Abstract
With the rapid development of the economy and society, the production of municipal solid waste is continuously increasing worldwide. Therefore, harmless treatments and the disposal of municipal solid waste should be improved. This study combined the concept of Internet of things and smart environment protection with a “cloud, network, end” platform architecture to construct a smart management platform for the planning and management of landfills. The platform was developed for the mechanical biological treatment (MBT) of landfills and was divided into seven modules, landfill design, municipal solid waste production prediction, MBT waste microbial volume reduction, stability analysis, result analysis, remote monitoring, and sharing and communication, which can effectively improve the operation and management of waste, enhance the effective storage volume of a landfill, extend its service life, and thereby improve the sustainable development of the city. This study can be used as a reference for applications in similar projects worldwide.
Highlights
Municipal solid waste (MSW) refers to solid and semisolid waste produced from people’s daily activities or production processes, and it mainly includes kitchen residues, bricks and tile residues, paper, plastics, and yard and garden waste [1]
Considering the operation and management requirements of sanitary landfills and the technological aspects involved, this study proposes a smart management platform that combines the Internet of ings and smart environmental protection for the landfilling of waste from mechanical biological treatment (MBT). e platform is expected to accelerate the development of the environmental protection industry and promote the deep integration of the Internet of ings and environmental protection industry to provide a reference for the construction of smart landfill management platforms
Closed-Cycle Waste Management System in Germany. e first-generation MBT waste treatment technology in Germany is used to treat 20–30% of the organic waste, and the remaining ∼70% is landfilled. e second generation of MBT waste treatment technology uses the principle of mechanical separation to separate and utilise the high calorific value substances, such as metals and glasses. e remaining organic matter is sorted again for biological aerobic or anaerobic treatment before landfilling [40,41,42,43,44,45]. e application of MBT waste treatment technology can achieve the goals of waste reduction, recycling, and safe treatment
Summary
Municipal solid waste (MSW) refers to solid and semisolid waste produced from people’s daily activities or production processes, and it mainly includes kitchen residues, bricks and tile residues, paper, plastics, and yard and garden waste [1]. To mitigate the rapid growth in domestic waste production, source reduction and end disposal have been actively promoted worldwide End treatments such as landfilling and waste incineration often lead to environmental and social conflicts owing to their effects on nearby areas. Osiris is a comprehensive plan under the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme of the European Union, and it includes a set of integrated information infrastructure for the effective management of environmental pollution in Europe. It provides pollutant monitoring and disaster prevention through a sensing network and on-site monitoring systems. Considering the operation and management requirements of sanitary landfills and the technological aspects involved, this study proposes a smart management platform that combines the Internet of ings and smart environmental protection for the landfilling of waste from mechanical biological treatment (MBT). e platform is expected to accelerate the development of the environmental protection industry and promote the deep integration of the Internet of ings and environmental protection industry to provide a reference for the construction of smart landfill management platforms
