Waste Management
INTRODUCTION TO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT:
Classification of solid wastes (source and type based), solid waste management (SWM), elements of SWM,
ESSWM (environmentally sound solid waste management) and EST (environmentally sound technologies),
factors affecting SWM, Indian scenario, progress in MSW (municipal solid waste) management in India, Indian and global scenario of e-waste,
WASTE GENERATION ASPECTS:
Waste stream assessment (WSA), waste generation and composition, waste characteristics (physical and chemical), health and environmental effects (public health and environmental), comparative assessment of waste generation and composition of developing and developed nations, a case study results from an Indian city, handouts on solid waste compositions. E-waste generation.
COLLECTION, STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND DISPOSAL OF WASTES:
Waste Collection, Storage and Transport: Collection components, storage-containers/collection vehicles, collection operation, transfer station, waste collection system design, record keeping, control, inventory and monitoring, implementing collection and transfer system, a case study. Waste Disposal: key issues in waste disposal, disposal options and selection criteria, sanitary landfill, landfill gas emission, leachate formation, environmental effects of landfill, landfill operation issues, a case study.
WASTE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES & SOURCE REDUCTION, PRODUCT RECOVERY & RECYCLING:
Purpose of processing, mechanical volume and size reduction, component separation, drying and dewatering. Source Reduction, Product Recovery and Recycling: basics, purpose, implementation monitoring and evaluation of source reduction, significance of recycling, planning of a recycling programme, recycling programme elements, commonly recycled materials and processes, a case study.
