Separation, Transformation and Recycling of Waste Materials

Materials Separation & Processing Technologies


INTRODUCTION As collected Wastes: commingled municipal solid waste(MSW) is biologically unstable, potentially odorous and essentially unstable. Materials Recovery Facilities(MRF) used to separate commingled MSW into useable materials. Paper, plastics, glass metals etc. can be recovered and used as feedstock for remanufacturing into new products. Organic fractions can be used for composting or refuse-derived fuel(RDF) for energy recovery. Separation and Processing of Waste Materials
To modify the physical characteristics so that the waste components can be removed easily. To remove specific components and contaminants from the waste stream.
