during own research. The obtained data are processed and compared each other (per capita), in the practical part. The comparison is done by point graphs in time series and there is also used cluster analysis. There were suggested recommendations and some design waste management measures in the locality for municipalities, based on individual results and theoretical knowledge about a good examples from the practice.
Analysis of the factors influencing the geotechnical material parameters of MSW landfills
Sedláček, Václav ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Slomek, Jiří (referee)
The material of Municipal Solid Waste landfills is a varied mix of materials with different properties. This material changing his properties according the procesing before or after the material is stored in landfill body. While the conditions in the landfill body are suitable, the bacteria start the development of biodegradation process. The process is affected by a number of factors. During the process, a large volume of lanfill gas is released from the landfill body and the landfill surface is declining. Material composition with processing methods during and after the transportation of waste to the landfill create geotechnical parameters of fresh material. As time goes by, this material loses biodegradable ingredients. The biodegradation process takes several years in the space of lanfill body. For the proper process of biodegratation, it's important to compliance next parameters: Sufficient organic matter content, sufficient material moisture and stable temperature with pH. Keywords: Municipal solid waste, geotechnical properties, grain, moisture content, shear strengh, strain, elasticity, deformation, compaction, biodegradation processes
Analysis of the factors influencing the geotechnical material parameters of MSW landfills
Sedláček, Václav ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Sedláček, Jaroslav (referee)
Geotechnical parameters of material of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill are very variable. This work searches by science researches the influences for these parameters. The identification of parameters is obviously difficult and needs special devices capable to measurement of big volume of material. Influence for geotechnical parameters have composing of MWS, climatic conditions, of the MSW landfill is cover or not, if has landfill isolation on base and on top or not or if is landfill drained. Important factor is existence of biodegradation processions on landfill. There are important the velocity of biological component and time.
