Textile industry has become an essential part of modern society, and waste production is an inevitable outcome of the developmental activities. Present paper outlines a direct approach toward a real problem of managing spinney waste fibers generated during textile industry. Simultaneously, shortage in landfill disposal space is another trouble associated with dumping of these hazardous wastes. ...

In the conducted investigations, aluminium dross, i.e. solid waste formed in the production and recycling of aluminium, was used as one of the basic raw materials to obtain a material characterised by insulating and exothermic properties, applied to heat riser heads in the process of iron or steel casting. The product was obtained by filtrating the slurry. In the raw mix, aluminium dross played...

The performance assessment of a geological repository for radioactive waste requires quantifying the geochemical evolution of the bentonite engineered barrier. This barrier will be exposed to coupled thermal (T), hydrodynamic (H), mechanical (M) and chemical (C) processes. This paper presents a coupled THC model of the FEBEX (Full-scale Engineered Barrier EXperiment) in situ test which accounts...

Shea, M. and Foland, K.A., 1986. The Marysvale Natural Analog Study: Preliminary oxygen isotope relations. In: N.A. Chapman and J.A.T. Smellie (Guest-Editors), Natural Analogues to the Conditions around a Final Repository for High-level Radioactive Waste. Chem. Geol., 55: 281--295. Rocks of and around the Marysvale mining area in central Utah, U.S.A., have experienced massive, subsolidus hydrot...

A parametric systems model of the ATW [Accelerator Transmutation of (Nuclear) Waste] has been used to examine key system tradeoffs and design drivers on the basis of uni t cos ts . This model has been appl ied primarily to the aqueous-slurry blanket concept for an ATW that genera tes net -e lec t r ic power f rom the fissioning of spent reactor fuel. An important goal of this s tudy is the deve...

The paper gives some background information on the production of biogas using agricul(ural Waste. Studies on biogas production with water hyacinth conducted in NIFFR using the floating type biogas digester complete with gas holder and an experimental metal digester with a measuring cylinder as gas collector are highlighted. A proposal for the construction of a dome — type biogas digester at Rof...

During the downslope long-distance movement of debris avalanches, particles interact with each other in various modes, by rolling, sliding and colliding other. transport, grains may undergo breakage, changing size shape. However, research on avalanches at grain scale remains limited, particular, evolution morphology different scales, from overall form down to surface roughness, runout distance....

Eleven unique core samples from the National Radioactive Waste Repository of Hungary, Bátaapáti were studied in this work. The all cross granite–concrete interface and have been drilled around 275 m depth surface, 1–15 months after concrete injection. Phase analytical techniques, optical microscopy, SEM-EDS Raman-spectroscopy used for analysis interactions between granitic rock cementitious bui...
