✦ Synopsis

This book is a technical review and reference work for plant managers, municipal authorities, pollution control officers and engineers. It explains the philosophy of waste minimization and the resulting economies in raw material and disposal costs; it reviews the technical options for waste reduction; it describes industrial systems, providing process diagrams and discusses the management of municipal wastes, including recycling options. The book offers practical advice on how to prevent the generation of waste at source. The techniques described complement the treatment and disposal technologies reviewed in ''Waste Incineration Handbook'' and ''Hazardous Waste Treatment on Site and in Situ''
