Solid wastes research.

Abstract This paper reviewed and analyzed results of recent research activities pertaining to characterization, treatment, and disposal methods of solid wastes. Although landfill gas emissions, liner materials minimizing pollutants emissions, leachate characterization, and treatment are actively studied, only few have studied the quantity, compositions, physicochemical and biological characteristics of landfilled solid wastes. Science and engineering of composting for solid wastes are under intense investigation by many researchers with generally two objectives: a) to convert biodegradable solid wastes into valuable, nutrient‐rich composts for various end‐use applications or b) to remediate soils or wastes contaminated with hazardous organic contaminants by composting (remediation composting). While the first has been already used in many areas at field scales to minimize solid waste problems, the latter is still in research stage. Once the remediation composting is proven for its efficacy, it will provid...
