Abstract: Many civil and environmental engineering projects involve the amelioration of environmental problems. Attempts to avoid future and solve current environmental problems are more and more likely to include the inducement ...

Abstract: General solid waste transfer station analyses are presented, including mode of transfer, sizing of tipping floors, and vehicle traffic flow. A case study for a transfer station in Riley County, Kansas, is used for demonstration ...

Abstract: Curbside collection of compostable material can be expensive because the inherent costs of curbside collection are high, but also because amounts collected per residence are small compared to the total waste stream, and ...

Abstract: Curbside collection of compostable material can be expensive because the costs of curbside collection are high, but also because amounts collected per residence are small compared to the total waste stream and time is ...

Abstract: An approach to evaluating intrinsic bioremediation, aqueous and mineral intrinsic biodegradation assessment (AMIBA) is described. AMIBA is based on the microbial reduction of

Abstract: The effect of varying the time of particle injection within pulse periods, called the pulse injection time, in active‐pulse air classification is examined. A mathematical model based on a fluid mechanical force balance is ...

Abstract: In this paper, solutions of a regional-scheduling model are presented to demonstrate the ability of the model to optimally schedule processing, conversion, and landfilling options to realize the lowest possible long-term ...

Abstract: A mathematical mode is presented to determine the optimal operation of consecutive landfills while incorporating recycling programs. The model is capable of handling currently available landfills as well as numerous proposed ...

Abstract: A deterministic linear programming model is presented that can be used to aid decision makers in the long-term scheduling of disposal and diversion options in a regional integrated solid waste management system. The model ...
