The process of burning solid waste under controlled conditions is called incineration. Incineration reduces the volume of solid waste and is sometimes used to produce energy.

Is burning gasoline an exothermic process or an endothermic process?
Solid to gas (sublimation) is endothermic (takes in heat).In other words:A phase change from the solid state to the gas state is endothermic.Sublimation is endothermic (takes in energy).Heat energy must be provided to make it work.When there is a change of state from a solid to a liquid, a solid to a gas, or a liquid to a gas, at a constant temperature, the process is endothermic NOT exothermic. It requires energy to break the intermolecular forces that keep the molecules together, and that reduces the temperature - heat is taken in.
When a solid changes directly to a gas the process is called what?
Deposition is the process in which a gas changes directly to a solid.At the proper conditions the thermodynamic equilibrium will be between solid and gas rather than solid/liquid or liquid/gas. Under these conditions it is thermodynamically unfavorable to form a liquid phase. As an example - anything below the triple point of water will only allow solid/gas equilibrium.For example:Iodine vapours when condensed at 1 atmosphere pressure change directly to solid iodine.Frost will form on the windshield of a carNote: the reverse process of changing directly from solid to gas is called sublimation. Sublimation is NOT the process of Gas --> Solid. That would be like confusing melting with freezing or confusing boiling with condensing.
What is the burning of solid waste?
Incineration
What occurs when a gas changes directly to a solid?
This change is called sublimation.
Is platinum solid or liquid or gas?
Under normal conditions, platinum is a solid.
Is fish is solid liquid or gas?
In the natural state, and under standard conditions, it will be solid and liquid.
How do you produce energy by using solid fuel?
By burning it.
Sublimation is the process by which?
It is the process from when a solid turns into a gas.
What Disadvantages of solid fuel rockets?
They are often more polluting, less efficient, and the whole rocket has to withstand the immense heat of the burning propellant. If it can't cope, something may give, and spew burning fuel and/or searing flames onto a fuel tank, causing an explosion. They also cannot be turned off or controlled, once lit. Actually, the main disadvantage it the tremendous weight of solid fuels.
What is the name for the process when solid changes in to liquid?
Sublimation is the process in which solid directly changes into gaseous state. In the case of changing gas into solid, the process is known as deposition.
