| 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. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Describe the solid waste management term applied to all of the activities associated with the management of society’s waste. 2. Classify sources, types, and composition of Municipial Solid Waste (MSW). 3. Differentiate physical, chemical and biological properties of MSW. 4. Relate sources, types and composition of Hazardous Solid Wastes found in MSW. 5. Interpret waste handling, seperation, storage, and processing at source. 6. Categorize waste taransfer and transport. 7. Investigate disposal of solid wastes and residual matter. 8. Criticize solid waste conversion technologies. 9. Investigate the other topics including medical wastes, transfer optimisation, etc. |
