Mitigation of Landfill Gas Emissions (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Landfilling has been and still remains an important means of municipal solid waste management but it poses a threat to the purity of the environment, especially air. In the coming years, a radical decline in the share of landfilling in waste disposal practices should not be expected. However, this is not to say that people are powerless in the face

Mägorzata Paw¿owska, Ph.D., Sc.D. is a researcher and lecturer working at the Faculty of Environmental Engineering of Lublin University of Technology. From 2012 she is a head of the Department of Alternative Fuels Engineering. She received her M.Sc. of the philosophy of nature and the protection of the environment at the Catholic University of Lublin in 1993. In 1999 she received her Ph.D. in agrophysics after defence the thesis entitled: "A possibility of the reduction of methane emission form landfill by its biochemical oxidation in landfill cover-model study", at the Institute of Agrophysics of the Polish Academy of Science. Mrs. Paw¿owska is an author and co-author of fifty five papers and book chapters, two monographs, one handbook on biofuels, five patents and several patent applications. She is also the co-editor of two monographs. The major areas of her scientific interest is control of gas emission from landfills, with special attention to methane and BTEX biooxidation in landfill covers and biofilters. She is also working on biogas production from waste.
