C36TC Product Spotlight Announced!

People who manage office buildings, hospitals, hotels, and apartment buildings know the challenges of collecting and disposing of waste. Waste that is deposited down many floors in a chute system can pile up quickly, creating not only a mess, but also health and fire hazards. For those who do not implement a compactor solution, a great deal of time is spent on emptying the waste container. ...

Axisymmetric Tension Testing of Geomembranes

The newly developed axisymmetric tension test is useful in evaluating the performance of geomembranes subjected to out-of-plane stress conditions such as those that can develop due to localized subsidence under waste-containment cover and liner systems. In this paper, the equations necessary to describe the geomembrane stresses and strains during testing are derived, and equations used to ...

11 Å tobermorite ion exchanger from recycled container glass

Waste container glass cullet has been evaluated as a feedstock material for the hydrothermal synthesis of tobermorite, a cation exchanger. Accordingly, it is demonstrated that essentially phase–pure 11 Å tobermorite, Ca5Si6O16 (OH) 2 · 4H2O, can be obtained from a stoicheiometrically–adjusted mixture of waste glass cullet and calcium oxide in aqueous sodium hydroxide at 100°C. A batch sorption ...

PVC Geomembrane Liner for Waste Containment in Wuhan - Case Study

PVC geomembrane liner is a kind of impermeable liner, which is widely used in the modern municipal solid waste containment system. PVC is an abbreviation for Poly Vinyl Chloride. They are installed in the side and bottom liners to inhibit flow of leachates and thus prevent the contamination of groundwater. Manufactured by the calendaring or extrusion process, BPM PVC geomembrane has high puncture ...

Compacted lateritic soil treated with blast furnace slag as hydraulic barriers in waste containment systems

Laboratory testing was conducted to assess the feasibility of using lateritic soil mixed with up to 15% blast furnace slag (BFS) by dry weight of soil as a suitable hydraulic barrier. Tests were carried out on the lateritic soil-slag mixture to ascertain the particle size distribution, index properties and compaction characteristics. The relationship between hydraulic conductivity, unconfined ...

A new and effective approach to boron removal by using novel boron-specific fungi isolated from boron mining wastewater

Boron-resistant fungi were isolated from the wastewater of a boron mine in Turkey. Boron removal efficiencies of Penicillium crustosum and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa were detected in different media compositions. Minimal Salt Medium (MSM) and two different waste media containing molasses (WM-1) or whey + molasses (WM-2) were tested to make this process cost effective when scaled up. Both ...

Nuclear waste management using alpha particle physical phenomena by nanoscale investigations

Nuclear waste is investigated from the aspect of its nanoscale behaviour. Four materials are selected as the nuclear waste container. Using the irradiation-induced amorphisation, some characteristics are examined. The Displacement Per Atom (dpa) is affected by the ion dose using the Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter 2008 (SRIM 2008) code system, which is a computer package of molecular dynamic ...

Influence of Soil Structure on the Stress-Strain Behavior of Sand-Bentonite Mixtures

The influence of soil structure on the behavior of clay-rich mixtures has been examined. Mixtures of sand and bentonite, known as buffer, have been studied to determine their suitability for nuclear fuel waste containment. Triaxial tests have been performed on compacted specimens to determine the strength and constitutive behavior of the buffer. Two techniques were followed in preparing ...
