Description
Covering mechanical processing of solid waste, this books moves beyond a basic understanding of waste control to encompass waste processing as an industry expected to take its place alongside existing industrial raw materials suppliers. The author begins by describing the industry as it should develop, then presents an advanced discussion of waste analysis. The focus is on understanding principles of operation, from combustion and degradation through a series of unit operations used in the mechanical processing of waste. The reader is not only given the tools to understand current design, but also the perspective needed to advance that design.
