  • The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is essential for every community; and, it is currently a major challenge in Nigeria. This paper provides an overview of the current MSW management trends in Nigeria and proposes new sustainable MSW management systems. Across Nigerian cities, MSW management is characterized by inefficient collection and transportation to disposal sites. Collection services do not reach some unplanned areas and slums due to poor street network. Even some planned areas are not reached by collection services. The informal sector contributes to waste collection, resource recovery and recycling; however, their activities are not recognized by the governments. Markets exist for recovered materials but more efforts need to be geared towards intensive recovery of materials and expansion of these markets. Despite the high proportion of putrescible matter in MSW, the only form of treatment commonly used currently is open burning for volume reduction. The high organic fraction presents a great opportunity for composting and anaerobic digestion. Ultimate disposal is currently done in open dumpsites. This needs to be upgraded to engineered landfills that are properly sited and adequately operated by well trained personnel. There is an emerging waste stream of concern, electronic-waste (e-waste), that requires urgent sustainable management as e-waste are currently co-disposed with other waste streams or burnt in the open posing detrimental health impacts.

  • 본 논문에서는 아파트를 비롯한 집단 거주지에서 대량으로 발생되는 음식물 쓰레기를 가축 사육 농가 등 도심 인근 지역 수요자에게 온라인 거래를 통해 판매할 수 있도록 지원하는 전자상거래 서비스를 제안하고자 한다. 제안 서비스는 일반적인 전자상거래와는 달리 사물인터넷 기반의 센서와 통신 모듈이 탑재된 스마트 음식물 쓰레기통을 이용해 각 아파트의 위치 정보와 배출되는 음식물 쓰레기의 양을 자동으로 수집한 후 이를 특화된 전자상거래 플랫폼 상에서 시각화된 정보로 제공하여 수요자에게 판매하는 것을 핵심으로 한다. 스마트 음식물 쓰레기통은 무게 센서와 GPS 센서 그리고 LoRa 통신 모듈을 이용해 주기적으로 현재 용량을 클라우드 기반의 데이터베이스로 전달하며, 이렇게 수집된 여러 아파트의 위치 정보와 용량 정보는 웹사이트나 모바일 애플리케이션 형태의 전자상거래 서비스 운영에 활용이 된다. 제안하는 전자상거래 서비스는 각 아파트에서 구매자가 있는 인근 지역 농가까지 음식물 쓰레기를 배달하는 서비스와 연계함으로써 지역 경제 활성화와 더불어 음식물 쓰레기 처리 문제를 해결하는 데 큰 도움이 될 것이라 기대한다.

  • Enzymatic hydrolysis of waste office paper was evaluated using three commercial cellulases, Acremonium cellulase, Meicelase, and Cellulosin T2. Varying the enzyme loading from 1 to 10% (w/w) conversion of waste office paper to reducing sugar was investigated. The conversion increased with the increase in the enzyme loading: in the case of enzyme loading of 10% (w/w), Acremonium cellulase yielded 79%conversion of waste office paper, which was 17% higher compared to Meicelase, 13% higher than that of Cellulosin T2. Empirical model for the conversion (%) of waste office paper to re-ducing sugar (x) was derived from experimental results as follow, x = $kE^{m}t^{(aE+b)}$ where k, m, a, and b de-note empirical constants. E indicates initial enzyme concentration.
