ABSTRACT Solid Waste Management is an area that is drawing a lot of attention in urban areas. It is acknowledged that while the problem is acute‚ the financial support is inadequate. This project was conceptualized to demonstrate what could be done with waste generated locally‚ with minimal investments. This pilot plant is expected to provide significant impetus to the eco-friendly initiatives in the institution. The input to the system comes from the food waste that gets generated

types of solid waste. To handle it well‚ we used to categorize and separate the type of waste. In waste water treatment‚ we simply separate the pollution as municipal waste (more polluted) and runoff(less polluted). But in solid waste‚ we define it as three types of waste that is more detail then water. They are Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)‚ Construction Waste and Special Waste. We defined these wastes by their properties. The figure shows that we have successfully reduce the total solid waste

Lab report on separation of mixtures Purpose- The purpose of this lab is to separate or isolate the desired product from large amounts of solvent and by-products. It is also followed by a purification step that removes trace amounts of other substances from the final product. One of the experimental techniques that we used in the lab to separate or purify mixture is fractional crystallization. In the experiment we used fractional crystallization to resolve a mixture of salicylic acid and CUSO₄

FROZEN ROCK-SOLID At General Motors of Canada Ltd.‚ Nick Vanderstoop is in charge of implementing a system that he created to prevent the “erosion of knowledge”. He loves to scare the daylights out of GM executives and managers by telling them a true story about the company. The story goes something like this: Several years ago a worker at the head office of General Motors Canada Ltd. In Oshawa retired. Among the many tasks that were performed by him‚ one was particularly important. Every fall he

DISTILLATION- SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE Ronald Ogbu‚ Alex 27th Aug. 2013 Purpose: To separate mixture of acetone and toluene using simple‚ packed and unpacked distillation columns. Results and Discussion: There were three distillation setups: simple‚ unpacked and pack fractional. All three procedures had different distillation apparatus but the unknown mixture was the same for all. The unknown liquid in a 50 ml round bottom flask was heated in a heating mantle such that a

SUSPENDED SOLIDS 1.0 OBJECTIVE This objective of this experiment is to determine the quantity of suspended solids in polluted water samples. 2.0 INTRODUCTION Water quality is vitally important in our daily life. However‚ due to water pollution‚ the quality of water is questionable for safe usage. In order to determine water quality‚ one of the indicator and measurement that can be used is by suspended solids (SS). Suspended solids is one type of physical water-quality measurement. Suspended solids refer

March 2‚ 2011 Lab Report Physical Properties of Two Types of Solids SCH3U0 Maggie Liu Abstract The purpose of this lab is to study some of the physical properties of two types of solids – ionic and molecular. The samples used are sodium chloride (ionic) and camphor (molecular). The physical properties studied are odour‚ hardness‚ melting point‚ solubility in water and solubility in 2-propanol. It is observed that some of the physical properties of sodium chloride are no odours‚ hard‚ a
