Waste treatment in Malaysia: current behaviour towards waste & the future of waste treatment and its minimisation strategies. Case study: the thermal oxidation plant (MINT, Bangi) / Mohammad Ashraf Shamshiri

Malaysia is at present changing into an industrialised nation, making the shift from being a producer of primary commodities like tin and agricultural products in the early 1960s to a maker of manufactured products. The population at present has increased to about 4 times the proportion it was in 19...
