Is garbage thrown out by us automatically, almost unrealized, and the more so the few reflects, and where, actually, all of it is driven away by giant machine for transportation of garbage y, where does unload, and that takes a place then? And meantime, whole industry works on his processing, scientific researches are conducted, dissertations are written and scientific conferences are conducted. Conception of «zero offcuts» realizes slowly, but truly.
Burying, incineration, the repeated use
In the whole world, besides different illegal operations, exists three basic methods of processing of garbage is the controlled burying (landfiling), incineration in stoves - inseniratorakh for the receipt of energy (waste-to-energy), and the repeated use (recycling). The burial place of garbage to date is acknowledged by the most dangerous and harmful for an environment method: giant trash dumps are selected by the tons of methane, karbon of dioxide and other toxic matters, littering soil, underwaters and instrumental in destruction of ozone layer. And although a modern equipment allows to catch part of this gas and use him as a fuel, basic world tendency - on reduction of amount of burial places and development of high-tech of processing and repeated use of materials.
Incineration of city garbage causes an ambiguous polemic in the whole world and strong counteraction of ecological organizations. Inseneratory is dear, does not decide the problem of contamination of environment, secreting toxic matters in an atmosphere, and destroy resources in which human labour was once inlaid already. Certainly, garbage is burned in an order to decrease his amount and not bury all of volume in earth. But it however only the intermediate stage on a way to to the complete processing and transformation of garbage from «offcuts» in raw material or prepared market product.
To date in the world America leads on the amount of city offcuts. From data of US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for 2007, every American threw out more than 2 kilogram of garbage in a day, that made 254 million t/ies. It there is more average European approximately in two times. Greater part of this garbage, about 55%, still buries oneself in earth, 12% burned in inseneratorakh and only 33% utillized repeatedly. For comparison, the leader of industry of processing, Germany, utillizes the 70% offcuts repeatedly.
Partly such matter-position is related to that in America, as well as in Russia, a lot of free earth, and till recently the problem of garbage flustered nobody - he was simply buried. However, since 70th 20 ages, a public concern increases by the state of environment, a number of ecological motions, and words, appears as though «reduce, reuse, recycle» (reduce, utillize repeatedly, process) become the mantra of spinuping «green» motion. Result present: the amount of the processed and anew utillized materials in a country grew from 10% in 1980 to 33.4% in 2007. Numbers these are enough strongly varied on the states and depend on the closeness of population, from activity of guidance in advancement of new technologies, presence of finances and involved of population in the process of sorting of own garbage. An original fashionist and leader in the field of division of garbage is San Francisco - all of 68% city offcuts are processed and goes to the repeated use.
Organic garbage - almost third of all of offcuts
Garbage of organogenic is a main source of methane, destructive for an ozone layer -, makes, however, considerable part of city, production and especially agrowastes in a country. For example, the only mowed grass from pridomovykh areas and food offcuts make a fourth from the general volume of garbage, and packing cardboard and office paper - whole 34%.
In America, as well as in Europe, there is a number of legislative limits on burying of organiki. However soon will not bury garbage needs. At the correct going near business, organic garbage becomes a rich in oligoelementss fertilizer, alternative energy source, or build material.
Punching and anaerobic processing
Basic approach two is punching with access of oxygen, and anaerobic processing (without access of oxygen). Both methods exist in nature and utillized a timber-toe old times, but modern technologies allow to conduct these processes quick and in generous, «industrial» amounts.
The choice of one or another method depends on composition of the processed mass. For example, palaya foliage, food offcuts, the «green» offcuts of agriculture punch successfully, and sewages and dung from stock-raising farms expose to the anaerobic processing, catching appearing in the process of fermentation gas which serves as after a «green» energy source.
