Describe how the moisture content of waste is determined.?
Define the term;
Waste to energy.
Summary:
Because of the amount of handling that occurs during material production, within warehouses, and during manufacturing operations, along with the handling of loading, unloading, and shipping, material mix-ups and mixed materials are not an uncommon occurence. Mixed materials also occur when industrial scrap is collected, or when discarded products are used a new raw material through recycling.
A case of mixed materials has been identified, and you have been called upon to devise a means of separation. Assume that you have the equipment to perform each of the tests described in our discussion. For each of the material combinations below, determine a procedure that could accomplish such a separation. Use standard data-source references to help you identify distinguished properties.
hot-rolled bars of AISI 1020 and 1040 steel
stainless steel sheets of Type 430 ferritic stainless and Type 316 austenitic stainless.
6061-T6 aluminum and AZ91 magnesium that have become mixed in a…
