Features: Based on the fundamental knowledge of solid waste treatment, disposal, and management, this book also incorporates basic theories, domestic and international engineering examples, and the latest advancements in the field. It primarily introduces the definition, classification, and environmental impacts of solid waste. The sources, characteristics, pollution control approaches, advanced and applicable harmless, reduction, and resource utilization technologies for solid waste treatment and disposal are discussed. The book also addresses issues such as the collection, transportation, transfer, compaction, and pretreatment methods for municipal solid waste and hazardous waste. With examples, it focuses on the resource utilization technologies of municipal solid waste, including the principles and methods of design calculations, such as waste incineration, pyrolysis, and power generation technologies, as well as biological treatment and utilization technologies like high-temperature composting and biogas fermentation. The book also elaborates on the principles, processes, and technologies for the final disposal of solid waste. It covers the treatment and disposal methods, technologies, and management of hazardous waste, medical waste, and low-, medium-, and high-level radioactive waste, along with relevant regulations and standards issued by national authorities. This book can serve as a textbook for environmental engineering and environmental science programs in colleges and universities, and it is also a valuable reference for researchers, technicians, and managers in related fields.
