Waste materials, recycling

An Ecoprofile is an assessment of the environmental and resource impacts of a waste disposal process. This paper describes ecoprofiles for six different ways of disposing the plastic fraction in municipal solid waste -two material recycling processes that include separation of the plastic waste, material recycling without separation of the plastic waste, pyrolysis, incineration with heat recovery, and landfill. 17 refs. [Pg.82]

Reverse osmosis is a high-pressure membrane separation process (20 to 100 bar) which can be used to reject dissolved inorganic salt or heavy metals. The concentrated waste material produced by membrane process should be recycled if possible but might require further treatment or disposal. [Pg.312]

Z. Evaporation. If the wastewater is in low volume and the waste material involatile, then evaporation can be used to concentrate the waste. The relatively pure evaporated water might still require biological treatment after condensation. The concentrated waste can then be recycled or sent for further treatment or disposal. The cost of such operations can be prohibitively expensive unless the heat available in the evaporated water can be recovered. [Pg.313]

The economic balance must be considered between recovery, reuse, and modification of a waste material or by-product and its disposal. The future is expected to bring iacreases ia the practice of recycle, recovery, modification, and upgrading of wastes of all sorts, and a reduction ia disposal by iaciaeration (qv), biochemical oxidation, or discharge to the environment (see Recycling). [Pg.451]

Processing and Recovery The functional element of processing and recoveiy includes all the techniques, equipment, and facilities used both to improve the efficiency of the other functional elements and to recover usable materials, conversion products, or energy from solid wastes. Materials that can be recycled are exported to facilities equipped to do so. Residues go to disposal. [Pg.2230]

Adhesives and resins are one of the most important raw materials in wood-based panels. Thus, each question concerning the life cycle assessment and the recycling of bonded wood panels does bring into question the adhesive resins used. This includes, for example, the impact of the resin on various environmental aspects such as waste water and effluents, emission of noxious volatile chemicals during production and from the finished boards, or the reuse for energy generation of wood panels. The type of resin has also a crucial influence on feasibility and efficiency for several material recycling processes. [Pg.1043]

THERMAL METHODS OF RAW MATERIALS RECYCLING OF PLASTICS WASTES... [Pg.59]

Polymers with hetero-atoms in the chain are suitable for chemical recycling of waste materials. In addition to depolymerisation (nylon 6) and solvolysis (nylon 6,6, PETP, PU) the degradation of aliphatic polyamides with dicarboxylic acids, diamines and cyclic anhydrides, especially trimellitic anhydride, becomes more and more important. The utilisation of the obtained fragments is described. [Pg.73]

The Japanese Plastic Waste Management Institute is developing a process to convert PVC and other plastic waste materials to fuel oil through pyrolysis. In Eiuope, a free market for plastics waste is now being established by the European Plastics Converters over the internet. The company says it will be possible to establish market prices for recyclates at European level on a supply and demand basis. The European market for recycled plastics is currently worth around 1.18bn US dollars and is predicted to reach 2.53bn US dollars by the endof2001. WORLD... [Pg.75]

A question being disputed in Germany, important with regard to the amendment of the German Waste Act, is which wastes or residuals should or must be recycled, and which can be used for energy reeovery This paper attempts to define the line between material recycling and thermal exploitation. 2 refs. [Pg.88]

Different methods available for material recycling of plastics waste into raw materials for the chemical industry are reviewed and discussed. The technical problems, energy efficiencies and cost efficiencies of the processes are examined. 35 refs. [Pg.101]

Material recycling is the objective for every material, but at some point reuse or collection, separation and further recycling will no longer yield a useful product. The so-called plastic waste still contains a high calorific value which can be recovered to produce heat or electricity. Even better it may be possible to recover the chemical feedstock originally manufactured from oil. These two possibilities are reviewed. [Pg.107]

ChE will be challenged to develop creative process for recycling of waste materials, rather than burning or discarding them. One potential process is bioremediation, using genetically modified microorganisms to decompose the waste. This approach has already been applied to the treatment of oil spills. [Pg.3]

Addition of rubber particles of 30% to 100% by weight to cement with a grain size of approximately 40 to 60 mesh (0.4 to 0.25 mm) will produce a lightweight cement. The addition of rubber particles also creates a low permeability. The compositions are advantageous for cementing zones subjected to extreme dynamic stresses such as perforation zones and the junctions of branches in a multi-sidetrack well. Recycled, expanded polystyrene lowers the density of a hydraulic cement formulation and is an environmentally friendly solution for downcycling waste materials. [Pg.138]

Materials recycling or resource recycling is essentially resource recovery, which is the means by which waste resources usually destined for disposal are used as secondary resources or secondary raw materials to serve as valued inputs to the economy, fulfilling both producer and consumer needs. Resource recycling, as has been pointed out, increases the supply of available material, and thereby offers a potentially attractive means of reducing... [Pg.757]

Identification and sorting of plastics in waste materials were reviewed [19,31]. Garbassi [32] has stressed the important role played by polymer analysis and characterisation in plastics recycling. [Pg.32]
