Biochar and Resource Convalescence Burgeoning from Municipal Solid Waste in Pakistan

Khan I

Municipal Solid Waste Management System (MSWMS) has been a smoldering and exigent concern of most of
the mounting economies. Inhabitants explosion, industrial expansion and economic development consequences
serious outcomes such as catastrophic municipal solid waste management system, open dumping of organic waste
and the associated Green House Gases (GHG) emissions are the key matters of the most of the developing
economies. Contiguous psychoanalysis and experimental exploration in the current study concluded that higher
proportion of organic waste (71%), combustible (19%) and recyclable (7%) in the current municipal solid waste
stream at Mardan and Peshawar cities of Pakistan. The current waste collection efficiency (120-130 out of 300 tons
per day) in the Mardan and Peshawar city has enough potential to produce Biochar of about 18.5-20 tons per day),
Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) of about 18.4 tons per day and recyclable of 11.5 tons per day can be recovered. These
waste distraction routes built in with Biochar and Resource Recovery (RR) could steeply reduce the waste dumping
quantity especially organic fraction disposal at landfill sites which otherwise require better management for safe and
regulated disposal.
