Innovative Separation and Quality Control Strategies Applied to Mixed Polyolefins Waste

The idea to write this Special Issue originated as I am involved in the running European FP7 Collaborative Project “Magnetic Sorting and Ultrasound Sensor Technologies for Production of High Purity Secondary Polyolefins from Waste (W2Plastics)” Grant Agreement No. 212782, specifically addressed to develop a number of novel concepts and an innovative operative approach finalized for recovering h...

The Use of HyperSpectral Imaging for Quality Control in the MDS-based Recycling Process of Polyolefins

The separation of pure polyolefins, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), from post-consumer plastic waste is of increasing interest in the last years according to market requirements for their further recycling. In this paper new analytical inspection strategies, based on HyperSpectral Imaging (HSI) in the VIS-NIR and NIR fields (400-1000 and 1000-1700 nm, respectively), have been investig...

Innovative Control Methods in Waste Management

Presently waste incineration is one of the most commonly used techniques for residual waste processing. It is an important step of making inert and compacting the waste before disposal. More strict legal regulations for the reduction of emissions requires the improvement of existing process control. This chapter presents several methods and approaches to improve the current status of process co...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
