“…Most of the research conducted internationally on waste classification and environmental protection awareness have indicated that policy measures play a significant role in influencing the residents' environmental beneficial behaviors [8]. Further, policy measures with a focus on rural waste classification behavior significantly enhance the residents' attitude to classify solid wastes before disposal.…”

Achieving waste classification and environmental protection awareness assists in enhancing the rural ecological environment, improves the quality of the rural residents’ life, and augments the rate of reusing resources within the rural setups. In order to study the factors influencing rural waste classification and environmental protection awareness, we conducted a project among rural residents of Jiangsu, China. We used both the logistic regression model and the ordinary least squares model to achieve the goals of this paper. Similarly, we found that the households’ level of education influenced the rural residents’ decision to classify waste and to protect the environment regarding whether a household consists of a village cadre; the availability of public waste collection facilities; the distance between households and the waste collection points; whether the waste is picked, assorted, and collected locally; and the cost of waste disposal. In light of all these factors, we recommended that the authorities should increase the rural residents’ waste classification and environmental protection awareness. Also, through the local government, the national government should strengthen and sustain rural waste disposal funds. Finally, there should be stringent laws and regulations outlining the role of the rural residents regarding waste classification and environmental protection awareness.

El incremento de residuos asociados al crecimiento de la población es un problema grave en nuestra sociedad. La posibilidad de biometanización es una alternativa amigable con el medio ambiente ya que contribuye al procesamiento de centenares de toneladas de basura que se acumulan en nuestras ciudades. En Neuquén, la fracción orgánica de los residuos alcanza el 44 % y es una potencial fuente de energía. Este puede ser valorizado por medio de biogas y compost.El potencial metanogénico se puede medir empleando el método de la jeringa que tiene la ventaja de ser un procedimiento experimental de bajo costo. El presente trabajo consistió en comparar la cantidad de biogas generada en función de la concentración de sólidos totales. El potencial de biogas es el volumen de producto generado por la cantidad de sustrato, en este caso, la fracción orgánica de los residuos. Se realizó el ensayo usandolo como sustrato y empleando el agua residual de laguna anaerobia como inóculo. Se utilizó jeringas de 60 ml a 35 °C con concentraciones sustrato 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 % y 40 % de sólidos totales de la fracción orgánica y 10 ml de inóculo de agua residual de laguna anaerobia. Se determinó que la condición más favorable fue para las concentraciones de 5 % y 20 % de sólidos totales. Además, se evaluó la preparación de un acelerante para el digestato por el método de zucconi.

The estimation of leachate quantities produced in landfills is necessary to dimension the treatment plants allowing to reduce the polluting load of these effluents and consequently avoid their negative impacts on the environment. Different leachate quantification methods were used in this study to assess the leachate volume produced at the Oum Azza landfill. The water balance method give comparable estimations of leachate production to the Ouled Berjal landfill ratio. The first method showed average values between 487 and 495 m3/day for 2015, 2018, and 2019, and at the same time, the second method gave values between 470 and 477 m3/day for the same years. In contrast, the World Bank ratio showed high values that vary between 2260 and 2295 m3/day for 2015, 2018, and 2019. The on‐site data and the statistical analysis showed us that the World Bank ratio is not adapted for the estimation of the leachates produced in Oum Azza landfill, while the water balance and the ratio of Ouled Berjal landfill allowed to give comparable results to reality.
