2013 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Conversion of Solid Wastes to Energy and/Or Product II

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.
