Abstract

Across industry sectors, solid waste materials are common and highly varied. The complexities of material handling in solids waste processes often evade scrutiny until operational implementation. Challenges associated with material handling for solid wastes result from the typologies and physical properties of the materials, including variable particle sizes, extreme shapes and high moisture content. These challenges turn into significant barriers when storing, classifying, drying, transporting and carrying out other processes with the solid waste materials. To avoid these barriers, performing special characterization tests of the material is essential to inform the process design and the operations, thereby minimizing operational risks. This article outlines the main challenges presented by solid waste materials, as well as strategies to overcome the challenges and improve processes involving solid wastes.
