Abstract

This study investigates eggshell waste generation and management practices in Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria. Data were collected from various wards to determine the eggshell generation rate and examine waste management practices. Results show a high eggshell waste generation rate, particularly in urban wards with dense food vendor populations. The annual eggshell waste generation rate in Kaduna Metropolis was found to be 32,667.08 kg. Majority of eggshell waste generated end up in open dumpsite (85.4%) which reflects a poor eggshell waste management practice, the waste management practice in Kaduna metropolis is generally not satisfactory due to lack of consistency and poor awareness of its negative impact, as well inadequate waste collection and transportation. Most waste is disposed of in open dumpsites, indicating poor waste management practices. Lack of awareness and poor literacy levels contribute to ineffective waste management. Increased awareness and exploitation of the energy potentials of eggshell waste is needed to encourage better eggshell waste management.
尼日利亚卡杜纳市蛋壳垃圾的产生和管理方法
本研究调查了尼日利亚卡杜纳市蛋壳垃圾的产生和管理方法。研究人员从各区收集数据,以确定蛋壳的产生率并考察废物管理方法。结果表明,蛋壳垃圾产生率很高,尤其是在食品摊贩密集的城区。卡杜纳市的蛋壳垃圾年产生量为 32,667.08 公斤。由于缺乏一致性、对其负面影响认识不足以及废物收集和运输不足,卡杜纳市的废物管理做法总体上不尽人意。大多数废物都被丢弃在露天垃圾场,这表明废物管理做法不佳。缺乏意识和文化水平低下导致废物管理效率低下。需要提高对蛋壳废物能源潜力的认识和开发,以鼓励更好地管理蛋壳废物。
