Using a magnete to seperate plastics
No full textFundamental research into magnetic fluids spans more than thirty years, in the course of which a number of practical applications have emerged. Magnetic fluids become heavier when exposed to a magnetic field and can thus be used to separate materials of different densities, with lighter materials floating to the surface. However, since practical fluids took a long time to appear on the scene, development was faltering. Raw materials technologist Dr Peter Rem discovered a new approach, in which separation becomes a viable option for applications like the recycling of plastics and metals, and for refining diamonds. Instead of bulky, energy-hungry electromagnets, the system uses permanent magnets. A patent has been applied for
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Life Cycle Assessment of an Innovative Process for PVC Cables Waste Recycling
No full textCable recycling is an important source of high-grade secondary copper. Unfortunately, for every kg of copper produced, the cable recycling process also creates some 2 kg of residue: a complex mixture of PVC insulation, ill-liberated cable parts, very fine copper wire and a minor amount of other materials. This paper investigates two scenarios for this residue in terms of Life Cycle Assessment: land filling versus an innovative process that recycles over 90 mass% of the residue by means of a precise separation on density into a clean PVC fraction and a fine copper product. In order to compare the two scenarios and account for the quality issue of recycled materials, the land filling option is extended with the production of copper and PVC from primary resources, in quantities that represent the same market value as the recycled materials in the recycling scenario. The result of the analysis indicates that, despite this conservative approach, the recycling scenario reduces the relevant impacts by a factor of ten with respect to land filling

Quality control in the recycling stream of PVC cable waste by hyperspectral imaging analysis
No full textThe reduction of EOL concrete disposal in landfills, together with a lower exploitation of primary raw materials, generates a strong interest to develop, set-up and apply innovative technologies to maximize Construction and Demolition Waste (C&DW) conversion into useful secondary raw materials. Such a goal can be reached starting from a punctual in-situ efficient characterization of the objects to dismantle in order to develop demolition actions aimed to set up innovative mechanical-physical processes to recover the different materials and products to recycle. In this paper an innovative recycling-oriented characterization strategy based on HyperSpectral Imaging (HSI) is described in order to identify aggregates and mortar in drill core samples from end-of-life concrete. To reach this goal, concrete drill cores from a demolition site were systematically investigated by HSI in the short wave infrared field (1000-2500 nm). Results obtained by the adoption of the HSI approach showed as this technology can be successfully applied to analyze quality and characteristics of C& DW before dismantling and as final product to re-utilise after demolition-milling-classification actions. The proposed technique and the related recognition logics, through the spectral signature detection of finite physical domains (i.e. concrete slice and/or particle) of different nature and composition, allows; i) to develop characterization procedures able to quantitatively assess end-of-life concrete compositional/textural characteristics and ii) to set up innovative sorting strategies to qualify the different materials constituting drill core samples
