摘要: Abstract Methane generation from waste landfills is one of the biggest contributors to global warming. The purpose this study was twofold: (i) investigate methane concentration Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) at three in Dhanbad city, India and (ii) evaluate amount energy that could be recovered based on MSW characteristics if it were incinerated. samples collected analysed for composition, content, concentration. Results characterisation revealed main component organic waste, which made up 75% by weight. moisture content Railway station (site 1) Memco-more 2 site 3) measured as 140.53, 18.18 20.28 ppm methane/g 25.49, 3.40 2.96% dry weight respectively. calorific value ranged between 10.7 13.0 MJ/kg. These findings confirm generated sites can used recovery. Additionally, suggests a suitable feedstock utilized electricity through combustion.
