This project was commissioned by the Association of Plastics Manufacturers in Europe (APME) and the American Plastics Council (APC) to evaluate the operational and environmental impacts associated with the co-combustion of automotive shredder residue (ASR) with municipal solid waste (MSW) in a modem, commercial waste-to-energy plant. This paper describes the shredding and combustion facilities ...

Particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) stays airborne for long periods and can enter the lungs, increasing respiratory cardiovascular risks. Metal shredders are known sources of PM2.5, lead other heavy metals. Winnipeg residents South Saint Boniface (SSB) in Manitoba, Canada, live downwind Mission Industrial Area (MIA), which includes a metal shredder, train tracks industries. Resi...

a four - year field experiment (1999-2002) was conducted on a silty clay loam soil at laklak research field of hamedan to determine the effects of crop residue management and plowing depth on soil fertility and wheat yield in a maize-wheat rotation. in this investigation, four corn residue managements were used consisting of 1) stalk shredding by maize stalk shredder 2) stalk shredding by disk ...

This paper describes the previously unknown larva of Athripsodes genei (Rambur 1842). Information on the morphology of the 5th larval instar is given and the most important diagnostic features are illustrated. In the context of existing identification keys the larva of A. genei keys together with A. albifrons (Linnaeus 1758), A. commutatus (Rostock 1874), A. leucophaeus (Rambur 1842) and Athrip...

There is an increased interest in designing cost-effective lightweight components to meet modern design requirements of improving cost and performance efficiency. This paper describes a significant effort optimize the medical waste shredder blade through weight reduction by increasing material The computer-aided (CAD) model was produced reverse engineering converted finite element (FE) characte...
