IGNOU BWA 003 Solid Wastes Processing and Treatment Techniques | Guess Paper | Important Question Answer |Certificate in Solid Wastes Treatment Techniques (CSWATT) University  (Paperback, BMA Publication)

Introduction to Solid Waste Processing and Treatment: Providing an overview of the importance of processing and treating solid waste, including the goals of reducing waste volume, mitigating environmental pollution, and recovering valuable resources. Waste Sorting and Segregation: Discussing the importance of waste sorting and segregation at the source or at waste management facilities to separate recyclable materials, organic waste, hazardous waste, and non-recyclable waste streams. Composting: Exploring composting techniques for organic waste treatment, including aerobic and anaerobic composting methods, and discussing the benefits of composting for soil enrichment, carbon sequestration, and waste diversion. Anaerobic Digestion: Examining anaerobic digestion as a biological treatment process for organic waste, including the production of biogas (methane) for energy generation and digestate for soil amendment, and discussing its applications in waste management. Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Incineration: Discussing WTE incineration as a thermal treatment process for non-recyclable waste, including the combustion of waste to generate heat or electricity, and examining its environmental impacts, energy recovery efficiency, and regulatory considerations. Pyrolysis and Gasification: Exploring pyrolysis and gasification technologies for converting solid waste into syngas, biochar, and other value-added products, and discussing their potential for waste-to-energy conversion and resource recovery. Mechanical-Biological Treatment (MBT): Examining MBT as an integrated waste treatment approach combining mechanical separation and biological treatment processes to recover recyclable materials and stabilize organic waste fractions. Recycling and Material Recovery: Addressing recycling and material recovery techniques for recovering valuable resources from solid waste streams, including mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, and innovative recycling technologies.
