In Romania, the waste materials problem is becoming more and more acute due to the increase in their quantity and of the negative impact on the environment. An important waste category is represented by the medical solid waste materials that belong to the high contamination risk category. The source of these waste materials is hospitals and clinics typical units from the point of view of the ge...

The authors have presented a unique approach for estimating, on the basis of available data, the change that can be expected in the next 30 years in the physical and chemical nature of municipal refuse. Their approach of categorizing the material into those specific constituents which can individually be reasonably examined for future trends in national consumption is a most appropriate one. Th...

Consultation with the Chancellor of the Exchequer would, doubtless, in any case, be essential if a Bill were contemplated involving any charge on the Exchequer. And it appears inevitable that there should be legislation; unless, indeed, the Minister should propose a 7s. settlement, and adhere to his proposal, notwithstanding the storm. Apart from legislative provisions of a purely temporary cha...

abstract background: in 2007, a rule prohibiting the use of incinerators was ratified by the iranian islamic parliament. based on this rule, the ministry of health emphasized the sterilization of infectious waste at its production source by means of non-incineration equipment and methods. this research examined the performance of non-incineration technologies in treating medical infectious and ...

introduction: countries around the world are looking for an appropriate, stable, and affordable replacement for the natural energies. therefore, the waste is considered as an available resource to produce energy, which by controlling, its effects on the environment could be minimized. methods: to conduct this review article, all the scientific data related to the topic were gathered from scient...

The destruction of toxic organic wastewaters from munitions demilitarization and complex industrial chemical clearly becomes an overwhelming problem if left to conventional treatment processes. Two options, incineration and supercritical water oxidation (SCWO), exist for the complete destruction of toxic organic wastewaters. Incinerator has associated problems such as very high cost and public ...

Introduction There is a significant and inevitable fact in Turkey which is the “sludge problem” generated from the wastewater treatment plants. There are many sludge disposal techniques currently applied in Turkey such as incineration, landfilling, composting, etc.; but the disposal of sludge with those conventional methods is difficult and expensive, often requiring over 50 per cent of the ope...

The Fisher Burner produces an intensly hot flame for all types of laboratory heating operations including many ignitions and incinerations which otherwise would require the use of compressed air. Instead of the cold cone and hot tip characteristic of the Bunsen flame, the Fisher flame is short and wide and is uniformly hot throughout.

2 9 The individual waste management quantities reported are mutually exclusive to avoid double-counting. For example, an incinerator may destroy 99% of the chemical in the waste; in this case, the amount reported as treated on-site would be the amount destroyed by the incinerator, not the amount that entered the incinerator. The amount not destroyed in incineration (1%) would be reported as rel...
