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.

Additional Information:	Sent email to author asking for the AAM as well as statement regarding OA policy by publisher. Received response on July 18, 2025 (email to MP) : " Dear Mr. Deng, Scott forwarded your email to me. First of all, thank you for submitting your article on solid waste handling to Chemical Engineering. As far as I know, we do not have a formalized Open Access Policy. The articles we publish are gated on our website and typically available only to subscribers, so it is not what I would consider open access. That said, we are OK with making an exception and allowing your article “Avoiding Problems in Handling Solid Waste” to be included in your institution’s research repository. Kind regards, Dorothy Lozowski. Editorial Director Chemical Engineering and POWER" - MP
