Abstract

Methods of processing and disposal of municipal solid waste abroad and in our country are compared. A significant technological lag by Russia in this area is noted. Known technologies of waste disposal by incineration, high-temperature decomposition, biodegradation, and landfill burial are analyzed. The physical foundations, advantages, and disadvantages of incineration and degradation are considered. The unreasonableness of choosing waste incineration on a grate as the main technology for its neutralization and elimination, adopted in Russia, is noted. The volume of not only generated but also previously formed unsorted waste (“accumulated damage”) is analyzed. It is concluded that, for our country, the priority waste disposal technology should be biodegradation using a system of drainage and disposal of waste gases and contaminated infiltration solutions.

焚烧城市固体废物还是降解它更好？

摘要

比较了国内外城市生活垃圾处理处置方法。注意到俄罗斯在该领域的重大技术滞后。分析了通过焚烧、高温分解、生物降解和填埋掩埋的已知废物处理技术。考虑了焚烧和降解的物理基础、优点和缺点。注意到俄罗斯采用炉排垃圾焚烧作为主要中和消除技术的不合理性。分析不仅产生而且先前形成的未分类废物（“累积损坏”）的体积。得出的结论是，对于我们国家来说，
