Solid waste is one of the newest fields to achieve recognition as a
sub-discipline in environmental engineering. As such, one is
hard-pressed to find thorough coverage of related topics in
academic curricula. Many graduate programs in environmental
engineering have one introductory course in waste control. A
handful of texts, some excellent, exist to serve this need. Recent
purported crises in solid waste management have forced the
understanding that something beyond the traditional control methods
may be appropriate. Resource recovery is the correct nomenclature
for the longest standing alternative approach seeking to extract
materials from the waste stream for eventual re-use in one or
another beneficial fashion. Several books have evolved, covering
various approaches. Design approaches therein have borrowed heavily
from other disciplines, ceasing where solid waste differs from the
feeds to be processed. These books were oriented towards
knowledgeable practitioners. This work attempts to present waste
processing as a study in unit operations appropriate to university
study at the graduate level. The study of unit operations is
typical in environmental engineering. These unit operations are
different. A variety of student backgrounds are suitable. However,
a familiarity with the basics of waste control, such as would be
gained from one of the introductory courses mentioned above, is
assumed, as is a sound quantitative background. It is hoped that
this work fills an empty niche. Contents 1 Waste as a Resource . .
