Mineral Carbon Sequestration by Alkaline Waste and Its Use in Landfill
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is among the largest municipal bodies in the world. It provides its civic services about 18 million people (estimated population of Delhi). Environmental impacts of municipal solid waste (MSW) management like emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) have been greatly reduced by Technological advancements, environmental regulations, and emphasis on resource conservation and recovery. The aim of this work was to quantify the volume of CO2 emitted from MSW Landfill and sequester it with a view to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The alkaline waste like construction and demolition (C&D) waste or Hospital Incineration (HI) waste has ability to capture carbon dioxide. The theoretical carbon dioxide sequestration potential of C&D waste and HI ash is 32.55% and 28.57% respectively through various models like Default methodology and Land GEM model.
