Thermal Solid Waste Utilisation in Regular and Industrial Facilities, Vol. 58 Book

Proceedings of the International Workshop, Thermal Solid Waste Utilization in Regular and Industrial Facilities, held in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, November 28-30, 1999.
In recent years, industrial and urban growth has resulted in growing volumes of nondegradable wastes, and this volume focuses on the technologies related to recycling and material reuse which are now being favoured over land disposal. There is an overview on waste utilisation in industrial facilities, particularly cement kilns, from an ecological as well as technological aspect, and some innovative solutions of pyrolitic and plasma reactors, used for hazardous wastes combustion.

The thermal utilization of solid waste, actually is the matter under discussion: burning industrial and urban waste that cannot be degraded or recycled. In 15 papers from a November 1999 international conference in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, mostly Polish scientists consider ecological and technical aspects of putting the heat from such combustion to some use. In particular they look at burning paper and plastic in kilns to make cement. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
