Municipal solid waste polymer types

Plastic polymers make up a high proportion of waste and the volume and range used is increasing dramatically. The two main types of plastic are thermoplastics which soften when heated and harden again when cooled and thermosets which harden by curing and cannot be remoulded. The six main plastics in municipal solid waste are, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In addition there are... [Pg.287]

Most municipal waste treatment plants dewater blends of waste-activated and raw primary sludges. A mixture of the two types of sludges facilitates concentration of solids and disposal by conventional dewatering methods. Cationic polymers are widely used in the waste treatment industry as dewatering aids. [Pg.233]
