The chemistry of solid wastes
Abstrak
This chapter discusses the chemistry of solid wastes. It looks at how best to make use of them in creative ways that cause little adverse impact on the natural environment. It looks at the various types of bulk solid wastes and their potential to be useful resources, as well as at the chemical issues related to managing wastes from mining and metal production. It outlines the uses of organic wastes, especially as compost and as an energy source, and the processes that can be used to manage mixed urban wastes and the related environmental considerations. The chapter mentions bulk solid wastes, which are produced as a by-product of the normal and fundamental activities of living. These include food scraps, ash from fires, and excreta from humans and animals. It refers to the circular economy, which turns goods at the end of their service life into resources for others.
