Municipal solid waste landfills are unpredictable bioreactors which in cases of mishandling and bad supervision presents numerous risks. The key to municipal waste landfills is to approach them from the point of prevention of the possible consequences, which means using methods of organized waste disposal, and also utilizing landfill gas, as an unavoidable consequence with disposal of municipal solid waste with a high share of biodegradable organic matter. This paper presents an overview about problems of solid municipal waste management, type and composition of waste, and an overview of waste management condition. Further, the problem of landfill and landfill gasses is described with the calculation models of landfill production, as well as the use of the SWM GHG Calculator and LandGEM software on a specific example of gas production for the central zone at Sarajevo landfill "Smiljevici". Main focus of this thesis is the analysis of potentials of greenhouse gas emission reduction measures from the waste management. Overview of the best available techniques in waste management is presented as well as the methodology used for calculations. Scenarios of greenhouse gas emission reduction in waste management were defined so that emissions were calculated using the appropriate model. In the final section of the paper, its description of the problem of collection and utilization the landfill gas at the sanitary landfill "Smiljevici", and implementation of the system for landfill gas collection and solution suggestion for the gasification and exploitation of gas. Energy, environmental and economic benefits can be accomplished by utilizing municipal solid waste as fuel in industry and energy and moreover by utilizing energy generation from landfill gas, which this thesis emphasizes.

The objective of this study was to investigate the component ratio of gas generated at closed GD landfill site in MY city and the decomposition status of landfill gas, and was to examine and analyze the properties of the landfill gas. In addition, to provide basic data required to stabilize landfill earlier in the future, the study was to measure gas by landfill gas gauge and to analyze the properties of landfill gas based on documents. As a result of analyzing the properties, acquired follow results. 1. The main elements of landfill gas, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ were respectively 25.02% and 22.325 on the average. 2. $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ were respectively 1.07 4.97 and 0.75 1.15 on the average. 3. Generated gas was different depending on water, pH properties of MSW(Munticipal Solid Wastes) and their decomposition rate. Furthermore, when measured the temperature of room to inspect landfill gas, the temperature was $22{\;}-{\;}30^{\circ}C$ in the average.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and methane emissions from landfills have been linked to global warming. In this study, LandGEM (Landfill Gas Emission Model) was applied to predict landfill gas quantity over time, and then this result was compared with the data surveyed on the site, Cheongju Megalo Landfill. LandGEM allows the input of site-specific values for methane generation rate (k) and potential methane generation capacity $L_o$, but in this study, k value of 0.05/yr and $L_o$ value of $170m^3/Mg$ were considered to be most appropriate for reflecting non-arid temperate region conventional landfilling, Cheongju Megalo Landfill. High discrepancies between the surveyed data and the predicted data about landfill gas seems to be derived from insufficient compaction of daily soil-cover, inefficient recovery of landfill gas and banning of direct landfilling of food garbage waste in 2005. This study can be used for dissemination of information and increasing awareness about the benefits of recovering and utilizing LFG (landfill gas) and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and methane emissions from landfill sites have been linked to global warming. In this study, LandGEM (Landfill Gas Emission Model) was applied to predict landfill gas quantity over time, and then this result was compared with the data surveyed on the site, Cheongju Megalo Landfill. LandGEM allows the input of site-specific values for methane generation rate (k) and potential methane generation capacity $L_o$, but in this study, k value of 0.04/yr and $L_o$ value of $100\;m^3$/ton were considered to be most appropriate for reflecting non-arid temperate region conventional landfilling like Cheongju Megalo Landfill. Relatively high discrepancies between the surveyed data and the predicted data about landfill gas seems to be derived from insufficient compaction of daily soil-cover, inefficient recovery of landfill gas and banning of direct landfilling of food waste in 2005. This study can be used for dissemination of information and increasing awareness about the benefits of recovering and utilizing LFG (landfill gas) and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

가스와 물이 공존하는 쓰레기 매립지에 개설된 여러개의 포집정으로부터 매립가스와 침출수의 추출량을 정확히 예측한다는 것은 매우 어렵다. 그러나 매립지 공극에 포함된 침출수와 가스의 상대적인 투과능력을 파악할 수 있다면 추출량을 어느정도 예측할 수 있다. 즉, 현장과 유사한 실험환경에서 침출수와 가스의 상대유체투과도를 측정하여 이 값을 다공질 매질을 통과하는 다상 유체유동방정식의 입력자료로 사용함으로써 포집정으로부터 각상의 추출량을 얻을수 있다.

