Experimental Research on Construction-Waste-Classification Algorithms for a Hyperspectral-Camera System
A large proportion of construction waste has a high recovery value, and some of the existing recycling-classification methods rely mainly on physical properties for vibration screening. In order to effectively recover construction waste, an industrial near-infrared hyperspectral camera is proposed in this paper to distinguish the spectral characteristics of the objects. The testing results were ...

Water Crisis: Myth or Reality?: Marcelino Botin Water Forum 2004
Always considered a classic renewable resource, after a hundred thousand years of farming and industry, rivers in many parts of the world are running dry and the groundwater is over pumped. In addition, the rate at which water sources are becoming contaminated with waste from humans, industry, and agriculture is truly alarming. Do these factors add up to a water crisis that merits drastic, ...

Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soils and Sediments: Processes, Tools, and Applications
Bioavailability refers to the extent to which humans and ecological receptors are exposed to contaminants in soil or sediment. The concept of bioavailability has recently piqued the interest of the hazardous waste industry as an important consideration in deciding how much waste to clean up. The rationale is that if contaminants in soil and sediment are not bioavailable, then more contaminant ...
