▼ The problems associated with solid waste management are global and require an integrated approach to arrive at a possible long term solution. Lusaka produces more waste than any other city in the country. This study focused on community based solid waste management strategies in Kamanga Compound of Lusaka. The objectives of the study were to: (i) identify solid waste management strategies; (ii) identify actors involved in solid waste management ;( iii) assess current status; (iv) and effectiveness of the adopted strategies. The study also examined sources of funding and funding mechanisms of the strategies. An examination of the legal and institutional frameworks supporting the adopted strategies was also done to asses their effectiveness in waste management.Investigations into the problem of solid waste management in Kamanga involved the administering of questionnaires and interview schedules to the residents of Kamanga and key stakeholders respectively. A field survey was also undertaken in Kamanga Compound. The study revealed that there was no uniform strategy for the residents of Kamanga at the household level. Each household adopted a strategy that suited it most.The most common strategy was temporal storage of waste for later collection by the community based enterprise Samarila Ukhondo. The waste generated was more of a mixture of organic and inorganic matter. in Actors involved were the residents themselves, Samarila Ukhondo a community based enterprise, the Market Business Association, the Lusaka City Council and the Environmental Council of Zambia.Despite various strategies adopted, waste still accumulated in the compound. The Lusaka City Council failed to remove waste from the communal dumpsites to the final disposal site. However, the Market Business Association effectively removed waste from the market and the surrounding areas. The major sources of funding for the strategies at household level were the residents themselves while at community level it was the government through the Lusaka City Council and donors like the Danish government. At household level, not all residents were able to pay waste collection user fees.The legal and institutional frameworks in place are adequate to deal with waste management problems. What lacks is the capacity of the Lusaka City Council to enforce the laws.Therefore, it is concluded that the waste management strategies adopted at household level were effective in removing waste in Kamanga, while at community level, they were not. This is because the Lusaka City Council did not perform its assigned roles. Until all actors perform their roles effectively, the problems of solid waste management in Kamanga Compound will remain unresolved for a long time to come.

▼ The constitutional democracy in South Africa, ushered in by the first democratic elections of 1994, has opened up opportunities for the rise of various issues that were previously marginalised. The current political dispensation, supported by new progressive legislation, has rendered reckless management of waste management unacceptable. As a result, the management of waste, particularly the dominant landfill site waste management facilities, has come under increasing scrutiny from civil society organisations, the public and affected communities. Whilst the new constitutional order has demarcated responsibility for the management of solid waste, reality indicates that in spite of various legislative attempts to ensure the institutionalisation of sound and integrated waste management, solid waste is still poorly managed by responsible authorities. It has also been evident that many municipalities in South Africa still rely on the problematic landfill sites as the dominant waste disposal facility, this despite the obvious environmental problems that land filling engenders. It has been noted that waste problems are still marginalised from the mainstream development initiatives of responsible municipalities. The poor management of solid waste and the negation of responsibility, as in the case in the Msunduzi Municipality, are indicative of the politics involved in the identification of policy issues that government attends to from the available pool of existing social concerns. The failure to find policy solutions to identified waste problems in the Msunduzi Municipality has provoked questions around how policy issues negotiate their way onto the government agenda. The biggest issue from a public policy perspective is how does government decide on which issues they will address amongst the numerous and equally pressing social problems that warrant government attention. Using Kingdon‟s agenda-setting theory, this dissertation found that problem definition, policy dynamics and political interests all play influential roles in the agenda status of social problems and whether they are addressed or not. As a result, the study argues that there must be positive interaction between the three, problem, policy and political streams, in order to produce a solution to the policy issues of waste management in the Msunduzi Municipality.

