Learning objectives
To provide the elements to address the technical aspects of the management and treatment of municipal solid waste:
- Knowledge of the characteristics of waste
- Knowledge of EU and Italian legislation on waste
- Setting up of integrated waste management schemes and plans
- Design of treatment and disposal plants
- Assessment and control of the environmental impacts of waste treatment plants
- Evaluation of various treatment alternatives (Life Cycle Assessment - LCA)
Detailed program
- Overall framework: waste production and management in Italy, the EU and in the world
- Waste characteristics: waste composition analysis, proximate and elemental analysis, calorific value, biogenic content. Solid Recovered Fuels - SRF
- Legislation applicable to waste (Italy and the EU)
- Integrated waste management and waste management plans
- Waste prevention
- Waste collection schemes
- Material recycling: overall framework, focus on paper, plastic, glass, aluminium
- Mechanical-Biological Treatments (MBT), composting, anaerobic digestion: process concepts, mass and energy balances, impacts on the environment
- Thermal treatments through combustion in dedicated plants: process concepts, mass and energy balances, impacts on the environment
- Alternative thermal treatments: gasification and pyrolysis
- Thermal treatments in non-dedicated plants: co-combustion in cement kilns and power plants
- Assessment of biogenic vs. fossil CO2 emissions from waste incineration plants
- Landfill disposal: design and operation, leachate and biogas characteristics and management, legislation, aftercare
- Management of some types of special waste: end of life vehicles, used tyres, waste of electrical and electronic equipment
- Life Cycle Assessment: overall framework and methodological aspects; application to waste management and treatment
The course includes a series of exercises on the main topics of the teaching program. Students are also required to perform independently and deliver two projects related to the design of waste treatment plants and to the application of Life Cycle Assessment.
A field visit to one or more treatment plants is part of the program, together with one or more seminars held by external professionals.
Teaching materials
Slides, lecture notes on the key topics. All has to be to be complemented by the students notes.
