Control Measure of urban and industrial solid waste: ‘The current methods of solid waste disposal are 1) Land Filling 2) Incineration 3) Pulverization 4) Composting 5) Pyrolysis 6) Disposal into open sea Inthis, the solid wastes are dumped into low 1's mes and covered by about [Link] of earth thlayeris left out for 7 days and compaction next layer. With passage o bout 20-40% of its original method low 1) Disposal of Solid Waste by Land Fillings- Iying areas. The refuse is dumped upto about so that de refuse rermains covered by earth. Each or to patting 2-12: months and setles by a al purposes if needed. By this {simple and economical method used time, waste is is cartied out for its settlement pri decomposed nl stabilized within hheight. This land can then be used for recreation: Iying areas can be better reclaimed and this isthe mos today >) ncineration- Incineration means burning which i carried out in famaces- This method ‘domping sites are not available. From the collected solid wastes noi rence movers are frst separated oxt and the combustible materials are only ionerted. The temperature of incinrating chamber should tbe more than 670°C 19 ste, wood, coal or oil are also is used wh {incinerate all organic matter. When there is moistu added for smooth burning, The final product is ash and clinker, Here solid waste is pulverized in grinding machines to reduce its volume 3) Pauly Teis then disposed off by land fillin and change of physical char zation thod the organic waste is digested anaerobically and converted 4) Composting- In this me e is considerably into humus and stable mineral compounds. ‘and itis made free of pathogens. This is a hygienic method The volume of solid wa reduced during compostin which converts the solid waste into manure. This method is suitable for small and medium sized towns of India and solves three problems ic., disposal of solid waste, disposal of night soil and production of manure. There are three methods prevalent in India: . Mechanical composting a. Composting by trenching b. Open window compost Pyrolysis- Here, destructive distillation of solid waste is done. The combustibl. substances are heated at 650-10000C in pyrolysis retort in low oxygen environment. It is, an endothermic process.
