Study Notes

Waste and Resource Management

  • Addresses the handling and processing of waste materials and resources.
  • Focuses on waste reduction, reuse, and responsible disposal.
  • The goal is to minimize environmental impact and maximize resource utilization.
  • Outlines the legal and regulatory requirements for waste and resource management.
  • Provides the structure for the waste management in terms of laws.
  • Includes the guidelines and standards that need to be followed.

Landfilling

  • The Deponieverordnung (DepV) in combination with the Technische Anleitung Siedlungsabfall TASI gives the standards for landfills.
  • The selection of a landfill location considers geological and hydrogeological site conditions.
  • Requires safety setbacks from sensitive areas
  • Considers the risk of earthquakes and floods.
  • Requires the creation of barriers TASI.
  • Prevents release and spread which requires state of the art tech.
  • Groundwater is considered during disposals
  • Only inert materials are deposited.
  • TL-Gestein-StB focuses on the regulation of building materials.

Waste Hierarchy and Circular Economy Act (KrWG)

  • Vermeidung- waste prevention
  • Vorbereitung zur Wiederverwendung- preparing for re-use
  • Recycling (stoffliche Verwertung) - recycling- material use
  • Sonstige Verwertung- other use
  • Beseitigung- sending to landfill
  • Includes some preventative measures- avoid waste
  • Procedures use products for same purposes.
  • Provides the generation for some secondary resources.
  • The energy is used to generate heat, and electricity.

Limit Values Inert Landfill

  • Gas formation potential GB21 in liters per kilogram of dry substance.
  • Anaerobic activity is measured using a eudiometer (gasometer).
  • Respiration activity AT4 in milligrams of oxygen per gram of dry substance.
  • Organic substance consumption measured by O2 consumption using a sapromat.
  • Glow loss as a percentage in dry substance and estimates the total carbon content.
  • TOC is the Total Organic Carbon amount in mg/l
  • Heating value is calculated in kJ/kg.

Biogenic Raw Materials

  • Materials can be turned into product based on the process
  • Sugar and starch plants go through fermentation to produce biogenic liquid fuel (bioethanol).
  • Oil plants are pressed and extracted to get biogenic liquid fuels (biodiesel).
