Abstract

The problems concerned with waste management abound in most regions of the world, and so, efforts must be made to assess the global level of pollution and to understand the major factors involved in order to propose efficient waste treatment technologies. This must be compatible with environmental and economic conditions and appropriate to semi-urban settlements, isolated communities and a variety of industrial situations. The main purpose of this paper is to present a recent waste management technology as an alternative solution to traditional treatment systems in regions where those systems are not economical or technical feasible,
