On the Farmer′s Adoption-willingness for Manure Disposal Technology Under Mass Breeding:Based on the Survey Data of Dairy Farms in Three Cities of Anhui Province
Journal of Nanjing Agricultural University, 2013Co-Authors: Ke MufeiAbstract:Farm manure has become one of the major forms of non-point source pollution in rural China.With Logistic Binary Choice Model,this paper analyzed the influencing factors on farmers′ adoption-willingness for Disposal Technology for dairy manure based on the 71 pieces of data from dairy farms in the three cities:Hefei,Bengbu and Huainan.The results indicated that the variables such as education level,household income,industrial organization level,dairy farming acreage per unit,the comprehensive utilization of manure and the separation of manure processing have positive effect on farmers′ adoption-willingness of Disposal Technology for dairy manure and that,on the contrary,age is negatively correlated with it.

Fuzzy multi-criteria decision analysis for environmentally conscious solid waste treatment and Disposal Technology selection
Technology in Society, 2019Co-Authors: Manoj Govind Kharat, Rakesh D. Raut, Sachin S. Kamble, Sheetal Jaisingh Kamble, Shankar Murthy, Mukesh Govind KharatAbstract:Abstract Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is a major challenge for developing countries due to an enormous and rapid increase in waste generation rates, environmental issues and financial constraints for proper management. Poorly managed municipal solid waste (MSW) causes severe detrimental consequences to society like financial and aesthetic degradation, contamination of natural resources, environmental pollution and is a serious health hazard. The selection of appropriate MSW treatment and Disposal Technology is a multi-criteria decision-making process. This paper presents an evaluation method that can aid decision-makers to prioritise and select appropriate MSW treatment and Disposal methods even under uncertain conditions. It adopts a systematic three-stage evaluation method. The first stage utilizes the Fuzzy Delphi method to obtain the critical factors for the evaluation of Technology alternatives. In the second stage, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is applied to obtain the weights and importance degree of each criterion as the measurable indices of the technologies by fuzzy pairwise comparison matrices. Finally, the Fuzzy TOPSIS technique is used for the selection of appropriate treatment and Disposal Technology alternative. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated with an illustrative example and the results are analyzed. The fuzzy multiple-criteria approach applied in the study accommodates both quantitative and qualitative data, and thus, makes the uncertain decision-making process more objective and analytical. The study highlights the importance of ‘‘appropriate scale” and how the priority order of technologies changes under various domains of experts. The results reveal that the developed model can successfully help the decision-makers to determine the priority sequence of the MSW treatment and Disposal scenarios taking into account the interest of relevant stakeholders. In view of the real-world scenario, it is proven to be efficient, practical, and case-independent for effectively managing MSW and supporting the existing MSWM systems in both developed and developing countries.

The application of Delphi and AHP method in environmentally conscious solid waste treatment and Disposal Technology selection
Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal, 2016Co-Authors: Manoj Govind Kharat, Rakesh D. Raut, Sachin S. Kamble, Sheetal Jaisingh KambleAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe an application of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique for the selection of waste treatment and Disposal Technology for municipal solid waste (MSW). Design/methodology/approach – The proposed approach is based on the integration of Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques. A model has been proposed to evaluate the best treatment and Disposal Technology. Expert opinions have been incorporated in the selection of criteria. AHP has been used to determine the weights of criteria, followed by ranking of the available technologies. Findings – Delphi method was used to derive appropriate evaluation criteria to assess the potential alternative technologies. A set of identified holistic criteria was used, representing the environmental, social, and economic aspects, as compared to the sub-criteria concept generally found in existing literature. Quantitative weightings from the AHP model were calculated to identify the priorities of alterna...

chemical speciation mobility and phyto accessibility of heavy metals in fly ash and slag from combustion of pelletized municipal sewage sludge
Science of The Total Environment, 2015Co-Authors: Zhihua Xiao, Xingzhong Yuan, Longbo Jiang, Lijian Leng, Guangming Zeng, Hui Li, Xiaohong Chen, Fei LiAbstract:Combustion of pelletized municipal sewage sludge (MSS) can generate pestilent byproducts: fly ash and slag. Comparisons of heavy metal sequential extraction results among MSS, fly ash and slag showed that after combustion, the bioavailable heavy metal fractions (acid soluble/exchangeable, reducible and oxidizable fractions) were mostly transformed into the very stable heavy metal fractions (residual fractions). On the other hand, the results of toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid and HCl extraction (phyto-accessibility assessment) demonstrated that the mobility and toxicity of heavy metals were greatly reduced. The direct and long-term bioavailability and eco-toxicity of heavy metals in fly ash and slag were relieved, which implied that combustion of pelletized MSS could be a promising and completely safe Disposal Technology for MSS treatment.
