Abstract :
Experimental exposure to the Solid waste`s chemical and physical characteristics is essential to implement waste recycling to synthesize low-cost chemicals that can be used for educational laboratory practices. Solid waste collected from various resources contains the raw form of mixed chemicals e.g. chlorides, sulfates, sulfides, nitrates, phosphates, metals non-metals, metalloids, or basic constitutional units of hydrocarbons and their different derivative forms like to create a wide variety of compounds, using carbon (and hydrogen), such as urea or alcohols (like methanol or ethanol) from methane. The most variable routine material in the municipal solid waste stream is food waste. The present research work is to find out the chemical composition of municipal solid kitchen waste by the qualitative study based on chemical and physical assessment and Infrared spectroscopy is a type of spectrum study that uses Fourier transforms (FTIR). An infrared spectrum of a solid, liquid, or gas`s emission, absorption, and photoconductivity can be obtained with the use of FTIR, a valuable instrument. In essence, by subjecting material samples to infrared light (IR). The molecular comprise and structure of a substance are ascertained by FTIR analysis, which analyses the absorbance of infrared light at different wavelengths. Solid domestic waste samples are collected from the trenching ground of the municipality, hence the conversion in the production of greener chemicals or low-cost chemicals for advancing solid waste recycling that can be used for educational laboratory practices or as precursor for the preparation of other chemicals.