▼ This study investigates the use ofthe in situ passive sampling technique of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) to measure trace metal contaminants in overlying water and sediment porewater adjacent to a waste disposal site at the year-round Australian Antarctic research base, Casey Station. Marine sediment in a bay adjacent to the waste disposal site has been previously identified as having elevated levels oftrace metals, in particular Cd, Pb, Sn, Cu and Zn. Further development of the DGT technique was investigated with the application and testing of a new paper-based DGT sampler. These samplers were more cheaper, robust and easier to assemble than the original gel-based model, and were less affectedby pH and ionic strength. The paper-based DGT samplers had a lower than expected uptake of metals compared to the gel-based samplers in a field trial, so these samplers were not considered for Antarctic field work. Calibration ofthe gelbased DGT samplers using the "DGT uptake method" at a temperature suitable for Antarctic deployments resulted in diffusion coefficients 93 - 114% of the literature values, indicating that the technique is suitable for use in Antarctic waters. Deployment of DGT water samplers in Antarctic waters adjacent to the waste disposal site and in pristine waters resulted in only Cd, Fe and Ni being measured, with other metals being less than detection limits. The annual summer melt draining through the tip did not appear to affect the concentrations of these metals in the water. The use of Empore preconcentration disks resulted in the quantification of all metals analysed, except Cr, and the comparison ofresults between Empore and DGT supports previous findings that metals in the marine environment are associated with colloidal or particulate material. The use of DGT sediment probes demonstrated elevated levels of Sn, Pb, Fe and As in the sediment porewater, consistent with direct porewater measurements which showed elevated levels of Sn, Pb, Mn and Fe compared to pristine locations. Comparison of DGT sediment probe results to direct porewater measurements showed that Sn and Fe were resupplied to the porewater from the solid phase. Further sediment characterisation work was undertaken to investigate why some of the metals (such as Cd, Cu and Zn) were present in low concnetraions in the porewater. Very high levels of acid volatile sulfides, up to 1600 pg g"', were detected in sediment adjacent to-the waste disposal site. The high concentration of reactive sulfides in the sediment appears to be the main controlling factor of metal availability in the porewater.

▼ Many closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are located near urban areas, even though originally established away from residential or commercial communities. Construction on top of closed landfills is generally a challenging task due to complex behaviour of creep, settlement and weak shear strength of waste materials. There is a high prospective to reuse these sites for redevelopment in spite of potential risk for human health and environment. The deep dynamic compaction technique is a common ground improvement technique due to its relatively economical and easy application for landfill sites. With deep dynamic compaction, large voids reduce and afterward other techniques such as cement, fly ash or lime grouting can further reduce the remaining smaller voids. Numerous studies have been conducted to treat and stabilise different types of problematic soils using fly ash with combination of lime. However, there is no comprehensive research on improvement of physical properties of MSW landfills using chemical admixtures such as fly ash and lime. This study presents the experimental and numerical results of employing fly ash (class F) and quicklime (calcium oxide) in stabilisation of municipal solid wastes. The waste materials, used in this study, were collected from a closed landfill in the south-west of Sydney. The samples were prepared by integrating MSW, with a mixture of fly ash-quicklime with a ratio of 3:1 in percentages of 5, 10, 15 and 20 of fly ash by dry weight of the MSW. An array of experimental tests has been conducted on treated and untreated MSW samples including sieve analysis, Atterberg limits, compaction, permeability, large direct shear, unconfined compressive strength and consolidated-drained triaxial tests. Results of this investigation are evidence for a significant improvement in geotechnical properties of MSW materials, mixed with fly ash and quicklime. It has been found that the chemical stabilisation effectively increases the maximum dry density, the compressive strength, the shear strength parameters, the stiffness and the brittleness index, while decreases the compressibility, the permeability coefficient and the optimum moisture content of the MSW. It has been quantified that by increasing fly ash-quicklime admixtures from 0 to 26.7% (0 to 20% fly ash) the internal friction angle increased from 29° to 39° and the cohesion intercept increased from 11 kPa to 30 kPa. Under an effective confining pressure of 300 kPa, the peak strength, the brittleness index and the Young’s modulus at failure increased from 600 kPa to 1150 kPa, 0.13 to 0.35 and 5.5 MPa to 28 MPa, respectively, by addition of 26.7% fly ash-quicklime admixture. The coefficient of permeability for untreated specimen was 6.2×10-8 m/s and it was reduced to 3.2×10-8 m/s for specimens mixed with 26% fly ash-quicklime (under average confining pressure of 250 kPa). The compression and the secondary compression indices decreased from 0.33 to 0.23 and 0.052 to 0.033, respectively. Moreover, increasing the curing time enhanced the…

