2 Materials and Methods
2.1 Materials
Five-year-old mined MSW reclaimed from the land
ll site in Phuket waste man-
agement center, southern city of Thailand, as shown in Fig.
1
, was used in this
study. After mining, the MSW was solar dried and its physical composition was
investigated by quartering method. Table
3
shows the physical composition of
mined MSW compared to as received MSW at Phuket waste management center.
