Description
Waste management is one of the key issues of modern society and requires constant advancement in the adopted practices and technologies in order to keep up with the new industrial technologies and commodities introduced to the market every year, which can have varying impacts on the environment. This book bring together papers from the Third International Conference on Waste Management and the Environment, and will be of interest to environmental engineers, local authority representatives, waste disposal experts, research scientists in the area of waste management, civil engineers and chemical engineers.The proceedings of the conference address a wide range of the current waste management issues, which are conveniently arranged into the following sessions: Advanced waste treatment technology; Air pollution control; Biological treatment of waste; Clean technologies; Community involvement and education; Construction and demolition waste; Costs and benefits of waste management options; Hazardous waste, disposal and incineration; Landfills, design, construction and monitoring; Methodologies and practices; Resources recovery; Soil and groundwater cleanup; Waste incineration and gasification; Waste management, strategies and planning; Waste pre-treatment, separation and transformation; Waste reduction and recycling; and, Water and wastewater treatment.
