EV 732 - Solid Waste Engineering and Management

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
Integrated solid waste management systems of the 21st century must address a number of interrelated issues, including source reduction, recycling and reuse, waste collection and transportation, and the disposal of wastes not otherwise recycled or reused. The issue of source reduction of both solid and hazardous wastes is addressed in EV 730 . In this course, the student will learn to design systems for the collection, transport, storage, and disposal of solid wastes with a focus on municipal solid waste (MSW). Specific topics to be addressed include methods of waste characterization, collection systems design, and the design of landfills and emerging thermal processing systems. Offered Spring-O term.
