What is Solid Waste?
• Solid waste is the waste arising from human activities and is normally solid as opposed to liquid or gaseous and are discarded as useless or unwanted.
• Focused on urban waste (Municipal Solid Waste) as opposed to agricultural, mining and industrial wastes.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT--WHY ?
• In medieval times, wastes discarded in the streets led to the breeding of rats and the associated fleas which carried the bubonic plague.
• The lack of management of solid wastes thus led to the Black Plague which killed half of 14th century Europe.
• Rising urbanization and change in lifestyle and food habits: Amount of municipal solid waste has been increasing rapidly and its composition changing.
• Solid wastes also have a great potential to pollute the air and water.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Solid waste management may be defined as the
discipline associated with the control of generation,
storage, collection, transfer and transport, processing,
and disposal of wastes in a manner that is in accordance
with the best principles of public health, economics,
engineering and conservation.
• Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is the term
applied to all the activities associated with the
management of society's wastes.

- Urban Local Bodies spend around Rs. 500-1500/- per
tonne on solid waste management of which,
* 60-70% of the amount is on collection alone
* 20% - 30% on transportation
* Hardly any fund is spent on treatment and
disposal of waste
- Crude dumping of waste in most of the cities

• Municipal solid waste at the curbside has a density of
~100-200 kg/m3 in developed countries and 300-400
kg/m3 in India.
• At those low densities, collection vehicles fill too fast,
which means multiple, time- wasting trips to the disposal
site would be needed.
• Modern trucks, called packers, have hydraulic,
compactors that can compress that waste to as much as
750 kg/m3 density.
• Compaction Ratio: 2-3
Packers/Compacters Trucks

• Selection of proper number and size of trucks.
• Choosing the most efficient collection routes and schedules.
• Locating transfer stations if they were to be used.
COMPLEX SOLID WASTE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
• With the growing importance of recycling and composting, those
basic operations have become more complicated.
• Now, a municipality may have separate trucks, routes, schedules,
and destinations for recyclables and compostable materials—all of
which need to be coordinated with already existing refuse collection
system .

• Large vs Small Trucks
• Larger trucks cost more, but they don't- have to make as
many trips back and forth to the disposal site, which can
more than offset the higher capital costs.
• Larger trucks, however, are also less manoeuvrable in
crowded urban areas, and their weight may exceed
allowable limits for residential streets.
Transportation System
![Page 30: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• As the distance from the collection system to the processing
facility or disposal site (collectively called destination point)
increases, the cost of hauling or transportation also increases.
• There will eventually be a certain transport distance, where
management must decide whether or not a transfer station is
to be built.
• A transfer station is a facility where the wastes collected may
be stored temporarily or transferred from the smaller
collection vehicles to bigger transport vehicles for
transportations to the destination point.

Status India
• In India, Western Paques have tested the anaerobic digestion process to produce methane gas. The results of the pilot plant show that 150 t/day of MSW produce 14,000 m3 of biogas with a methane content of 55–65%, which can generate 1.2 MW of power.
• Which means 56 MWe from Mumbai MSW with 7000 tonne/day
• How much electricity can be produced from anaerobic digestion in your city?

Dioxins and Furans:
• The most publicized concerns from environmentalists about the
incineration of municipal solid wastes (MSW) involve the fear that it produces significant amounts of dioxin and furan emissions
• Class of compounds that are highly toxic
• Formed as a by-product of combustion involving chlorine related compounds and hydrocarbons.
• Persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
![Page 58: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Dioxins and Furans:
• Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) – Technically PCDDs are derivatives of dibenzo-p-dioxin. – 75 PCDDs, and seven of them are specifically toxic
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs
• Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) – Technically PCDFs are derivatives of dibenzofuran. – 135 congeners (derivatives differing only in the number and location of chlorine

Why Landfill
Unmanaged and uncontrolled, solid wastes openly
dumped on the land:
• Generate liquid and gaseous emissions (leachate and
landfill gas) that can pollute the environment
• Represent a breeding ground for disease-bearing
animals and microorganisms
• Other risks to the public health and safety and to the
environment
![Page 62: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Sanitary Landfill
• Controlled disposal of waste on the land.
• Controls the exposure of the environment and humans
to the detrimental effects of solid wastes placed on the
land.
• Disposal is accomplished in a way such that contact
between wastes and the environment is significantly
reduced, and wastes are concentrated in a well defined
area.
• Good control of landfill gas and leachate, and limited
access of vectors (e.g., rodents, flies, etc.) to the wastes

