Description
Solid Waste Management: Foundations, Recycling Pathways, and Sustainable Practices provides an introduction to the six types of waste, including municipal and rural solid waste, construction and demolition waste, hazardous waste, industrial waste, electric and electronic waste, and sewage sludge. These types of waste are discussed, along with treatment and recycling technologies, such as pre-treatment, reuse and recycling, anaerobic digestion, aerobic compositing, incineration for power, pyrolysis, and sanitary landfill. The book focuses on pollution control and resource utilization and describes combining process design principles with application examples to comprehensively describe various methods, principles, processes, new technologies, new methods, and new theories.
- Presents a full description of pollution control and resource recovery
- Provides the state-of-the-art textbook on ecological civilization, sustainable development, and engineering innovation
- Strives to objectively reflect the actual needs of engineering applications so that readers can quickly and comprehensively grasp and apply relevant processing technologies
