Bio Gas Generation from Biodegradable Kitchen Waste

Bio Gas Generation from Biodegradable Kitchen Waste



Srinvasa Reddy.N., Satyanarayana.S.V., Sudha.G



Generation of Solid wastes in general and biodegradable waste in
particular is increasing at house hold level over the last two decades.
Per capita generation of the waste has been increasing steadily due to
population growth and changing socio-economic characteristics and
cultural habits and varies from 250g to 600g. Any material which can
be decomposable by the action of microorganisms in a short period of
time is called biodegradable Mostly food waste; vegetable peels and
fruit pulp are biodegradable. These materials readily mix with the soil
by the action of bacteria. During decomposition, these materials release
carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia and hydrogen sulphide into the
environment thereby contributes to air pollution and odour pollution.
The gases that are released during the decay of biodegradable wastes can
be captured for the economic utility and as well as to save the
environment. An attempt is being made in this technical research paper
to demonstrate the possibilities energy recovery from biodegradable
kitchen waste that is collected from residential societies which can be
utilized for the benefits of the society. Kitchen and food waste
collected from a high end residential community of 300 families in
Mumbai city suburbs is analyzed for the quantification of bio gas. Bio
gas is captured through a fabricated anaerobic digester.
Experimentation and results are discussed. The results are encouraging.

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran Shadi Maleki, Abbas Mafi, Seyedeh Mahsa Hosseini Today, as an essential part and parcel of urban landscape that they play a major role in metabolism and create a lack of serious damage to urban life. This study performed to investigate the willingness of citizens to participate in activities to protect and develop landscapeof Tehran district 4. The research was descriptive and correlation method that is used for collecting information. The statistical population consisted of district 4 of Tehran. The sample size was determined 230 by using Cochrane method. A questionnaire was used to collect data. According to the research, 63.04 percent of citizens showed participation in a high level. Among the variables investigated how citizen participation in conservation and development of landscape, effective strategies to motivate citizens to participate,the reasons for la...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