Example: Estimating Landfill
Requirements
Estimate the landfill area needed to handle one year’s MSW (7000 tonnes/day) for Mumbai. Assume no combustion, a landfill density of 600 kg/m³, and a single 3m lift. Assume that 20 percent of the cell volume is soil used for cover.
![Page 77: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Legal framework • Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling ) Rule was
notified by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Govt. of India [vide No.S.O.908 (B) dated the 25th September 2000].
• The objective of these Rules are:
To make every municipal authority responsible for the implementation of the various provisions of the Rules within its territorial area and also to develop an effective infrastructure for collection, storage, segregation, transportation, processing and disposal of Municipal Solid Wastes
• As per MSW Rule 2000, biodegradable material should not be landfilled

3R’s of better MSW management
Reduce & Reuse • The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.
• By reducing and reusing, consumers and industry can save natural resources and reduce waste management costs.
Recycling Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable
resources.
![Page 80: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Benefits of Recycling
• Recycling reduces the need for landfilling and incineration.
• Recycling prevents pollution caused by the manufacturing of products from virgin materials.
• Recycling saves energy.
• Recycling decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change
• Recycling conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.
• Recycling helps sustain the environment for future generations.

Biomedical Waste Management
• "Bio-medical waste" means any waste, which is
generated during the diagnosis, treatment or
immunisation of human beings or animals or in research
activities pertaining to the production or testing of
biological.
• "Biologicals" means any preparation made from organisms or
product of metabolism and biochemical reactions intended for use in
the diagnosis, immunisation or the treatment of human beings or
animals or in research activities pertaining thereto;

Biomedical Waste
• Biomedical waste, (BMW), consists of solids, liquids, sharps, and laboratory waste that are potentially infectious or dangerous
• Common producers of biomedical waste include hospitals, health clinics, nursing homes, medical research laboratories
![Page 91: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
TYPES OF HOSPITAL WASTES Infectious Hospital Wastes: • Human anatomical or surgical waste,
• Animal waste
• Pathological waste including tissues, organs, blood and body fluids, microbiological cultures, Cotton, Swabs etc.
• Used Syringes, tubes, Blood bags and other items contaminated with blood and body fluids.
• Items such as plaster and bandages, when contaminated by blood.
• Waste from isolation wards.
The amount of infectious waste is ~15-20% of the total wastes generated from the health care establishment.
![Page 92: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
TYPES OF HOSPITAL WASTES Non Infectious Hospital Waste: • Kitchen waste and office wastes---similar to household waste
• Non infectious wastes constitute ~80-85% of the total wastes generated from a health care unit
• In absence of proper segregation, the non infectious waste becomes infectious and poses environmental threat to the society.
![Page 93: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Status India • 52,000 (~53 %), health care establishments are in operation without
obtaining authorization from SPCBs/PCCs which means that waste generated from such facilities goes unaccounted and is dumped without any adequate treatment illegally.
• ~288 tons per day (57%) out of 506 tons per day wastes
generated is being treated either through Common Bio
Medical Waste Treatment Facilities (159 in number) or captive
treatment facilities.
• 602 bio-medical waste incinerators
~ 70 % incinerators are provided with air pollution control devices
• 2,218 autoclaves
• 192 microwaves
• 8,038 shredders

Microwaving
• In microwaving, microbial inactivation occurs as a result of thermal
effect of electromagnetic radiation spectrum lying between the
frequencies 300 and 300,000MHz.
• The waste material is first shredded and then mixed with water.
Medical waste is placed into the microwave where it is heated
effectively neutralizing all biological waste.

Irradiation
• Another method used to sterilize medical equipment or waste is irradiation, generally through exposure of the waste to a cobalt source
• The gamma radiation generated by the cobalt source inactivates all microbes that may be present in the waste.
• Dedicated sites are required for this form of treatment
• The cost of developing a dedicated facility for this method is quite high
• The risk , although low, of radiation exposure to workers operating the facility
![Page 112: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Plasma Pyrolysis
• Pyrolysis: Thermal disintegration process of carbonaceous material in oxygen starved environment.
• Plasma is a means to convert electrical energy into heat energy efficiently.
– Plasma torch generate 20000 ºC at the core
– No air/gas flow required

Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF)
Biomedical waste, generated from a number of
healthcare units, is treated to reduce its adverse
effects.
![Page 115: MSW and Biomedical Waste Management (1)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/563db814550346aa9a905c62/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Need of CBWTF
• Installation of individual treatment facilities by small healthcare units requires comparatively high capital investment.
• Separate manpower and infrastructure development required for proper operation and maintenance of treatment systems.
• Risk of proliferation of treatment equipment in a city.
