Two samples with the same COD (chemical oxygen demand) values were chosen for this study. The results have shown that both samples consist of the same compounds with low molecular weights and high polarities in high concentrations. The hospital wastewater consisted of more compounds arithmetically. Differences were found in the organic compound with low molecular weight and low polarities. Pharmaceutical compounds such as caffeine, acetanilide and phenacetin were detected only in the hospital wastewater.展开更多

This paper collects relevant policies for China's MSW power generation. It also analyzes the overall environment of policies for the MSW power generation from three aspects---the basic principles for China to develop MSW power generation, the operating mechanism and the specific preferential policies. The analysis establishes foundation for further research toward policy integration.展开更多

Hydraulic model is an unsaturated-saturated flow model using mass conservation equations for fluids. Mechanical compression of MSW is ex- pressed by a stress-age coupled compression model. Through above models, a one-dimensional (I-D) bio-hydro-mechanical coupled model is established to analyze solid-liquid-gas interactions in landfilled MSW. Values of all the model parameters for current typical Chinese MSW are determined. Numerical analysis of a hypothetical waste sample in a closed system shows that gas pressure and gas concentration is extremely large which might cause severe gas explosion problem. Total gas production is about 267.0 m3 per wet ton of fresh wastes. For another hypothetical landfilled MSW layer, the coupled model predicts a dis- sipation of gas pressure during passive gas collection process. Annual gas production is large at the beginning of biodegradation, and then decreases with time. Surface settlement of the wastes increases quickly initially and then becomes stable with a compression strain of about 0.32 after 20 years.展开更多
