Waste Management & Research: SAGE Journals
About this journal. Waste Management & Research (WM&R) publishes peer-reviewed articles relating to both the theory and practice of waste management and research. Published on behalf of the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) topics include: wastes (focus on solids), processes and technologies, management systems and tools, and policy and regulatory frameworks, sustainable waste
The U.S. places approximately 53% of its total municipal solid waste (MSW) in landfills, but state and local governments across the country are now setting ambitious environmental and waste diversion policies requiring, among other things, diversion and utilization of organics. Municipalities across the U.S. are employing anaerobic digestion (AD) as part of their strategy to divert organic MSW
CHAPTER 4 BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF SOLID WASTE
Chapter 4: Biological Treatment of Solid Waste . 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories 4.5 . Step 1: Collect data on the amount and type of solid waste which is treated biologically. Data on composting and anaerobic treatment should be collected separately, where possible. Regional default data on
organic compounds (NMVOCs) from waste and end-of-life issues associated with fluorinated gases. The mitigation of GHG emissions from waste must be addressed in the context of integrated waste management. Most technologies for waste management are mature and have been successfully implemented for decades in many countries.
Microwave as an emerging technology for the treatment
Microwave is an emerging technology to treat biohazardous waste, including material from healthcare facilities. A screen of the peer-reviewed literature shows that only limited information may be found in this area of work and, furthermore, analysis of the references reveals that sometimes not all necessary aspects for the appropriate use of the technology are considered.

Solid Waste Management Practices in the Informal Sector
This paper contributes to the debate on the role of the informal sector in solid waste management by examining the effectiveness of informal sector solid waste management practices in transforming waste into nonwaste in the city of Gweru in Zimbabwe. The study focused on 589 informal enterprises that were surveys using questionnaire interviews and focus group discussions with key informants.
Human hair is considered a waste material in most parts of the world and its accumulation in waste streams causes many environmental problems; however, it has many known uses. Preventing waste of such a material requires both addressing the problems in the current usage and developing its utilization systems at locations where they are missing.

Utilization of byproducts and waste materials from meat
Treatment using commercial ferric sulfate as coagulant for this specific wastewater gave high organic matter removals, decreasing considerably the amount of waste material to be treated in biological systems, and also allowing the obtention of 0.83–0.87 kg of biomass fuel for each m 3 of treated wastewater (De Sena et al. 2008). Due to

- What is organic polymer flocculant cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?
- The organic polymer flocculant cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) has the characteristics of a low additive amount, good turbidity removal and water purification effect, and high COD removal efficiency, and it has become the most commonly used polymer flocculant in the oilfield wastewater treatment process [ 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ].
- What is cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?
- J. Pharm. Biopharm.54 (2002) 41–50. 10.1016/S0939-6411 (02)00036-X Search in Google Scholar Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) was prepared in aqueous solution by free radical polymerization of methacryloyloxy ethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) and acrylamide (AM). A redox initiator system was used.
- Why are cationic surfactants used in polyacrylamide adsorption?
- This is due to the addition of cationic surfactants in the suspension, as cationic surfactants can assist the polyacrylamide adsorption of suspended particles in wastewater through electrostatic action, whereby the more negatively charged suspended particles are in wastewater, the more pronounced is this auxiliary flocculation effect [ 36 ].
- Is CPAM a cationic microblock?
- It has been shown that the flocculation performance of CPAM is related to the distribution and sequencing of cationic units in the molecular chain (Feng et al. 2018b). The continuous arrangement of cationic units in CPAM can form cationic microblock structure.
