Reclamation of Acidic Copper Mine Tailings Using Municipal Biosolids1
RECLAMATION OF ACIDIC COPPER MINE TAILINGS USING MUNICIPAL BIOSOLIDS1 by M. T. Rogers, S.A. Bengson, and T.L. Thompson2 Abstract: Reclamation of copper mine tailings in a cost effective, successful, and sustainable manner is an ongoing area of evaluation in the arid southwest. A study was initiated in September, 1996 near Hayden, Arizona to evaluate the use of municipal biosolids for reclaiming acidic copper mine tailings (pH of 2.5 to 4.0). The main objectives of the study were to I) define an appropriate level of biosolids application for optimum plant growth, and 2) evaluate the effects of green waste and lime amendments. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with four biosolid rates of 20, 70, 100 and 135 dry tons/acre (45, 157, 224, 303 Mg/ha), three amendment treatments (none, green waste, and green waste plus lime); with three replications. Non-replicated controls (no treatment, green waste only and lime only) were included for comparison. Shortly after biosolids incorporation to a depth of 10-12 inches (25.4-30.5 cm), composite soil samples (0- 12 inches) of each plot were taken. Biosolids incorporation increased the pH of the tailings (>5. 75) and additional increases in pH were noted with lime application. In January 1997, the plots were seeded and sprinkler irrigation was commenced. A total of 4.47 inches (11.4 cm) of rainfall and 3.8 inches (9.7 cm) of irrigation were applied until harvest in May 1997. Data from the first growing season indicates optimum growth (>66 lbs/acre or >74 kg/ha) at biosolids rates of 70-100 dry tons/acre.

Preliminary Assessment Waste Management
Executive Summary 1 The purpose of this report is to make a preliminary assessment of green jobs potentials in the waste management sector in Lebanon, including solid waste management, hazardous waste management and wastewater treatment. This report provides an overview of waste management in Lebanon, considers potentials for greening the sector, and estimates current and future green jobs in waste management. The current state of the waste management sector in Lebanon is far from ideal. Collection activities are fairly advanced when it comes to municipal solid waste, but insufficient for wastewater, and totally lacking for hazardous waste. Currently only two-thirds of the total generated solid waste undergoes some form of treatment, while the remainder is discarded in open dumpsites or directly into nature. Moreover, wastewater treatment is insufficient and Lebanon currently lacks any effective strategy or system for dealing with most hazardous waste. Incrementally, the sector is nonetheless changing. In recent years green activities such as sorting, composting and recycling have become more common, advanced medical waste treatment is being developed, and several international organisations, NGOs and private enterprises have launched initiatives to green the sector and reduce its environmental impact. Also large-scale governmental initiatives to close down and rehabilitate dumpsites and construct new waste management facilities and wastewater treatment plants are currently being planned or implemented, which will have a considerable impact in greening the waste management sector in Lebanon. In this report, green jobs in waste management are defined as jobs providing decent work that seek to decrease waste loads and the use of virgin resources through reuse, recycling and recovery, and reduce the environmental impact of the waste sector by containing or treating substances that are harmful to the natural environment and public health.

Tot, Bojana. ANALYSIS of BIODEGRADABLE WASTE
ANALYSIS OF BIODEGRADABLE WASTE TREATMENT IN ORDER TO REDUCE QUANTITY OF DISPOSED WASTE Bojana Tot1 , Svjetlana Jokanović1 , Goran Vujic1 , Bojan Batinić1, Nemanja Stanisavljević1, Bojana 1 1 Beronja , Dejan Ubavin 1 Department of Environmental Engineering and Occupational Safety and Health, Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia ABSTRACT According to data obtained by analysis of quantity and composition of municipal solid waste in Republic of Serbia, the most significant waste fraction 40% represents organic waste, and roughly can be divided into food waste and garden or yard waste. In Serbia, practically all biodegradable waste ends up on non sanitary landfills, contributing to a large negative impact due to high production of methane, one of the most significant greenhouse gases (GHG). In order to comply with increasing national and international requirements, one of the main objectives is the reduction to 75% (by weight) of the total quantities of biodegradable municipal solid waste which ends up at landfill until 2016 a the first step to accomplish this requirements. This paper analyzes possible ways for the treatment of biodegradable waste from households in Serbian municipalities in order to achieve this goal. Therefore, in this paper, flows of garden and other biodegradable waste in municipal solid waste are analyzed by MFA (Material Flow Analysis) and two scenarios are presented. For decision makers in the field of waste management, the obtained information will be of great importance in order to develop an appropriate waste management system and to achieve specific targets for biodegradable waste treatment according to national and EU Directives. 1. INTRODUCION Organic waste can represent 20 to 80% of total municipal solid waste (MSW) stream, depending on the country economic development level.

MINERALS from WASTE Recent BGS & Tarmac Experience in Finding Uses for Mine & Quarry Waste
MINERALS FROM WASTE Recent BGS & Tarmac experience in finding uses for mine & quarry waste CJ Mitchell & DJ Harrison, British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG [email protected] & [email protected] Dr. HL Robinson & Dr N Ghazireh, Tarmac Ltd, Wolverhampton, WV4 6JP [email protected] & [email protected] ABSTRACT In 1998 the BGS, in collaboration with Tarmac, initiated an industrial mineral waste project known as REFILL which was funded by the EU BriteEuRam programme. BGS was responsible for the characterization of quarry waste from certain aggregate quarrying operations across the UK. During the work it became clear that there was little information available on the quantity and technical quality of mineral waste in the UK. Also, BGS assisted Tarmac in research work to find uses for the fines produced at a coastal aggregate quarry in southern Ireland. In 1999 BGS developed a further research project, known as ‘Minerals from Waste’, which was funded by the UK Government Department for International Development (DfID). This project aimed to improve the sustainability of mining communities by investigating the use of mineral waste as a source of construction and industrial minerals. The types of waste found in a range of extractive operations were reviewed. Case studies were carried out in Namibia and Costa Rica including investigations of the properties of the waste, mineral product evaluations, market and economic appraisals and social and environmental impact assessments of local communities. Overall, this work aimed to benefit not only mine and quarry engineers, but all those involved in the management of mine waste.
