Evaluation of the biodegradability of organic waste by the means of impedance analysis
The biodegradability and consequently the stabilization degree of biologically treated waste is a required parameter to provide the evidence of the fulfillment for the German Waste Storage Ordinance (AbfAblV, 2002). The in appendix 2, AbfAblV recommended test procedures RA4 (Respiration Activity over 4 days) and GF21 (Gas Formation over 21 days) takes at least 4 or 21 days respectively. Moreover, despite uniform regulation, obtained analytical results show a strong dispersion of the values particularly with regard to different laboratories.
Within this work basics for a new microbiological approach, the impedance analysis, are examined for the evaluation of the biodegradability. A clear correlation resulted in the case of impedance measurement and biodegradability. In addition the impedance values can be converted with appropriate regression equations into the standard parameters RA4 and GF21. Hence, it seems suitable, that organic waste samples may be controlled within a day on their depositing ability according to AbfAblV or the efficiency of the biological treatment processes could be examined by impedance analysis.

Development of local municipal solid waste management in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.
Role of MBT in increasing the number of composting facilities in Iran
© Wasteconsult International (5/2011)
In I.R. Iran with respect to 0.64 Kg/Cap.day garbage, near 48,000 ton of solid waste is produced daily. Regarding to high percentage of biodegradable material in this waste, production of 10,000 ton/day of fine compost is possible. At this time, only 15 active composting plants are available in Iran and if all of them act with nominal capacity, only 12% of the total produced municipal solid waste will be processed and reminder will be disposed with the other methods.
Practice of Waste Management in the Arab Region
© Wasteconsult International (5/2011)
Almost in all Arab countries general waste management concepts are still in the initial stage. Partly suitable laws were passed and some administrative structures have been established, but technical implementation, management, monitoring and financing of appropriate waste management systems are still considered to be a major challenge.
Experimental Optimisation of Static Composting Reactors

This study focuses on investigations for process optimisation of static dynamic reactors of the mechanical-biological waste treatment. This contains the process as self and the increase of the transparency of the whole control system. To achieve this, measurement equipment for temperature, gas composition and pressure was developed.
