Underground system is more hygienic and environment friendly Each compactor replaces more than 200 ordinary waste containers Dubai In a major initiative, the Dubai Municipality unveiled its fully automated underground waste compactor project, a clean and safe modern waste management solution which collects waste and compresses it underground using the latest technology. Two such ...
Lateritic soil treated with up to 12% bagasse ash content was compacted using reduced Proctor, standard Proctor, West African Standard and modified Proctor energies at −2, 0, 2 and 4% of optimum moisture content. The effects of moulding water, water content relative to optimum, initial degree of saturation at compaction, void ratio, bagasse ash content and compactive efforts on hydraulic ...

Oily wastes are considered as one of the most hazardous waste types. Additionally to petroleum components, they can contain radioactive elements. This study aimed to estimate the toxicity of four raw and two treated waste samples obtained from petroleum production yard. Eight elutriate bioassays using plants ( Raphanus sativus and algae Scenedesmus quadricauda ), crustacean ( Daphnia magna ...
1. SUMMARY OF RESEARCH OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study is to inform WRAP of the range of contractual arrangements for waste container glass collection and recycling adopted by local authorities throughout the UK. The key objectives are: To further WRAP’s understanding of the waste container glass supply chain, in particular with regardto collection of waste container glass for recycling ...
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. ...
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 ...
Products & Equipment Used: Pneumatic Foam Unit 400/25 Bulk Storage & Dilution System (BSD) AC-645 Long Duration Foam AC-904 Long Duration Foam Application Summary: Uniroyal Chemical disposed of an extensive list of waste chemicals collected in unlined pits. This was normal before hazardous waste regulation in Canada prohibited such practices. Uniroyal Chemical contacted ...
HDPE containment liner is a cost effective geosynthetic product which can meet anti seepage and the chemical physical requirements of fluid barriers, containments, and other similar applications. HDPE containment liner have been used for many years, and has become increasingly popular, due to their high strength, effectiveness, stable chemical properties, and longer service life, etc. These ...
CK International horizontal balers allow waste recyclers to increase the volume of waste processed, with throughputs up to 3tonnes/hour being achieved. The generous hopper size of the horizontal balers allow large volumes of waste to be fed with a loading shovel or grab type loader. Customers are baling a wide range of materials including cardboard, plastic film, hard plastic and shredded paper. ...
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 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 ...

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 ...
As everyone knows, the medical waste contains a lot of germs. If it is not handled properly, it will become a source of transmission and directly threaten everyone's health. However, everyone's understanding of medical waste is still not comprehensive enough. Today we will explain the types and collection methods of medical ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
