Handbook of Solid Waste Management and Waste Minimization Technologie
This volume covers the practices and technologies that are and can be applied to the management and prevention of solid waste. It is the third volume in a series that focuses on approaches to improving environmental performance in a costeffective manner. Earlier volumes in this Butterworth-Heinemann series are the Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies and Handbook of Air Pollution Prevention and Control. In addition, the book Green Profits: The Manager’s Handbook for ISO 14001 and Pollution Prevention establishes much of the foundation for and philosophy behind these volumes. The current volume is intended to provide engineers, environmental managers, and students with a survey of the technologies and strategies for reducing solid waste generation, and in applying resource recovery, and waste-to-energy techniques. Discussions focus on both municipal and industrial solid wastes. The
interdependency of pollution and waste media cannot be readily distinguished, so in many instances relationships between waste management and pollution control and prevention strategies for air and water are included in topical discussions.
