729 Conversion of Solid Wastes to Energy and/or Product

Thursday, November 12, 2015: 3:15 PM - 5:45 PM
257A (Salt Palace Convention Center)

Description:
This session solicits presentations on innovative processing technologies for conversion of solid wastes into reusable energy and/or products to reduce environmental footprints. The solid wastes of large volume and energy content are of interest, such as municipal solid wastes, agricultural wastes, forestry wastes, and industrial wastes (spent cars, tires). Hazardous and toxic wastes are not covered by this technical session.
