Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

The basic aim of this course is to manage society’s waste in a manner that meets public health and environmental concerns and the public’s desire to reuse and recycle waste materials. The need for a course that puts the engineering and scientific details of Integrated Solid Waste Management into the framework of resource management has grown significantly in recent years. This course is a response to that need. Both the student and the practitioner will find in this book the engineering principles, the data, the engineering and scientific formulas, and examples of the day-to day issues associated with the municipal solid waste.

Course Content:

Engineering design and operational aspects of waste management. Waste collection, storage, transfer, processing. Composting of organic waste, treatment and disposal, integrated waste management, solid waste characterization and classification. Concepts of reduction, reuse and recycling. Resource recovery and utilization, life cycle assessment of waste, physical and chemical treatment methods and composting. Landfill design and operation including: site selection.
