Give a Definition of matter. What is the difference between Micro and macronutriens? Write examples

Matter are elements (Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) or molecules (water)

macro: relatively large amount, big six: carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur

 

micro: very small amount --> still necessary.  , boron(Green plants), copper (some enzymes)

What is the Most common municipal waste treatment technology in EU? What other treatment options can be applied?

Recycling

-> landfill, Compositing, incineration

What is the standard of waste sorting analysis? What is the size of bulk, middle & Fine waste fracions

Waste--->Screening 40mm (--> manual sorting >40mm ) ---> screening 10 mm (--> manual sorting 10-40mm) --> organics/minerals >10mm

 

bulk Fraction >40mm

middle fraction 10-40mm

fine waste <10mm

What are the 3 Main Levels & responsibilities of waste Management architecture?

 

 

 

 

government (Sets waste policy & national targets)

 

province or regional level (prepares & implements detailed strategies for delivering national targets)

 

municipal Level ( carries out waste management operations (collection and perhaps disposal) determines costs, control tenders for Service delivery)

What are the Main driving forces for the waste Management?

Sanitation

landfills produce greenhouse gases like methane, co2

Write 3 Main Factors that have to be considered for the landfill siting? Give examples 

Environmental criteria: distance from rivers, wells, Springs, drinking water wells, ground water)

 

economical criteria: distance from city, Land use (Cost), distance from roads of other Means of transport

 

social-cultural-criteria: distance from residential area, historical Sites , Wind direction

Which treatment technologies can be applied for the landfill leachate? (Sickerwasser)

Biological treatment:

adsorption

oxidation

ultra-/nanofiltration

Which options can be used for the landfill Gas collection and utilization?

collection:

horizontal wells or vertical drains

Embedded in coarse inert material, e.g. Gravel

 

utilization: for Energy recovery, otherwise Flaring

heat and electric Energy production
