DETERMINING OPTIMAL MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SCENARIO BASED ON BEST-WORST METHOD J. Environ. Eng. Landsc. Manag. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-05-27 Zhiwei Li,Xiaoping Jia,Haibo Jin,Lei Ma,Chunhua Xu,Huangzhao Wei
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is one of the most important issues in urban environments, especially in developing countries. In this work, a comprehensive assessment framework for MSW management is proposed to evaluate and screen the optimal scenario. The best-worst method (BWM) is utilized to determine the optimal weight of each criterion for each disposal scenario. However, the original

RESEARCH ON POLICIES OF POWER BATTERIES RECYCLE IN CHINA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE CYCLE J. Environ. Eng. Landsc. Manag. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-05-21 Di Wang
As fueled by the rapid advancement of novel energies-based vehicles in our nation since 2015, Chinese production and ownership of novel energies-based vehicles in China have been leaping forward. According to 4—8 years’ service life of power batteries, China ushered into the large-scale scrapping phase of power batteries in 2019, so the power batteries recycle system should be urgently constructed

GROUNDWATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF CHILANCHIL ABAY WATERSHED: THE CASE OF BAHIR-DAR CITY WASTE DISPOSAL SITE J. Environ. Eng. Landsc. Manag. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-05-21 Dargie Haile,Nigus Gabbiye
Improper dump sites have served many years as an ultimate disposal site for all types of waste; municipal solid waste, industrial sewage and hazardous waste in developing countries such as Ethiopia. Physical, chemical and biological processes interact simultaneously to bring about the overall decomposition of the wastes (chemically laden leachate). If not, deal properly, such kind of dumping site can

RISK ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METALS IN SOILS CONTAMINATED BY SMELTING WASTE FOR THE PERSPECTIVE OF CHEMICAL FRACTION AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION J. Environ. Eng. Landsc. Manag. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-05-13 Xiaoxi Zeng,Qiming Chen,Qin Tan,Hong Xu,Wen Li,Sheng Yang,Jianhui Wang,Jiali Ren,Feijun Luo,Jianxing Tang,Ling Wu,Yuanke Zhang,Dongmin Liu
The heavy metals contamination in soil has attracted increasing attention. In this study, the main objective was to determine three heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and Cr) of soils contaminated by smelting waste, and to evaluate pollution risk. The Pb (15.48 mg/kg) and Cd (311.39 mg/kg) mean concentrations exceeded the national standard, while Cr (48.60 mg/kg) concentration did not exceed. The Heavy metal fractions

GAME EQUILIBRIUM BASED CONTROL ANALYSIS ON THE SUSTAINABLE MARKET STRUCTURE OF RARE METAL MINERAL RESOURCES – EVIDENCE FROM CHINA J. Environ. Eng. Landsc. Manag. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-05-13 Shijie Ding,Jianbai Huang,Xiaodan Zhang,Meirui Zhong
In rare metal mineral market, as a complex system, multiple decision-making among the stakeholders increases the complexity in its market structure and dynamic process. The unreasonable compensation pricing mechanism for the development of the rare metal mineral resources in China requires to be studied. Drawing on the methods of game theory model and chaos control analysis, this paper builds theoretical

STUDY ON MEASUREMENT MODEL OF LIGNIN CONTENT IN PULP AFTER ALKALINE EXTRACTION J. Environ. Eng. Landsc. Manag. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-05-13 Zhichao Ma,Shaoxu Chen,Yongjun Yin,Yanying Zhou,Xiaodan Lu,Tingting Lin
Because kappa number cannot accurately represent the lignin content in the pulp after alkaline extraction, lead to the excessive dosage of bleaching chemicals added and the pollutant content increases. In order to accurately determine the dosage of bleaching agent, reduce pollutant emissions, a prediction model of lignin content of pulp was established by analyzing the correlation between lignin content

ANALYSIS OF ENERGY SAVING AND EMISSION REDUCTION OF SECONDARY FIBER MILL BASED ON DATA MINING J. Environ. Eng. Landsc. Manag. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2021-05-13 Song Hu,Jigeng Li,Mengna Hong,Yi Man
Waste paper recycling is an important way to realize the environmental protection development of the papermaking industry. The quality of the pulp will affect the pulp sales of the secondary fiber paper mills. The waste paper pulp can be adjusted by controlling the pulping process working conditions, but the working conditions of the waste paper pulping process have too many parameters. And the parameters
