    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

    If they are above these levels the waste must be taken to a hazardous waste disposal facility and the cost of disposal may increase from about $50.00/ton to as much as $1200.00/ton. As extremely contaminated material is expensive to dispose of, grading is necessary to ensure safe disposal and to avoid paying for disposal of "clean fill."

  4. Fineness modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fineness_modulus

    In general, however, a smaller value indicates a finer aggregate. Fine aggregates range from an FM of 2.00 to 4.00, and coarse aggregates smaller than 38.1 mm range from 6.75 to 8.00. Combinations of fine and coarse aggregates have intermediate values. [1]

  5. Hazardous waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazardous_waste

    An incinerator can be built directly at a hazardous waste site, or more commonly, waste can be transported from a site to a permanent incineration facility. [8] The ash and gases leftover from incineration can also be hazardous. Metals are not destroyed, and can either remain in the furnace or convert to gas and join the gas emissions.

  6. Volcanic ash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_ash

    Since coarser and denser particles are deposited close to source, fine glass and pumice shards are relatively enriched in ash fall deposits at distal locations. [27] The high density and hardness (~5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale ) together with a high degree of angularity, make some types of volcanic ash (particularly those with a high silica ...

    Hammes is credited with inventing the "in-sink" food waste disposal in 1927 for his wife. It works by grinding and shredding solid food waste, using centrifugal force. [1] [2] He spent ten years improving the design and went into business selling the appliance. His company was called the In-Sink-Erator Manufacturing Company. [3]

  8. Coal refuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_refuse

    Coal refuse, also known as coal waste, rock, slag, coal tailings, waste material, rock bank, culm, boney, or gob, is the material left over from coal mining, usually as tailings piles or spoil tips. For every tonne of hard coal generated by mining, 400 kg (880 lb) of waste material remains, which includes some lost coal that is partially ...

  9. Chemical waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_waste

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits disposing of certain materials down drains. [4] Therefore, when hazardous chemical waste is generated in a laboratory setting, it is usually stored on-site in appropriate waste containers, such as triple-rinsed chemical storage containers [5] or carboys, where it is later collected and disposed of in order to meet safety, health, and ...
