PROCESS FOR THE FINAL DISPOSAL OF URBAN SOLID WASTE IN INSULAR AND COASTLINE LOCATIONS, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF CRUSHING, HOMOGENIZATION AND SANITIZATION, STABILIZATION, MOULDING, DRYING, ENCAPSULATION AND FINAL DISPOSAL AT SEA

摘要

Industrial process for the treatment of U.S.W. without sorting, where said waste, after crushing, is aggregated, being sanitized, agglomerated and hardened so as to render it chemically inert, preventing the production of percolated liquids, leaching of heavy metals and generation of greenhouse gases. The resultant material is a warm, grey, mouldable paste which hardens, allowing different uses; it may be buried directly in the ground without using special protective systems, can be used as a construction material for street furniture or architectural structures, or may be anchored at sea so as to form habitats for marine ecosystems, if suitably encapsulated in waterproofing material.