▼ The practices of solid waste management (SWM) and solid waste disposal (SWD) in Kano metropolis, Nigeria, were examined. The water quality of groundwater sources in the areas adjacent to the SWD sites was monitored in order to evaluate interactions and assess the possibility of groundwater contamination as a result of percolation of the leachates generated in the SWD sites. An integrated approach to the field investigation was employed in the study. This included an extensive desk study; a field survey of all existing SWD sites in the area; leachate and groundwater sampling; and laboratory-based experimental and instrumental analyses. The locations of the SWD sites relative to inhabited areas were examined, and eight sites and their environs were selected for leachate and groundwater sampling and quality assessments in May 2009 and May 2010. It was observed that SWM activities in Kano metropolis are unsystematic and pose a significant risk to both public health and environmental quality, especially in relation to local groundwater sources. It was also found that the leachates produced in the sampled sites contained significant concentrations of a wide range of contaminants; including nitrates, total alkalinity, total dissolved solids, chlorides and sulphates. The leachates were also observed to be in the methanogenic phase of biochemical degradation and were shown to have similar characteristics to other leachates from mature SWD sites in different parts of the world. Similarly, the physico-chemical characteristics of the groundwater samples around the selected SWD sites indicated high concentrations of nitrates, chlorides, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, turbidity, iron and manganese, often above the WHO thresholds for acceptable drinking water quality. It is, therefore, concluded that the shallow groundwater sources analysed have been contaminated, due largely to improper SWM practice. This, in turn, affects not only the health and well-being of the local population, but also impedes developmental efforts and obstructs prosperity. Accordingly, some strategies for pollution prevention and control were developed for Kano metropolis, although they are also applicable to other urban areas with similar characteristics. These strategies, which are largely categorised as resource-focused, source-focused or remedial measures, can be achieved through: (1) identification and mapping of pollution sources; (2) establishment of databases and information management system; (3) vulnerability mapping; (4) establishment of functional monitoring and evaluation system; (5) promotion of public awareness and participation; (6) establishment of protection zones; and (7) the integration of pollution prevention and control strategy into urban planning, development and management of municipal services.

▼ Hazardous waste substances are solid, semi-solid or non-aqueous liquids that exhibit characteristics of corrosivity, reactivity, ignitability, toxicity and infectious property. Major available options for management of hazardous waste include direct disposal into landfill or chemical treatment/stabilization of wastes prior to landfill disposal. Hazardous wastes are accepted for direct disposal in engineered landfills if they conform to the chemical concentration limit criterion (determined by water leach test followed by estimation of the concentration of the contaminant) and compressive strength (the material should have compressive strength > 50 kPa) criterion. Lead is classified as extremely toxic metal. Elevated levels of lead in water (surface and ground water) primarily arise from industrial discharges, and aerial deposition. During its residence in surface water bodies, the lead may interact detrimentally with aquatic life or be abstracted into public water supplies. According to National drinking water standards, the permissible limit of lead in drinking water is 0.05 mg/l. Deposition of air-borne lead, disposal of sewage sludge on land and disposal of industrial effluents on lands are major sources of lead contamination of soils. When incorporated in soil, lead is of very low mobility. Lead retained in soils can be slowly leached to the groundwater thereby impacting human health if consumed for potable needs. Alternatively lead deposited in soils can be absorbed by vegetation (crops/trees) and can impact human health on their consumption. Given the negative impacts of lead contamination on human health, the strong affinity of soils to retain deposited lead and the possible release for human consumption, this thesis focuses on characterization and chemical stabilization of artificially lead contaminated soils in the context of their disposal in hazardous waste landfills. The main objectives of the thesis are: characterize artificially lead contaminated soils for water leachability of lead and undrained strength characteristics as per CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) guidelines in the context of disposal criteria in hazardous waste landfills. Artificially lead contaminated soils in compacted and slurry states are used in the thesis. Red soil (from Bangalore District, Karnataka) and river sand are used in the preparation of compacted and slurry specimens. The red soil and red soil-sand specimens are artificially contaminated in the laboratory by employing aqueous lead salt solutions as remolding fluids. Lead concentrations of 160 to 10000 mg/l are used in this study. The results of characterization studies with artificially lead contaminated soils help identify contaminated soil materials that require chemical stabilization prior to disposal into engineered landfills. Based on the results of characterization studies with artificially lead contaminated soils, lime stabilization coupled with steam curing technique is resorted to immobilize lead in the red soil-sand slurry specimens and mobilize adequate… Advisors/Committee Members: Rao, Sudhakar M.

