Description

Following on from the successful first edition of Waste Treatment & Disposal, this second edition has been completely updated, and provides comprehensive coverage of waste process engineering and disposal methodologies. Concentrating on the range of technologies available for household and commercial waste, it also presents readers with relevant legislative background material as boxed features.

This second edition arises from the 1998 first edition (published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
1998) which was largely based on the UK. This new book has been substantially revised
and rewritten to cover waste treatment and disposal with particular emphasis on Europe.
Increasingly in Europe the European Commission legislation has had a major influence on
the management of solid waste and hence the need for a European focussed text. The book
is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking courses in Environmental
Science and Environmental, Civil, Chemical and Energy Engineering, with a component
of waste treatment and disposal. It is also aimed at professional people in the waste management
industry.
