  2. Recycling by material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_by_material

    Glass that is crushed or imploded and ready to be remelted is called cullet. [7] There are two types of cullet: internal and external. Internal cullet is composed of defective products detected and rejected by a quality control process during the industrial process of glass manufacturing , transition phases of product changes (such as thickness ...

  4. Concrete recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_recycling

    Large road-portable plants can crush concrete and asphalt rubble at 600 tons per hour. These systems normally include a side discharge conveyor, a screening plant, and a return conveyor from the screen back to the crusher for re-crushing large chunks. Compact, self-contained crushers can crush up to 150 tons per hour and fit into tighter areas.

  5. Construction waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_waste

    Observational research has shown that this can be as high as 10 to 15% of the materials that go into a building, a much higher percentage than the 2.5-5% usually assumed by quantity surveyors and the construction industry. Since considerable variability exists between construction sites, there is much opportunity for reducing this waste. [7]

  6. Decomposed granite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposed_granite

    Decomposed granite, as a crushed stone form, is used as a pavement building material. It is used on driveways, garden walkways, bocce courts and pétanque terrains, and urban, regional, and national park walkways and heavy-use paths. DG can be installed and compacted to meet handicapped accessibility specifications and criteria, such as the ADA ...

  7. Glass crusher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_crusher

    VSI crushers generally utilize a high speed spinning rotor at the center of the crushing chamber and an outer impact surface of either abrasive resistant metal anvils or crushed glass (or rock in an aggregate applications). Utilizing cast metal surfaces 'anvils' are traditionally referred to as a "Shoe and Anvil VSI". Utilizing crushed material ...

  8. Crushed stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crushed_stone

    Crushed stone or angular rock is a form of construction aggregate, typically produced by mining a suitable rock deposit and breaking the removed rock down to the desired size using crushers. It is distinct from naturally occurring gravel , which is produced by natural processes of weathering and erosion and typically has a more rounded shape.

  9. Emery (rock) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emery_(rock)

    Crushed or naturally eroded emery (known as black sand) is used as an abrasive—for example, on emery boards and emery cloth. It is also used as a traction enhancer in asphalt and tarmac mixtures. A small quantity of emery is used in coated abrasive products, but its main use in the United States is wear-resistant floors and pavements. [1]