Punching of offcuts: enzymes co-star
If in natural terms a palaya foliage and arboreal crow-bar rot through for 3-7 years, on an industrial ticket-punch a process lasts from 2 to 10 weeks. At very large volumes - to semiyear. Biological mass preliminary clears up from foreign admixtures, ground down, and placed in the giant revolved drums on 24 hours for interfusion. Then this mass, already beginning to rot through, is laid in large compost ridges and saturated with the so-called «compost tea» - solution with rich maintenance of bacteria, necessary for creation of humus. Further a compost is repeatedly inverted and additionally irrigated water for the signup of bacteria and acceleration of process of biotdisintegration. Selected in the process of a heat sterilizes biomassu, killing all of possible pathogenic microbes. The compost of high quality got on an output is for a sale farmers, municipal workers engage in planting trees and shrubs and private individuals for the use on pridomovykh areas, and the liquid selected in the process of punching is a rich in oligoelementss fertilizer and is for a sale also (replacing more dear chemical fertilizers).
Greatest in the world ticket-punch
the greatest enterprise of similar specialization in North America, and possibly and in the world, is in Canadian Albert, in town Edmonton. Here apply the technique of the mixed punching - city offcuts are mixed up with the dry matter of sewages, and punch in the giant closed pavilion which is simultaneously the greatest are 14 hockey fields - building from stainless steel in the world. Such scales allow to process all of 60% biotoffcuts of Edmontona, make to 80 000 tons of compost in a year, and also to attract tourists and being curious from around the world.
Anaerobic processing of offcuts: hot details
the Controlled anaerobic processing of organic material takes a place in large reservoirs, and is a biochemical process in which a few types of bacteria co-operate and slit the organic matter of offcuts on oligoelementss and biogas. For the increase of activity of bacteria into a reservoir a high temperature is supported - to 70s, and what it is higher, the quick there is a process of disintegration. The gas got as a result of activity of bacteria in practice is mixture of gases most valuable from which is methane - makes from 55% to 80%, and utillized for creation of biopropellant and electric power. For example, the ton of food offcuts, processed thus, selects the amount of energy, sufficient for a supply and heating 10 houses during 24 hours.
Till recently, there was not a single enterprise of the anaerobic processing of city garbage in the United States. Their bulk is set on meat and milk farms, small on volume and serves for processing of animal dung, allowing to be delivered from an unpleasant smell. For the last 5-7 years, ecological and economic potential of this method was appraised in Europe and North America. In the world, where raw material unchanging rises in a price and closed extraordinary rates, the task of effective extraction and use of alternative energy becomes more vital. In this sense, the anaerobic processing is technology of the future and already today comes into all greater notice of investors. This technically-difficult and not cheapest method allows, nevertheless, to process yesterday's offcuts in the today's claimed and useful product (and even row of products), not inflicting a considerable damage an environment.
A resume
In basis of both technologies lies idea of imitation of natural processes, and this idea today actively scientists, researchers, environmentalists, support both in the USA and in the whole world. There is not a concept «garbage» in nature, they underline, offcuts of one organism are food to other. Conception of «zero offcuts» - production, consumption and second production - gradually included in everyday life of people and compels, throwing out something, to be more responsible. Today, in many countries the question of processing of one or another product is mortgaged in his design and choice of materials, and the habitants of large cities assort bottles, cleanings, and newspapers diligently.
Certainly, to the ideal yet far. But the economy of industry of processing changes gradually; new technologies in combination with efforts of environmentalists, political legislators, large businesses and ordinary citizens allow to hope on that we will come to quite another culture of consumption, to not such barbarian and selfish. Taking away so many at nature, something is necessary to give it, and then a process will be mutually harmonious.

...By itself, the hotbed effect is vital for humans, animals and plants. Without it the Earth would become a long icy wilderness - with an average temperature of -18 ° C. Another question - the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere. All the last millennium, it remained relatively constant - evidenced by the samples taken in the eternal ice of Greenland. However, to date, the proportion of CO2 has increased significantly - today is already more than 380 ppm. Total half-century ago it was 315 ppm ...
The fact that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is growing rapidly, even the opponents do not deny the theory of the hotbed effect. They just do not agree with the fact that this led to a rise in average temperature on the planet. The main argument of sceptics is that: some increase in global temperature took place and in first half of XX-th century – before the mankind has started to throw out in atmosphere unknown until then quantities of carbonic gas. The reason for the then warming, in their view, fluctuations in the intensity of solar activity.
