Electricity can be produced by burning "municipal solid waste" (MSW) as a fuel. MSW power plants‚ also called waste to energy (WTE) plants‚ are designed to dispose of MSW and to produce electricity as a byproduct of the incinerator operation. The term MSW describes the stream of solid waste ("trash" or "garbage") generated by households and apartments‚ commercial establishments‚ industries and institutions. MSW consists of everyday items such as product packaging‚ grass clippings‚ furniture‚ clothing

Experiment Separation of Organic Compounds by Acid-Base Extraction Techniques 5 A commonly used method of separating a mixture of organic compounds is known as liquid-liquid extraction. Most reactions of organic compounds require extraction at some stage of product purification. In this experiment you will use extraction techniques to separate a mixture of an organic acid‚ a base‚ and a neutral compound. Organic acids and bases can be separated from each other and from neutral compounds
