Description

Practical Handbook of Processing and Recycling Municipal Waste provides all of the information necessary for vastly improving the way we recycle materials. It first develops basic engineering and scientific theories related to processing and recycling municipal waste. The authors then show how the behavioral characteristics of waste can actually be predicted with some degree of accuracy, turning waste disposal engineering from a malter of guesswork into a science

Treats waste as a raw material, rather than as a problem

Explains clearly how waste processes work

Emphasizes refuse-derived fuels and composts

Outlines the use of mathematical modeling

Use tables and figures to illustrate points