However, meteorologists have long taken into account natural changes in solar radiation. Computer models of a climate show: a rise in temperature primary factor – increase in volumes of carbonic gas in atmosphere.
Analysis of the huge number of local measurements of climatic parameters over the past 100 years, also spoke in favor of the connection between the amount of CO2 in the air and warming. Average temperature of our planet during this period increased by 0,8 ° C - up to 14,5 ° C.
For a long time, the heating effect is restrained. Industrial emissions contain not only CO2, but also large amounts of sulfate - sulfur compounds. Getting in the atmosphere, they are transformed into sulfate aerosol particles that reflect sunlight and thus prevent heat the earth's surface. Since the late 1970's Western industrialized countries have reduced emissions to the atmosphere of sulfur compounds, but in Asia, this figure has grown. Therefore, until the end of the last millennium - the average concentration of sulfate remained more or less constant - while the amount of CO2 in the air, an annual increase of 1,5 ppm.
Pace of these changes is that the hotbed effect threatens to spiral out of control. If during the twentieth century, global temperatures have risen by 0,8 ° C, some of them 0,6 ° C occurred in the past 30 years.
Already there is no doubt that the earth is warming, and we are dealing with a stable trend. By the end of the XXI century the global average temperature will increase by 2-4,5 ° C (exactly how much depends on the emissions of CO2). This is the forecast of IPCC - the UN International Commission on climate.
The increase in global temperature is most noticeable in the areas covered by eternal ice. Compared with the beginning of the twentieth century alpine alpine glaciers declined by almost half. In Greenland, continental ice is melting three times faster than even at the turn of the last and this century: from April of 2002, about 240 cubic kilometers of ice per year forever transformed into the water, steadily raising the level of the oceans.
Decreases and the zone of permafrost in Siberia, Canada and Alaska. It was there lie huge reservoirs of methane. This gas deep beneath the earth formed a connection to the water - methanehydrates, methane ice. Further warming threatens to melt and release into the atmosphere incredible amount of methane. As the hotbed gas methane, by the way, is 20 times more effective than CO2…
Life in a hotbed
If you like to search guilty can consider as them British. This is because they have in the middle of the XVIII century began the industrial revolution. A hundred years later it had already covered the whole of Western Europe, North America and spread to Japan. Factories tirelessly knocked weaving machines, blast furnaces belched streams of metal, panting steam locomotives, dragging cars with people and cargo, and plied the seas are not romantic sailing, and smoking steamers.
All the necessary things have begun to make a man machine. Muscular power of humans and animals was not enough - and the energy of the machines in motion, began to take from the Earth. First, burning wood and coal, and then switched to oil and gas. To be at the dawn of the industrial revolution occurred to me that using such combustible material, the man released the genie from the bottle? Now, at the beginning of the XXI century, the genie called carbon dioxide - CO2 - threatens global changes in living conditions.
In 1824 the French mathematician Jean-Batiste Fourier realized that the atmosphere holds heat radiation of the Earth. Scientists compared the effect with the effect of the glass walls of a hotbed.
At the end of XIX century swede Svante Arrhenius discovered that this effect is due to the presence of certain gases in the atmosphere - including carbon dioxide. Arrhenius calculated that if the content of CO2 in the atmosphere doubled, it would increase the temperature by 4-6 ° C.
At first it all seemed pure theory, mind games, because emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were relatively small. They began to grow promptly since second half XX century.
This was first proved the American climate scientist Charles David Keeling. In 1957, he found that the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere was 315 ppm (parts per million, ie one million liters of air containing 315 liters of carbon dioxide), whereas in the XIX century the figure was 280 ppm. It turned out that about a hundred years of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 12%.
Measurements Keeling showed: in the era of industrialization, the active concentration of CO2 has risen steadily at 1,5 ppm per year. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere as a product of burning oil, gas and coal. Human activities have changed the composition of the atmosphere.