▼ The oil industry is growing increasingly aware of its serious image problem. There is a growing awareness of the systematic abuses of people and the environment inherent in the production, processing and marketing of petroleum. (Rowell, 1997). From the Club of Rome to the Bruntland Report to Rio De Janeiro and Johannesburg Earth Summits, increased pressure on the oil industry has been witnessed. Pressure has mounted to, in particular, start managing the industry’s impact on the environment. It was the first pictures of earth from space, which revealed the view of the limited “spaceship earth”, after which Garrett Hardin’s seminal article, entitled ‘The Tragedy of the Commons’ triggered an understanding of the close links between the environment and our economic activity in 1974, Daniel Yergin (1991) argues. Today the oil industry is facing ‘peak oil’ (the point in time when the maximum rate of petroleum extraction will be reached) and the looming fallout from environmental damage costs and disasters (Clyde,1996). It has been argued by Brain Clyde (1996) that the emergence of notions of ‘sustainable development’ and practice in the context of the oil industry, reifies global capitalism as the liberating and protecting force (Clyde, 1996). This thesis sets out to explore these notions of sustainable development and the ways in which they challenge (or not) the foundations of knowledge around environmentally ethical behaviour amongst large oil companies and the manner in which they manage, in particular, used oil. There is a growing body of research contained in the fields of Political Ecology and Industrial Ecology that points to the need for blame to be placed between multinational oil companies and national governments for failing in their mandate to protect the environment (Africa Institute, 2013 and Danida, 2012). This thesis argues that used oil management is not only the responsibility of oil companies but also that of national governments and suppliers in the general public. If the role of national governments is to create enabling conditions for the development of “fit for purpose” waste policy and regulations in order to lead or track “best practices” in used oil management, this thesis shows that more often than not, policy has either failed in practice or has not been developed owing to a lack of political will. The prospects for implementation of best practices typically speak to concepts of recycling, reuse and proper disposal in terms of Lansink’s Ladder (1979) concept (He was a Dutch member of parliament who presented a schematic presentation of the order of preference for waste management options, with disposal at the bottom and prevention at the top) of the “waste hierarchy” with which this study engages (Gertsakis and Lewis, 2003). The waste management hierarchy supports the approaches taken in studies in the field of Industrial Ecology which suggest practice-based solutions to waste oil and policy development. This thesis explores four contexts of waste management in Africa, focusing on comparisons… Advisors/Committee Members: Murray, Noeleen (advisor).

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the egree of Master of Technology: Chemical Engineering, Durban University of Technology, 2011.

