- MEXICO CITY'S MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPOSITION ANALYSIS Alfonso DURÁN MORENO Manuel GARCÉS RODRÍGUEZ Adriana Rocío VELASCO Juan Carlos MARÍN ENRIQUEZ Rafaela GUTIÉRREZ LARA Abril MORENO GUTIÉRREZ Norma Angélica DELGADILLO HERNÁNDEZ Ciencias de la Tierra composition Energy content volumetric weight ultimate analysis Mexico City generates approximately 12 500 000 kg of municipal solid wastes (MSW) a day. Nowadays, waste management of the refuse material is of high concern since the local landfill has reached its limit capacity and its closure is imminent, thereby alternative disposal methods must be evaluated. The objective of this paper is to analyze the composition of MSW produced in Mexico City through a sampling campaign. In comparison to previous official reports of Mexico City’s MSW characterization, in this study the physical composition analysis has been updated and additionally, chemical and physicochemical analysis are included, such as ultimate composition, energy content and heavy metals content. 2013 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37025634004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.1 Vol.29