With the increase of CO2 content increases the so-called greenhouse effect. Its mechanism is known to any owner of a greenhouse: the sun's rays, penetrating through the glass windows, heated soil. It gives the heat back into the air. However, the glass "Conserve" is radiation - it remains in a greenhouse in the form of heat.
That's the carbon dioxide of almost seamlessly transmits visible sunlight (resulting in heated land and water) - but it absorbs some of the incoming heat radiation from the earth rather than letting it dissipate into space. Then CO2 molecules transmit absorbed energy to neighboring molecules and thus heat the surrounding air. That carbon dioxide - and even some gases - like the panes of a hotbed does not give the planet to cool…

Wrath of Pele
The Hawaiian volcano of Kilauea is thrown up since 1983, and the end to it it is not visible. During the 23 years lava flowing into the Pacific Ocean, has created more than 200 hectares of new land. However, the land existing spoiled with a lot more - 10 hectares. The now impassable roads, burned forests, homes, "put" in the frozen lava - all the tricks of fire-breathing mountains. In 1990, its eruption completely destroyed the two cities - Kalapalo and Qaim.
Kilauea is considered one of the most active - if not the most active - the modern volcano. The caldera at its summit - a pro-fall about 6 km in diameter and 165 m depth. "If at the bottom of it placed the entire Russian army, which - once joked Mark Twain, who visited the Kilauea - and it would still have plenty of free space!" This caldera was active about a half a century - until 1954, now lava erupts from a small vents Puu Oo in the eastern part of the mountain.
Sometimes Kilauea exploded as it was in 1924 or in 1959, when the fountain of hot substances beat up a few hundred meters. These days, the eruption can be considered "low-intensity" - the magma reaches the surface with little bursts, and the people can always "miss each other" with slowly approaching lava flows.
Hawaiian archipelago - is a long chain of volcanoes, mostly long extinct. Volcanic activity in full swing only on the island of Hawaii - the largest and the youngest. The whole island is a five coalesced volcanoes. The highest of them - Mauna Kea - rises above sea level at 4205 m. It is considered extinct, but apparently erupted by geological standards recently - about 4 thousand years ago. And judging by the variations in the earth's crust, is still able to wake up.
Two active volcanoes of Hawaii - Kilauea and Mauna Loa. The height of the last - about 9 thousand meters (if to consider from the bottom hidden under water). And Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea would be higher Chomolungma if stood on dry land. But above the water surface of Mauna Loa appears only at 4170 meters. However, the volcano grows slowly, as regularly erupts. During the eruption, which lasted for most of 1859, a powerful stream of lava was 50 km over land (which way he went on the bottom of the sea - unknown). But most of all, as expected, Mauna Loa has erupted in 1950 - then he threw from the bowels of the Earth 450 million cubic meters of substance!
In 1984 Mauna Loa silent. But since July 2004 seismologists Hawaiian volcano-logical Observatory again register earthquakes. This may presage a new eruption.
There are other signs of impending disaster. For example, some eruptions in Hawaii, was preceded by a low rumble, whose nature is still unclear. Locals call it the "voice of Pele" - Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. In honor of the fearsome goddess named in Hawaii and some volcanic formations. Say, "tears of Pele" - is a spray of frozen lava, save the form of droplets, and "hair Pele" - streams of volcanic glass obsidian, which are formed when lava cools rapidly entering the ocean. Now the goddess, of course, lives on Kilauea volcano - probably because he is erupts, without ceasing. In comparison with the Mauna Loa it is a baby - only 1,247 m in height. However, as the look. To the same Mark Twain even Vesuvius seemed "puppet volcano" and "saucepan" compared with Kilauea.
Get to know the turbulent history of the Hawaiian archipelago, which numbers 70 million years, it is possible to Volcanoes National Park. It was created in 1916 on the slopes of Kilauea and Mauna Loa. The park occupies nearly 135 hectares. Calderas, craters, stunning landscapes with streams of lava of volcanic ash and the masses - all this attracts many tourists.