The South African electroplating industry generates large volumes of hazardous waste water that has to be treated prior to disposal. The main source of this waste water has been the rinse system. Conventional end-ofpipe waste water treatment technologies do not meet municipality standards. The use of technologies such as membranes, reverse osmosis and ion exchange are impractical, mainly due to their cost and technical requirements. This study identified source point reduction technologies, close circuiting of the electroplating process, specific to the rinse system as a key development. Specifically the application of a low flow counter current rinse system for the recovery of the rinse water in the plating bath was selected. However, the recovery of the rinse tank water was impeded by the low rates of evaporation from the plating bath, which was especially prevalent in the low temperature operating plating baths. This master’s study proposes the use of an induced draft evaporative cooling tower for facilitation of evaporation in the plating bath. For total recovery of the rinse tank water, the rate of evaporation from the plating bath has to be equivalent to the rinse tanks make up water requirements. A closed circuit plating system mathematical model was developed for the determination of the mass evaporated from the plating bath and the cooling tower for a specified time and the equilibrium temperature of the plating bath and the cooling tower. The key criteria in the development of the closed circuit plating system model was the requirement of minimum solution specific data as this information is not readily available. The closed circuit plating system model was categorised into the unsteady state and steady state temperature regions and was developed for the condition of water evaporation only. The closed circuit plating system model was programmed into Matlab and verified. The key factors affecting the performance of the closed circuit plating system were identified as the plating solution composition and operational temperature, ambient air temperature, air flow rate and cooling tower iv packing surface area. Each of these factors was individually and simultaneously varied to determine their sensitivity on the rate of water evaporation and the equilibrium temperature of the plating bath and cooling tower. The results indicated that the upper limit plating solution operational temperature, high air flow rates, low ambient air temperature and large packing surface area provided the greatest water evaporation rates and the largest temperature drop across the height of the cooling tower in the unsteady state temperature region. The final equilibrium temperature of the plating bath and the cooling tower is dependent on the ambient air temperature. The only exception is that at low ambient air temperatures the rate of water…

▼ The UK has a large and growing inventory of higher activity radioactive waste awaiting safe long term disposal. The international consensus is to dispose of this radioactive and toxic waste within a deep geological repository, situated 200-1,000 metres beneath the ground surface. The deep geological disposal facility is designed to be a series of engineered and natural barriers. Groundwater forms an integral component of the natural barrier because it 1) controls the flux of reactive components towards the engineered repository, and 2) forms one of the primary transport mechanism through which released radionuclides can be transported away from the repository. The timescale of protection provided by the natural barrier exceeds those provided by the engineered barriers. Knowledge of the regional hydrogeology is a vital step towards predicting the long term performance of any potential repository site. Topically, a UK government decision in 2017 to re-open a nation-wide repository location search has now created a renewed mandate for site exploration. This research aims to determine the regional groundwater characteristics of three UK settings, selected to be hydrogeologically distinct, in order to determine which, if any, offers natural long term hydrogeological containment potential. The settings selected for analysis include Sellafield in West Cumbria, the Tynwald Basin within the East Irish Sea Basin, and Thetford within East Anglia. Site selection is based on diverse groundwater characteristics, and on previous research suggesting potential hydrogeological suitability at these locations. This research is novel in that it provides, for the first time, a direct comparison between the characteristics and qualities of different regional groundwater settings to contain and isolate radioactive waste, based on UK site specific data. Large and detailed numerical models for the three sites, covering areas of 30 km length by 2- 4 km depth have been developed using the open source finite element code 'OpenGeoSys'. The models couple the physical processes of liquid flow and heat transport, in order to replicate regional scale groundwater flow patterns. Models are calibrated to measured rock properties, and predict groundwater behaviour 10,000 years into the future. Uncertain parameter ranges of lithological and fault permeabilities, and peak repository temperatures are tested to determine the possible range of groundwater outcomes. Geochemical retention is assessed separately and validated using the finite difference modelling software 'GoldSim'. Worst case groundwater characteristics for containment and isolation at each site are compared to an 'ideal' benchmark far-field hydrogeological outflow scenario, and scored accordingly using a newly proposed method of assessment. Results show that the Tynwald Basin offers the best potential of the three sites for natural radionuclide containment, performing between 3.5 and 4 times better than Sellafield, and between 1.7 and 4 times better than Thetford. The Tynwald Basin is…

