Removal of Wastes

Concentrate. An action to intensify in strength or purity by the removal of valueless or unneeded constituents, ie separation of ore or metal from its containing rock or earth. The concentration of ores always proceeds by steps or stages. Liberation of mineral values is often the initial step. Concentrate also means a product of concentration, ie, enriched ore after removal of waste in a beneficiation mill. 

In PD, prewarmed dialysate is instilled into the peritoneal cavity where it dwells for a specified length of time (usually one to several hours, depending on the type of PD) to adequately clear metabolic waste products. At the end of the dwell time, the dialysate is drained and replaced with fresh dialysate. The continuous nature of PD provides for a more physiologic removal of waste products from the bloodstream, which mimics endogenous renal function by decreasing the fluctuations seen in serum concentrations of the waste products. Similarly, water is removed at a more constant rate, lessening the fluctuations in intravascular fluid balance and providing for more hemodynamic stability. 

RPE plays numerous functions essential for proper structure and function of retinal photoreceptors. They include the maintenance of the blood-retina barrier, selective uptake and transport of nutrients from the blood to the retina and removal of waste products to the blood, enzymatic cleavage of P-carotene into vitamin A, storage of vitamin A and its metabolic transformations, phagocytosis and molecular renewal of POS, expression and secretion of growth factors and immunomodulatory cytokines (Aizman et al., 2007 Aleman et al., 2001 Crane et al., 2000a,b Elner et al., 2006 Holtkamp et al., 2001 Leuenberger et al., 2001 Lindqvist and Andersson, 2002 Maminishkis et al., 2006 Momma et al., 2003 Strauss, 2005). 

In its basic form, bioremediation of the vadose zone involves introduction of nutrients and electron acceptors necessary to stimulate the indigenous bacteria and provide for removal of waste products generated by the reactions. This sometimes takes the form of a series of injections of a soup of nutrients and electron acceptors into the vadose zone through wells, or infiltration galleries. Other sites may require pressure fracturing of the soil before the stimulant blend can be injected. 

The liquid waste is stored for at least 6 y prior to solidification to reduce the decay heat (Fig. 16.8) by a factor of 10 or more. The first U.S. military fuel reprocessing wastes were stored as neutralized waste in mild steel tanks at the Hanford reservation in eastern Washington. These steel-lined, reinforced-concrete tanks were 500,000-1,000,000 gal in capacity with provisions for removal of waste heat and radiolysis products. Corrosion of several tanks occurred with the release of waste. Fortunately, the soil around these tanks retarded nuclide transport. A better (and more expensive) design for storage tanks was implemented at the Savannah River site in South Carolina consisting of a second steel tank inside of a Hanford-style tank. The storage of acid waste in these tanks has not encountered the corrosion problems seen with the Hanford tanks. 

The flow of liquid G and received difference of temperatures At are connected unequivocally and consequently at desire to receive big difference At it is necessary to reduce the flow. The ratio between them is determined by mission of developed installation. For example, if necessary removal of heat of the certain temperature the liquid flow cannot be more than certain value. For removal of waste heat and acceleration of preparatory processes the fluid flow can be increased, as thus the difference of temperatures is not the limiting factor. 

HA is an unsulfated glycosaminoglycane composed of repeating disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and A-acetylglucosaminc linked a-( 1 —4) and p-( 1—3), respectively. HA has special importance because it is a component of the ECM [53] in the soft tissues of mammals, where it mainly ensures water retention [54], This enables the transport of nutrients to, and removal of waste from, cells that do not have a direct blood supply, such a cartilage cells. Moreover, HA is present in the synovial joint fluid, the vitreous humor of the eye, cartilage, blood vessels, and the unbilical cord. More detailed information about the biological functions and physicochemical properties of HA can be found elsewhere [55, 56],...

Resin adsorption. The resin adsorption is a good option for the selective removal of waste. This technique is normally used for the removal of ther-molabile organic solutes from aqueous waste streams. The solute concentration of solution ranges fiwm 1 to 8 percent. Moreover, synthetic cationic and anionic resins may be used to remove a hydrophobic, hydrophihc, or neutral solute, which can also be recovered by chemical methods. These resins are also used with a high concentration of dissolved inorganic salts in the waste stream. Their appUcations include phenol, fat, organics, and color removal from wastewater. They can be apphed for the removal of pesticides, carcinogens, and chlorofluoro compounds. 

On Earth, heat travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. However, conduction and natural convection are almost entirely nonexistent in the vacuum of space. Radiation is the primary method of heat transport in space. Space-based electronics that need to be kept cold are attached to radiators that face deep space and radiate excess heat into space. These electronics (i.e., space based phased-array-radar and laser systems) and radiators are thermally insulated from the rest of the spacecraft. Cooling is achieved through surface thermal radiation to deep space. Space-based electronics thermal management encompasses not only the removal of waste heat, but also the conservation of heat to provide a benign environment for the instruments and on-board electronic equipment. 

The problem of the disposal of cyanide waste has become increasingly important because sewage disposal regulations in many communities require the removal of wastes that are toxic to plant and animal life. 

In 1980, KDNREP contacted six Responsible Parties who identified and removed some of the waste remaining on the surface of the site. Through these response activities and voluntary removal of wastes by the known generators, a majority of the drums on... 

The transportation of gases may be roughly divided into the problems involving the use of air piped under more or less pressure, those of the removal of waste industrial gases by chimneys, and the carriage of highly-compressed gases in tanks. ...
