Industrial waste disposal in Japan is still a problem; its solution can be exemplified by Toyota's Motomachi integral disposal center, featuring waste segregation and pretreatment, incinerators, and wastewater cleaning. The remarkable Japanese effort in the development of elementary techniques and integrated systems for sorting municipal waste is illustrated by a few examples of such techniques and systems. A large part of Japanese refuse is incinerated in municipal incinerators inspired by W. European practice. Specific Japanese developments in the fields of incineration, gasification and pyrolysis are discussed and show an emphasis on fluidized bed techniques and on the problems of waste plastics and rubber disposal.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101078,"journal":{"name":"Resource Recovery and Conservation","volume":"3 3","pages":"Pages 275-306"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-3967(78)90011-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73995610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A primary determinant of the demand for waste paper was found to be the output of the packaging industry. Neither mechanical pulp prices nor waste paper prices appeared to have any significant effect on waste paper demand. Imports of waste paper appear to be determined to some extent (stock levels also being important) by the gap between forthcoming home supplies and forecasted usage requirements. On a limited price data base, it seems from our investigations that (with one exception in the period 1974/1975) the supply elasticity of waste paper in the United Kingdom is low, at least in the poorer quality grades. This would seem to be an important finding as it suggests that the opportunities for recycling waste paper might be substantially less than many have hoped.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101078,"journal":{"name":"Resource Recovery and Conservation","volume":"3 3","pages":"Pages 237-247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-3967(78)90008-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90816618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particle movements within the classification zone are described by two types of transport: a convective transport, which represents the average movement of the particles and is characterized by the mean absolute particle velocity <em>u</em>; and a mixing transport, which comprises all transport due to deviations from the average particle displacement and is characterized by the mixing coefficient <em>E</em>.</p><p>The main assumptions of the model are that particle inertia is negligible and that the transport parameters <em>u</em> and <em>E</em> are constant along the height of the classification zone. The removal of the particles from the classification zone is described by rate equations. At the heavy fraction exit the removal rate is assumed to be linearly proportional to the fall velocity of the particle and the relative particle concentration at the heavy fraction exit. At the light fraction exit the removal rate is assumed to be linearly proportional to the superficial air velocity and the relative particle concentration at the light fraction exit.</p><p>Expressions are derived for the separation curve and for the mean residence time of the particles. The mean residence time of the particles is an indirect measure of the throughput capacity of the classifier. The relation between separation efficiency and mean residence time of the particles is calculated. The theoretical concept is experimentally verified for particles with small inertia at low particle concentrations in the classification zone. On the basis of the relation between separation efficiency and mean residence time of the particles conclusions are drawn with regard to the design of vertical gravitational air classifiers for separating usable components from mixed municipal waste. Obviously, these conclusions are valid only within the assumptions made in the model. Examples of possible designs illustrate these conclusions. It can be concluded from theory that suppression of particle mixing and accelerated removal of the particles from the classification zone yields the highest separation efficiency at comparable particle residence times.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101078,"journal":{"name":"Resource Recovery and Conservation","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 129-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-3967(78)90001-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78178548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
