A Textbook of Municipal Solid Waste Analysis
About this ebook
A Textbook of Municipal Solid Waste Analysis covers the analysis techniques, methods, guidelines, standards, and protocols aimed at effective management and reduction of MSW. To facilitate understanding, both theoretical and practical approaches of MSW analysis are extensively covered. Contents are supplemented by questions for the readers to realize better comprehension of each chapter. The book is intended to provide students, teachers, scientists, and field practitioners with comprehensive analysis techniques and strategies for reducing MSW generation, and in applying the concept of resource recovery and waste-to-energy. A Textbook of Municipal Solid Waste Analysis would be a valuable resource not only to academic and industry professionals, engaged in treatment and analysis of MSW but also as a complete, solution-oriented enchiridion to the scientific community.
Key Features:
· A better understanding of MSW analysis will contribute to safe and economical MSW management.
· Exhaustive collection of MSW analysis techniques and help the readers to understand experimental procedures in a concise manner.
· The book addresses various MSW treatment processes involved and the parameters to be considered prior to selecting a particular process.
· A must-have book in the context of both Indian and global conditions for arriving at practical solutions pertaining to MSW analysis and treatment.
· Comprehensive discussion on MSW analysis methods and techniques and thus will serve as a guide and inspiration for future researches into the realm of MSW analysis.
