Vol 5: Solid Waste Gestion
Description
Waste is any unwanted material intentionally thrown away pour disposal. Le domestic waste is unwanted material generated by normal household activities including, but not limited to, food wastes, food packaging, glass bottles, plastics, clothing, newspapers et magazines; while le industrial waste is a type de waste produced by industrial factories, mills et mines. Another type de waste is called electronic waste or e-waste consisting de electronic products that were used pour data processing, telecommunications, or entertainment en private households et businesses that are now considered obsolete, broken, or irreparable. Electronic waste includes computers, entertainment electronics, mobile phones et other items that have been discarded by their original users. With rapid urbanization et uncontrolled growth de population, solid waste generation et management has become a major social et environmental issue pour every country. Though municipal bodies provide solid waste management services, but are given low priority due to lack de financial resources, institutional weaknesses, improper choice de technology et public apathy towards municipal solid waste. Le current practices de uncontrolled dumping de waste sur le outskirts de towns et cities have created serious environmental et public health issues. This volume presents a fine collection de articles sur municipal solid waste collection, disposal et management, energy generation by different methods et lot more. Le topics covered en this volume include: • Solid wastes • Municipal solid waste • Methodological contributions et some empirical evidence sur municipal solid waste • Municipal solid waste management et disposal • Sources, uses, pathways, toxicity et remediation de mercury • E-scrap mining trajectories pour development en Ghana • Battery waste management • Biofuel et bioproducts generation from oil palm biomass • Sewage sludge disposal/reuse et its environmental impact • Énergie from municipal solid waste • Pyrolysis pour thermal treatment de waste et contaminated soil • Efficiency, reliability et safety aspects de biogas production, purification et utilization • Nouveau findings sur biodrying kinetics de sewage sludge • Cost effective production de bioplastic (PHAs) from agricultural et industrial waste • Rare earth elements en coals et barren rocks en upper Silesian coal basin • Economic techniques pour management de radioactive wastes • Solid waste management challenges en developing countries Le present volume contains 17 articles from 34 researchers and/or academicians representing 12 nations, namely Chile, Egypt, Ghana, Inde, Italy, Malaysia, Nigeria, Poland, Romania, South Korea, Spain et United States de America giving an overview de le various research activities being carried out en different parts de le world en le field de Solid Waste Gestion.
