Recycling methods recycle installations

In many countries starter batteries are almost 100 percent recycled PVC separators can cause some problems here [67]. A prior separation of PVC from other battery components, which is quite tedious, would be desirable, because a PVC content decreases the recycling purity of the container polypropylene and makes further processing of this plastic more difficult. Also, any chlorine compounds liberated can form environmentally hazardous products with other substances the usual remedy is to install costly filter stations, with the residues representing possibly toxic wastes requiring special disposal methods. 

At this point all the units in the flowsheet are installed and converged. The last issue is to converge the recycle stream. The initial guessed values are adjusted to be close to the calculated values of flow and composition leaving the split S1. When these two streams are fairly close, the source of the recycle stream is defined as the split SI and the recycle stream is defined as a Tear stream. The flowsheet did not converge when the default convergence method... 

The experiments have proved that membrane distillation can be applied for radioactive wastewater treatment. In one-stage installation the membrane retained all radionuclides and decontamination factors were higher than those obtained by other membrane methods. The distillate obtained in the process was pure water, which could be recycled or safely discharged into the environment. It seems the process can overcome various problems of evaporation such as corrosion, scaling, or foaming. There is no entrainment of droplets, which cause the contamination of condensate from thin-film evaporator. Operation at low evaporation temperature can decrease the volatility of some volatile nuclides present in the waste, such as tritium or some forms of iodine and ruthenium. The process is especially economic for the plants, which can utilize waste heat, e.g., plants operating in power and nuclear industry. 

The apparatus utihzed in the Van der Made system is a column of suitably protected steel in small installations, reinforced concrete in large ones. The column is divided into sections of horizontal perforated celluloid plates with 0.7-mm. holes. Both the water and air enter at the bottom and pass upward through several of these plates. This method provides good mixing and allows utilization of low concentrations of ozone. Another novel characteristic of this process is the recovery of excess ozone at the top of the column and its recycle through drier, ozonator, and piston-type compressor. By use of a variable speed compressor, the quantity of ozone injected can be varied in accordance with the quality of the water. 

On the industrial scale, phosphoric acid is mainly used to synthesize cumene. In the reactors of these plants, the reactants may circulate dther in downflow, a method adopted in the older installations, or in upflow in more recent versions. In the former case, the propylene feed containing 92 per cent weight (chemical grade or ex-refinery), to which propane recycle is added to obtain a molar ratio of 1/1 at the reactor inlet, is mixed with make-up and recycle benzene. The benzene to propylene molar ratio in the feed is maintained at a high level, about 8 to 10/1, in order to minimize the formation of polyalkylbenzenes and polymers.

Reducing the need for a landfill should be a priority for all installations. The type and extent of compaction should be considered in design to reduce landfill volume. Recycling and other methods of reducing landfill volume are discussed elsewhere in this manual.
