Pyrolysis of composite plastic waste

Environmental Technology, 2003
Several different composite plastics were pyrolysed in a fixed bed reactor at final temperatures between 350 and 800 degrees C. The composites studied were polyester, phenolic, epoxy, vinylester, polypropylene and PET resins, reinforced with glass and/or carbon fibre.

Effects of compositions on food waste composting

Bioresource Technology, 2008
The objective of this work was to provide a method of predicting important parameters (composting time, highest temperature, final and lowest pH values, cumulative CO2 evolution, and percentages of material losses) that characterized the composting process of synthetic food waste in terms of weight fractions of protein and fat.

Methods for household waste composition studies

Waste Management, 2008
The question is how to conduct household waste composition studies. The review is divided into three parts: overview of known methods, sampling theory, and the waste components. Twenty methods are listed and commented on. There is no adopted, working international standard.

Waste-Composition Investigation

2017
Results of the domestic waste‒composition investigation for different categories of the campus are explained in this chapter. This includes faculties, dormitories, administrations, cafeterias, services, and residential buildings along with solid-waste generation by different types of electronic waste, construction waste, and garden waste.

Physical and Chemical Composition of Hospital Waste

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1993
Abstract For selecting the most efficient treatment method of hospital waste, the composition analysis is generally considered to be the fundamental information. Currently, there are few studies regarding the characteristics of hospital waste.

Composition of Waste

2014
The composition of waste generated in pulp and paper industry are presented. The composition of sludge depends on the raw material, manufacturing process, chemicals used, final products and the wastewater treatment technique. In case of recycled papers, it also depends on the type of paper used and the number and types of cleaning stages used in the ...

A Clinical Approach to Body Composition in Wasting

1990
The term wasting is used by physicians as a clinical statement about loss of muscle mass and not even lean body mass in its entirety. Whatever the clinician nay think, it is not possible to make, for example, an assessment about reduced liver nitrogen or protein in conjunction with protein energy malnutrition (P.E.M.) in the face of associated changes ...

Properties of cement waste composites

Waste Management, 1996
Abstract Many nominally inert waste materials can be activated by alkaline substances, including Ca(OH) 2 and Portland cement, to form valuable supplementary cementitious materials. Waste materials are inherently more variable in composition than well specified, manufactured materials.

Understanding the Composition of Food Waste

2019
Due to existing application gap, the diverse microorganisms and their processes in food waste have not been maximally explored or harnessed. This chapter addresses the possible application of “-omics” technologies to understand food waste microbial composition and metabolic processes, to stimulate future research in mining food waste for important ...
