A resident adds kitchen food scraps to yard debris in a roll cart as part of the community's source separated organics (SSO) program. Source-separated organics (SSO) is the system by which waste generators segregate compostable materials from other waste streams at the source for separate collection.
The filter layer is used above the drainage layer in leachate collection. Two types of filters are typically used in engineering practices: granular and geotextile. Granular filters consist of one or more soil layers or multiple layers having a coarser gradation in the direction of the seepage than the soil to be protected.
Waste characterisation (waste characterization US) is the process by which the composition of different waste streams is analysed. Waste characterisation plays an important part in any treatment of waste which may occur. Developers of new waste technologies must take into account what exactly waste streams consist of in order to fully treat the ...
Angle of repose of a heap of sand Sandpile from the Matemateca collection. The angle of repose, or critical angle of repose, [1] of a granular material is the steepest angle of descent or dip relative to the horizontal plane on which the material can be piled without slumping.
Here represents the square matrix of input coefficients, denotes releases (such as emissions or waste) per unit of output or the intervention matrix, stands for the vector of final demand (or functional unit), is the identity matrix, and represents the resulting releases (For further details, refer to the input-output model).
Coarse woody debris in Białowieża Forest, Poland. Coarse woody debris (CWD) or coarse woody habitat (CWH) refers to fallen dead trees and the remains of large branches on the ground in forests [1] and in rivers or wetlands. [2] A dead standing tree – known as a snag – provides many of the same functions as coarse woody debris. The minimum ...
Waste sorting is the process by which waste is separated into different elements. [1] Waste sorting can occur manually at the household and collected through curbside collection schemes, or automatically separated in materials recovery facilities or mechanical biological treatment systems.
Example of feedstocks can be from: Sewage sludges: Liquid sludge, untreated sewage sludge, composted sludge, and lime treated sludge. Animal wastes: Animal fats, animal blood, food remains, stomach contents, rumen contents, animal carcasses, and poultry, fish, and livestock manure. Energy crops: Usually corn, maize, millet, and clover. This can ...
