Abstract
Kitchen waste presents a significant problem in waste management because of its large volume and other properties. Technologies for the treatment of kitchen waste are more or less tested in laboratory, semi-operational, or operational conditions. The main current technologies for the treatment of kitchen waste are anaerobic digestion, composting, incineration, and landfilling. However, new methods for kitchen waste treatment are currently being developed that combine the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages of current technologies. This review provides an overview, critically comparing the current methods of kitchen waste treatment. The comparison has been made primarily from the point of view of environmental advantages and disadvantages. This review does not take into account economic factors, which are difficult to evaluate as their value has to be related to a specific process and unit of capacity. In addition, we summarize some innovative methods for kitchen waste treatment that have already been tested under laboratory conditions.
期刊介绍：
Published since 1993, Environmental Reviews is a quarterly journal that presents authoritative literature reviews on a wide range of environmental science and associated environmental studies topics, with emphasis on the effects on and response of both natural and manmade ecosystems to anthropogenic stress. The authorship and scope are international, with critical literature reviews submitted and invited on such topics as sustainability, water supply management, climate change, harvesting impacts, acid rain, pesticide use, lake acidification, air and marine pollution, oil and gas development, biological control, food chain biomagnification, rehabilitation of polluted aquatic systems, erosion, forestry, bio-indicators of environmental stress, conservation of biodiversity, and many other environmental issues.
