Separation source

Fundamentally, there are two possible ways to integrate a heat engine exhaust. In Fig. 6.31 the process is represented as a heat sink and heat source separated hy the pinch. Integration of the heat engine across the pinch as shown in Fig. 6.31a is coimterproductive. The process still requires QHmm, and the heat engine performs no... 

More often than not, however, the demand for post-consumer materials has failed to keep pace with this boom in collection. In many regions of the United States and elsewhere, the supply of recyclable materials is so great that cities have been forced to either store the materials or curtail the number of items collected. Many principal cities worldwide have reported occasions when source-separated materials were actually sent to dumps or incinerators rather than being recycled (4). 

There are four key advantages to handling separated materials (/) separated materials systems are far less labor-intensive than other collection schemes (as mentioned eadier, labor costs are the largest component of most recovery facihties operating expenses) (2) the equipment needed to handle separated material is relatively simple and inexpensive (J) source separation is often the only method of resource recovery suitable for small communities ... 

Scrap from municipal refuse may be in the form of source-separated steel cans, a mixed ferrous fraction, metal magnetically separated from mixed waste or incinerator ash, and C D debris. An ASTM specification (E1134-86) was developed in 1991 for source-separated steel cans. The Steel Recycling Institute has a descriptive steel can specification entitled "Steel Can Scrap Specifications". PubHshed standards for municipal ferrous scrap also include ASTM E701-80, which defines chemical and physical test methods, and ASTM E702-85 which covers the chemical and physical requirements of ferrous scrap for several scrap-consurning industries. 

Generally, recyclables are either coUected at curbside or deposited by consumers at various types of drop-off locations, such as local recycling centers, community service clubs, dealers, and commercial buyback centers. Curbside coUections of recyclables can be accompUshed either in conjunction with the pickup of aU MSW or as a separate activity. Co-coUection systems range from complete commingling of aU waste for later separation at a mixed waste processing facility to transporting essentially source-separated recyclables in the same tmck as MSW.

All point source and nonpoint source wastewaters at an industrial site must be properly managed for source separation, waste minimization, volume reduction, collection, pretreatment, and/or complete end-of-pipe treatment [39,47]. When industrial waste is not disposed of properly, hazardous substances may contaminate a nearby surface water (river, lake, sea, or ocean) and/or groundwater. Any hazardous substance release, either intentionally or unintentionally, increases the risk of water supply contamination and human disease. Major waterborne contaminants and their health effects are listed below. 

Recycling programs have been remarkably successful in the United States since the 1960s. In 2000, there were curbside "source separation" recycling programs in 9,250 communities. In addition, there were 3,800 separate programs for the collection of yard trimmings. As already noted, resource recovery plants had become somewhat less popular, with just over 100 such plants in operation in 2000. These plants had a total daily capacity of 95,700 short tons (87,000 metric tons) of wastes. 

Figure 1.1 Basic diagram of mass spectrometry generation of ions from compounds in the sample, introduction into the ion source, separation of these ions by their mass-to-charge ratio in the mass separator and detection of ions in the ion detector.

When ion sources, ion separation and detection are combined, a mass spectrometer system results. While some choose to build their own, a wide variety of these are commercially available, offering as wide a combination of sources, separation means and detection. Chapter 5 focuses on these systems and is given the general title of Instrumentation. For inorganic MS, Figure 5.1 and 5.2 illustrate some possible combinations by adding sample introduction to ion sources and... 

Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry. A spectroscopic technique related to some of the types mentioned above is atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). Like atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), AFS requires a light source separate from that of the heated flame cell. This can be provided, as in AAS, by individual (or multielement lamps), or by a continuum source such as xenon arc or by suitable lasers or combination of lasers and dyes. The laser is still pretty much in its infancy but it is likely that future development will cause the laser, and consequently the many spectroscopic instruments to which it can be adapted to, to become increasingly popular. Complete freedom of wavelength selection still remains a problem. Unlike AAS the light source in AFS is not in direct line with the optical path, and therefore, the radiation emitted is a result of excitation by the lamp or laser source.
