Solid waste miscellaneous solids

Solid Wastes and Biomass Large and increasing quantities of solid wastes are a significant feature of affluent societies. In the United States in 1993 the rate was about 1.8 kg (4 lb) per capita per day or nearly 190 Tg (2.07 X 10 U.S. tons) per year, but the growth rate has slowed in recent years as recycling efforts have increased. Table 27-4 shows that the composition of miscellaneous refuse is surprisingly uniform, but size and moisture variations cause major difficulties in efficient, economical disposal. 

The processes used in the primary production of lead produce several wastestreams of concern under different regulatory scenarios. The listed RCRA hazardous wastes include smelting plant wastes that are sent to surface impoundments to settle. The impoundments are used to collect solids from miscellaneous slurries, such as acid plant blowdown, slag granulation water, and plant...

Each of the two incinerators has the capacity to burn 100 tons of waste per day and produce approximately 20,000 pounds per hour of steam for use in the tire manufacturing process. Twenty-five per cent of the load to the incinerator is whole tires and rubber scraps. The remainder consists of paper, wood, and miscellaneous solid waste. The percentage of rubber does not exceed 25 percent so that the flue gas can stay within the opacity limit. Even though only one quarter of the weight of the load is tires, the tires account for 80 percent of the Btu consumed by the furnaces.

Plastics can be discarded and sent to local landfills for disposal. In 2010, the United States collected over 250 miUion tons MSW. In 2010,34.1% or 85 million tons of solid waste was recycled or composted. Residential waste comprises approximately 64% of the MSW and commercial waste comprises 35% of the waste. Table 6.3 lists the materials collected at a typical landfill in the United States in 2010. Organics are the largest component of the waste stream sent to landfills. Paper and cardboard account for 29%, food and yard trimmings account for 27%, plastics comprise 12%, metals are at 9%, rubber and textiles are at 8%, wood at 6%, glass at 5% miscellaneous at 3% (EPA Municipal 2010).

Miscellaneous. Iridium dioxide, like Ru02, is useful as an electrode material for dimensionally stable anodes (DSA) (189). Solid-state pH sensors employing Ir02 electrode material are considered promising for measuring pH of geochemical fluids in nuclear waste repository sites (190). Thin films (qv) of Ir02 are stable electrochromic materials (191).

Miscellaneous hazardous materials in DOT/UN Class 9 are defined as a material which presents a hazard during transportation, but which does not meet the definition of any other hazard class. Other hazards might include anesthetic, noxious (harmful to health), elevated temperature, hazardous substance, hazardous waste, or marine pollutant. They may be encountered as solids of varying configurations, gases, and liquids. Examples include asbestos, dry ice, molten sulfur, and lithium batteries. These materials would be labeled and placarded with the Class 9 Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials placard, which is white with seven vertical black stripes on the top half. 

Dry wastes consists of air filths, miscellaneous paper, rags, etc., from contaminated areas contaminated clothing, tools and equipment parts that cannot be effectively decontaminated and solid laboratory wastes. The actmty of much of this waste is low enough to permit handling by contact. These wastes are collected in containers located in appropriate areas throughout the plant. The filled containers are sealed and moved to controlled-access enclosed area for temporary storage. 

Solid radioactive waste should be classified according to its nature and activity for instance, sludges, cartridge filters, contaminated equipment and components, ventilation filters and miscellaneous items (such as paper, plastic, towels) may be segregated in accordance with the type of treatment and conditioning process, such as compaction, incineration or immobilization.
