Nano Technology Applications in Conversion of Municipal Solid Waste into Compost

Abstract

The growth of the world population and the consumption of energy lead to ecological repercussions. A rise in solid waste production is one of these effects. Industrial and municipal waste releases a range of organic and inorganic pollutants into the air, land, and water. Using the technologies currently in use, it is difficult to merely remove these pollutants. Nanotechnology may be used to help solve this issue. Nanoparticles, nanofillers, nano sensors, and nano photocatalysts are among the nanomaterials that are frequently employed in waste management. A completely automatic composting system is what this article aims to design. To improve biome efficiency and eliminate the unpleasant odor, the primary objective of the article is to design an automatic composting machine which will help reduce waste from households in a more efficient and ecologically conscious approach. This machine has distinctive heating, cooling, and cutting capabilities which consumers may effortlessly and comfortably leverage by striking a single button to proceed. The Internet of Things (IoT) works in tandem with a developed application for smartphones to track the volume of food scraps, the process underway and its level of moisture beforehand transforming the waste into highly composted matter.
