Among the topics discussed are the opportunities and problems of energy recovery from solid wastes, an approach to burning refuse as a powerplant fuel, a technical evaluation of modular incinerators with heat recovery, the incineration of hazardous organic wastes, resource recovery through composting, the performance and testing of a ferrous metals recovery system, and the production of paper pulps from municipal solid waste. Also considered are a comprehensive municipal refuse characterization program, life cycle costing for resource recovery facilities, the prediction and testing of incinerator and boiler efficiency, the performance of zig zag classifiers at low particle concentrations, the biogasification of municipal solid wastes, and operations reports from municipal resource recovery programs. Attention is in addition given such pollution control issues as dry system and waterborne emission control technologies.
