; ; ;
As background for a study to develop an integrated system for the pollution-free utilization of the municipal refuse generated by New York City with optimum recovery of energy and useful products, four position papers have been prepared to assess advanced technology applicable to solid waste management. Topics examined are thermal oxidation processes, biojchemical conversion processes, refuse collection technology, and reclamation and recycling. This report includes these papers, focusing on the most promising alternatives in each category and placing emphasis on comparative economics and technical practicality. The various processes and technologies of each paper are described in considerable detail.
