  2. Molecular sieve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_sieve

    A molecular sieve is a material with pores (voids or holes), having uniform size comparable to that of individual molecules, linking the interior of the solid to its exterior. These materials embody the molecular sieve effect, the preferential sieving of molecules larger than the pores.

    Environment Agency Waste Technology Data Centre An independent UK government review of advanced waste treatment technologies. Kuehle-Weidemeier et al. (2007) Plants for Mechanical-Biological Waste Treatment Summary of the evaluation of all German MBT plants in the introduction phase 2005–2006. By order of the German EPA (Umweltbundesamt)

  4. Size-exclusion chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size-exclusion_chromatography

    Size-exclusion chromatography, also known as molecular sieve chromatography, [1] is a chromatographic method in which molecules in solution are separated by their shape, and in some cases size. [2] It is usually applied to large molecules or macromolecular complexes such as proteins and industrial polymers . [ 3 ]

  5. Pressure swing adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_swing_adsorption

    It operates at near-ambient temperature and significantly differs from the cryogenic distillation commonly used to separate gases. Selective adsorbent materials (e.g., zeolites, (aka molecular sieves), activated carbon, etc.) are used as trapping material, preferentially adsorbing the target gas species at high pressure. The process then swings ...

  6. Microfiltration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfiltration

    In terms of approximate molecular weight these membranes can separate macromolecules of molecular weights generally less than 100,000 g/mol. [2] The filters used in the microfiltration process are specially designed to prevent particles such as, sediment, algae, protozoa or large bacteria from passing through a specially designed filter.

  7. Waste management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_management

    Different types of waste input (such as plant waste, food waste, tyres) placed in the pyrolysis process potentially yield an alternative to fossil fuels. [53] Pyrolysis is a process of thermo-chemical decomposition of organic materials by heat in the absence of stoichiometric quantities of oxygen ; the decomposition produces various hydrocarbon ...

  8. Plasma gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification

    The torch's temperature ranges from 2,000 to 14,000 °C (3,600 to 25,200 °F). [4] The temperature of the plasma reaction determines the structure of the plasma and forming gas. [5] The waste is heated, melted and finally vaporized. Only at these extreme conditions can molecular dissociation occur by breaking apart molecular bonds.

  9. Industrial wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_wastewater...

    Organic matter and nutrients such as food waste: Certain industries (e.g. food processing, slaughterhouse waste, paper fibers, plant material, etc.) discharge high concentrations of BOD, ammonia nitrogen and oil and grease. [5]: 180 [6] Inorganic particles such as sand, grit, metal particles, rubber residues from tires, ceramics, etc.;