Recently almost wastes except recycled garbage are dumped into landfill site in Korea. Landfills are significant compounds (NMOCS) are produced. NMOCS include reactive volative organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants. LAEEM (Landfill Air Emissions Estimation Model) developed by Control Technology Center, V.S. EPA is used to estimate a mount of landfill gas from all landfills. As the result, landfill gas 4,121,000 ton, carbon dioxide 2,951,000 ton, methane 1,1120,000 ton are estimated as emissions from all landfills in Korea.

Most of methane gas result from waste matter in landfill, therefore the persons concerned take an increasing interest in management of gases in landfill. Infrared Gas Analyzer was used to measure components of gases, $CH_4,$ $CO_2,$ $O_2,$ through gas exhausted pipe. To measure amount of the gas flow meter(Portable Hot-Line Current Meter) was used and it was set at right angles with direction of the flow. In this research the total amount of methane gas produced in Beck-Suk Landfill was calculated through FOD method suggested by IPCC. This research found that in Chon-An Beck-Suk Landfill anaerobic resolution was made actively and the amount of methane gas produced there was 54.14%, which is higher than common figure, 50%, in other researches. The components of reclaimed waste matter, especially, organic waste matter can have a great effect of the amount of the greenhouse gases produced in landfill. We can expect that the amount of greenhouse gas will decrease from 2005, when it will be prohibited from carrying kitchen refuse and sludge into landfill.

In this study, the Tier 2 method recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was used to predict the methane generation rate at two landfill sites, designated as Y and C for purposes of this study, in South Korea. Factors such as the average annual waste disposal, methane emissions ($L_0$) and methane gas generation rate constant (k) were estimated by analyses of waste and the historical data for the landfills. The value of k was estimated by field experiments and then the changes in the methane generation rate were predicted through the year 2050, based on the value of k. The Y landfill site, which was in operation until the year 2008, will generate a total of 17, 198.7 tons by the end of 2018, according to our estimations. At the C landfill site, which will not be closed until the end of 2011, the amount of methane gas generated in 2011 will be 3,316 tons and the total amount of gas generated by 2029 will be 61,200 tons. The total production rate of methane gas at the C landfill is higher than that of the Y landfill. This indicates that the capacity of a landfill site affects the production rate of methane gas. However, the interrelation between the generation rate of methane and the value of k is weak. In addition, the generation of methane gas does not cease even when the operations at a landfill site come to a close and the methane gas production rate is at its highest at end of the operating life of a landfill site.

폐기물 매립지를 건설부지로 활용하기 위해서는 환경과 지반공학적 측면에 대하여 종합적인 검토가 이루어져야 한다. 환경적인 측면에서는 반드시 매립폐기물 특성에 따른 매립가스의 관리방안과 침출수에 대한 대책이 이루어져야 하며, 지반공학적 측면에서는 양호한 구조물 기초지반을 조성하기 위한 적용 가능한 공법의 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 대상부지를 대규모 폐기물 매립지반인 $\bigcirc$$\bigcirc$$\bigcirc$ 매립지반으로 선정하여 환경적인 측면에서는 폐기물 특성 조사를 실시하여 매립가스 발생량 측정에 따른 매립가스 관리방안수립 및 매립가스 이용에 따른 경제성을 검토하였으며, 지반공학적 측면의 검토를 위하여 국.내외의 폐기물 매립지반을 건설부지로서 활용한 사례조사를 실시하였으며 폐기물 매립지반에 적용 가능한 공법(동다짐 공법, PG pile공법)에 대하여 현장 시험시공을 실시하여 개량특성을 파악하였다. 연구결과 매립가스의 자원화 및 안정화후의 토지이용에 따른 경제적 수익성을 파악할 수 있었으며, 폐기 물 매립지반에서의 보강공법으로서 개량 필요 심도가 비교적 얕은 경우에는 동다짐 공법이, 심도가 깊은 경우에는 PG pile공법이 개량특성이 양호한 것을 파악할 수 있었다.