▼ Abstract by author:; The study examines examines the management of solid waste in the three informal settlements of Windhoek, which are Babylon, Okahandja Park and Okuryangava. Before independence, the apartheid government forbade natural urban expansion in "black" suburbs. This resulted in grossly overcrowded conditions, often with an entire family living in one small room. This was not the case after independence in 1990, when a democratic government took power; people began moving out of their overcrowded homes and started constructing shacks on the periphery of the town. At the same time others perceived this as an opportunity to migrate from rural to urban areas. This exercise contributed to the overcrowded squatter settlements and in turn contributed to a problem of waste; This study focuses on alternative approaches, which are the increasing community participation and improving recycling and reuse of solid waste. The main objective of the study is to investigate ways in which community participation can be improved in solid waste management. The information was collected mainly through literature search, personal interviews with residents of the three informal settlements, various government and non-government officials. The study further suggests new methods and techniques on how to improve solid waste management in informal settlements; One important findings of the study is that since human beings are generators of solid waste, their participation in managing waste is indispensable. The study further discovered that they introduction of recycling and reuse will contribute to a total reduction of solid wastes in informal settlements; The study proposes that the 240 litre wheelie-bins and containers should be given to each dweller in order to replace the black plastic bag system that is currently in use. Transportation of waste should be improved; especially the use of tractors should be introduced Advisors/Committee Members: Kakujaha-Matundu Omu (advisor), van Donge JanKees (advisor).

▼ In Zambia, like in many other countries, industrialisation has brought with it the problem of environmental pollution associated with industrial waste waters. The discharge of industrial waste water into public sewers may deteriorate sewer structures, increase maintenance costs, add problems in sewage treatment and contribute to stream pollution.Direct discharge into streams may harm aquatic life and deem the water unfit for its intended use. It is therefore necessary to reduce the volumes and strengths of wastes by a combination of measures. Realising that some work has already been done with regard to the legal, policy and administrative frameworks, this study sought to clarify the situation with regard to industrial wastewater management. The study covered three main areas,each of which had its own objectives. These were: a) Industrial waste water management in Zambia (i)To analyse the effectiveness, relevance and currency of the relevant legal, policy and administrative frameworks with regard to industrial waste water management in Zambia (ii)To assess the perspectives and awareness of local industry regarding the relevant legislative and other frameworks and the resulting responses b) Case study of a Lusaka slaughterhouse (i) To evaluate the installed industrial technology (ii)To establish water use patterns and conservation measures (iii) To assess awareness of effluent regulations and compliance requirements (iv) To evaluate the status of pretreatment technology (v)To establish the availability of analytical facilities for water quality testing c) Pilot plant investigations on treatability of slaughterhouse wastewater by trickling filtration (i)To assess treatability of slaughterhouse wastewater by trickling filters (ii)To assess the potential for reducing pollution loads so as to meet discharge standards (iii)To provide a basis for the design of a full scale trickling filter treatment plant Assessment of industrial wastewater management was carried out by way of an extensive literature review of the relevant legislation and local publications. This was backed by interviews and discussions with personnel from industry, relevant government departments and local authorities. The awareness and perspectives of local industries to environmental legislation and related issues was further ascertained by conducting industrial site surveys coupled with questionnaires. The situation was further clarified by a case study of a slaughterhouse in Lusaka involving water and wastewater management. The industrial technology, water supply and consumption situation, wastewater production and treatment and attitude towards environmental protection were established by working in close cooperation with personnel in various sections of the plant. Pilot plant investigations were carried out on a rock media fixed distributor trickling filter on the treatability of slaughterhouse wastewater. Treatability studies were based on COD removal efficiency of composite samples. It has been found that there are a lot of…
