Harmless and resourceful utilization of solid waste: Multi physical field regulation in the microbiological treatment...

Solid waste (SW) treatment methods mainly include physical, chemical, and biological methods, while physical and chemical methods have advantages such as fast effectiveness and short treatment time, but have high costs and were prone to secondary pollution. Due to the advantages of mild conditions and environmental protection, microbial methods have attracted the attention of numerous researchers. Recently, promotion of biological metabolic activity in biotreatment technology by applying multiple physical conditions, and reducing the biochemical reaction energy base to promote the transfer of protons and electrons, has made significant progress in harmless and resourceful utilization of SW. This paper main summarized the harmless and resourceful treatment methods of common bulk SW. The research of physical field-enhanced microbial treatment of inorganic solid waste (ISW) and organic solid waste (OSW) was discussed. The advantages and mechanisms of microbial treatment compared to traditional SW treatment methods were analyzed. The multi-physical field coupling enhanced microbial treatment technology was proposed to further improving the efficiency of large-scale treatment of bulk SW. The application prospects and potential opportunities of this technology were analyzed. Novel research ideas for the large-scale harmless and resourceful treatment of bulk SW were provided.
