Learn How to Separate Waste & Use an Incinerator

AI Thread Summary
Waste separation involves categorizing materials into three main types: toxic, normal, and inert, while biodegradable waste should be managed separately through processes like Fibrecycle or anaerobic digestion. Incinerators vary in design, with grate incinerators for regular waste, rotating tunnels for toxic waste, and fluidized beds for slurry and biodegradable materials. Gas emissions primarily consist of SO2 and HCl, which can be scrubbed using calcium compounds, while carbon adsorption is necessary for removing contaminants like PCBs and dioxins. Effective recycling requires washing inert materials and recovering metals and non-metals, while other waste types should be disposed of properly. For more detailed information, resources like Indaver can be helpful.

Can someone here explain to me in detail how this stuff works... or link me to a good website about incinerators...

i need to consider these points also... how to separate waste into recyclable and non recyclable...

how to separate the gases produced?

if someone has any info about any stuff above, please post!
thnx

thnx... btw, the astro pics on your site are amazing!
 
It's almost always SO2 and HCl, which is scrubbed by using CaCO3 and Ca(OH)2.

We don't really need to separate those gases. Other contaminants are PCB and dioxines which requires a use of carbon adsorption.

Recycling: there are 3 sections: toxic, normal and inert building material. You never dump biodegradable waste in a waste plant. What you can do with biodegradable waste is: Fibrecycle proces or aerobic or anaerobic waste management. Always recycle metals and non metals in waste and do a washing on inert material + recuperation. All other material should be dumped.

There are different kinds of incinerators, the grate incinerator for normal waste, then there is this toxic waste using big rotating tunnels. Then there is a fluidized bed for slurry and biodegradable things out of water purification centers.

Do a search on Indaver!

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
