ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE FOR ASSESSING GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSIONS FROM DISPOSAL SITES

 

Annotation. Municipal solid waste landfills are sources of methane emissions during anaerobic biological decomposition of organic matter. Data on the composition and properties of municipal solid waste are necessary for calculating the methane potential of waste, while it is preferable to use the results of experimental studies rather than reference data. Natural determination of the component composition and properties of waste should take into account the specifics of further use of the results for calculating methane emissions - the same components should be isolated from the waste, the content of which is then taken into account when calculating emissions. Given the high heterogeneity of MSW, studies should be planned with the selection and analysis of a sufficient number and volume of samples. The developed method for analyzing the composition of municipal solid waste to calculate greenhouse gas emissions has been tested at waste disposal sites in several regions. Experimental assessment of the moisture content of individual components is also of interest in the context of methane generation, since the use of reference data can lead to a significant distortion of the content of degradable organic carbon, which is shown by the calculation results based on data from Perm Krai, Moscow Region and Altai Krai.

Key words: municipal solid waste, waste composition, climate change, anaerobic decomposition of waste, landfill, methane.
