Classification of dimension stone wastes
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2012For countries in which the stone industry is well developed, opposition to quarry and plant waste is gradually increasing. The primary step for waste control and environmental management is to define the problem of concern. In this study, natural building stone wastes were classified for the first time in the literature.Following on-site physical ...

Classification of Hazardous Wastes
Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1980The multivariate statistical techniques of linear discriminant analysis and cluster analysis were applied to the classification of hazardous wastes. Linear discriminate analysis was used to classify a sample of waste streams from the metal smelting and refining industries, with a resultant classification accuracy of 83%.

Waste Classification System for Low-Level Radioactive Wastes
MRS Proceedings, 1982ABSTRACTSome low-level radioactive waste represents both a chemical and radiological hazard, and it is desirable that management practices take this into account. This paper describes a waste classification system that could provide guidance on how mixed wastes could be separated for disposal, and the degree of disposal isolation each waste material or

Automatic Image-Based Waste Classification
2019The management of solid waste in large urban environments has become a complex problem due to increasing amount of waste generated every day by citizens and companies. Current Computer Vision and Deep Learning techniques can help in the automatic detection and classification of waste types for further recycling tasks.

Waste sources and classification
2007Publisher Summary This chapter describes the various sources of radioactive wastes, their classification, and the way they are conditioned for disposal. It also examines issues that are of interest in a broader environmental context. Without a proper understanding of radioactive wastes—namely, their chemical, physical, and radiological properties—it ...

Wasteful disposition: Analysis of municipal household waste using geodemographic classification
Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2014The continuous flow of resources through the economy is the origin of most of the environmental problems evident today. These problems are directly related to production and introduction of wastes and pollutants into the natural environment. The study investigated the relationship between household waste and geodemographic grouping (GDG) at the ...

RISK-INFORMED RADIOACTIVE WASTE CLASSIFICATION AND RECLASSIFICATION
Health Physics, 2006Radioactive waste classification systems have been developed to allow wastes having similar hazards to be grouped for purposes of storage, treatment, packaging, transportation, and/or disposal. As recommended in the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements' Report No. 139, Risk-Based Classification of Radioactive and Hazardous Chemical
