| Abstract | To day, with the growth of economic activities, population, rapid industrialization in big city and improvement of living standard that have lead to more environmental problems. One of the environmental problems with regards to the amount of municipal solid waste and complexity of waste has become a serious threat to the environment and public health of Hanoi City. The increasing in generation of municipal solid waste and lack of strategy for municipal solid waste treatments are compounding problems. With the view above, this study focused on some environmental aspects that are important for developing the combination and evaluation strategy for municipal solid waste treatments by both composting and sanitary landfill methods to the year of 2020. The methodology of the study involved collection of data and information on environment at area of municipal solid waste treatments, organic fertilizer demand, quality of them for cultivation through field survey, questionnaires. Data analyzed including population growth, municipal solid waste generation, composition changing, amount of municipal solid waste dumping, and amount of municipal solid waste for composting production, as well as estimation of leachate, CH4, CO2, energy consumption, CO2 emission from energy consumption, CO2 emission from electricity consumption relate to production of electricity from coal, diesel oil, and gas of both Nam Son Landfill, Cau Dien composting plant. Compare these estimation results before and after the scenario of a new composting plant with treatment capacity about 250,000 ton/ year operation in 2010.These estimation results show that the amount of municipal solid waste generated was 863,010 ton, with 51 organic waste composition in 1999, it is estimate increase to 1,812,700 ton, with 45% organic waste in 2020. Beside, when a new composting plant with capacity treatment about 250,000 ton/year operation in 2010 we can reduce 4 % of the total land area requirement for landfill, total CH4 gas generation reduce 1% in term of kg , total leachate generation reduce 9.2% , total energy consumption reduce 1.2%with diesel oil, 3.5% with gasoline and electricity consumption increase 31.8%, CO2 generation from energy consumption reduce 0.1% with diesel oil and 0.1 % with gasoline, electricity consumption and CO2 emission from electricity production by coal increase 31.8%, 31.8% with diesel oil, and 31.8% with gas. |
