Solid and hazardous waste management: science and engineering

A rapid increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste from economic growth, urbanization and industrialization has challenged national and local governments to ensure effective and sustainable management of waste. Solid and Hazardous Waste Management offers universal coverage of the technologies used for the management and the deposal of waste such as plastic waste, bio-medical wastes, hazardous wastes and e-wastes.

• Covers the both traditional and new technologies for Identifying and categorizing the source and nature of the waste.
• Methods for the safe disposal of municipal solid wastes, plastic waste, bio-medical wastes, hazardous wastes and e-wastes.
• Technologies for the transportation and processing (including resource recovery) of the waste.
• Reclamation, Reuse and Recovery of Energy from MSW
