Recovery of antimony from antimony-bearing dusts through reduction roasting process under CO–CO_2 mixture gas atmosphere after firstly oxidation roasted

This paper mainly investigated the antimony recovery from antimony-bearing dusts through reduction roasting process after the dust firstly oxidation roasted.CO–CO2 mixture gas was used as reducing agent,and the antimony-containing phase was reduced into Sb4O6,volatilized into smoke,and finally recovered through the cooling cylinder.The antimony recovery rate increased from 66.00 wt%to 73.81 wt%in temperature range of 650 to 800°C,and decreased with temperature increased further to 900°C due to the reduction of Sb4O6 to the nonvolatile Sb.Similarly,the CO partial pressure also played a double role in this test.Under optimized conditions of roasting temperature of 800°C,CO partial pressure of 7.5 vol%and roasting time of 120 min,98.40 wt%of arsenic removal rate and 80.40 wt%antimony recovery rate could be obtained.In addition,the“As2O3”product could be used for preparing ferric arsenate which realized the harmless treatment of it.

Evaluating the treatment of E-waste──a case study of discarded refrigerators

Disassembly and recycling of E-waste creates a series of environmental problems. The selection of a technologically reliable, environmentally friendly, economically affordable and socially acceptable recycling technology for E-waste is a significant question. This study establishes a Monte-Carlo mathematical model of cost minimization, given the constraints of environmentally sound handling of the e-waste, in the context of Crystal Ball risk assessment and evaluation software. By following the streams of the different treatment processes, which consist of various technologies including disassembly, recycling and disposal, the econom-ics of various possibilities were identified and the optimal recycling technology proposed. The key factors of the proposed scenarios were determined by using sensitivity analysis. The results of this study show that, for discarded refrigerators, the operating life span plays the key role. The model supports maintenance and resale of the short lived refrigerators. For the longer lived refrigerators material recycling is recommended by the model. Sensitivity analysis shows that purchase cost, plastic sale price, condenser sale price and disassembly costs are the main effects. This study provides a significant technical support for policy making in E-waste management.

Direct oxygen removal from titanium aluminide scraps by yttrium reduction

Titanium aluminum(TiAl)scraps with a high oxygen content were treated with yttrium(Y)in a liquid chemical deoxidization process for recycling.The Gibbs free energy and the equilibrium constant of the deoxidization reaction were calculated,and the effects of the yttrium content and the system pressure on the oxygen content in the product were determined.The results showed that the oxygen in TiAl scraps could be removed by yttrium,and the oxygen content of the deoxidized TiAl scraps had only 10%of the original content after deoxidization.Furthermore,the oxygen content of the deoxidized TiAl scraps was decreased with the increase of yttrium addition.The higher the chamber pressure,the greater the oxygen content in the final TiAl alloys.These results were consistent with calculated values.The microstructure of the deoxidized alloys was akin to that of the original material;however,Y_(2)O_(3) particles were observed in the deoxidized alloys.

On the direct use of recovered scrap copper and saving copper with aluminum in the Chinese cable industry

The copper consumption by the Chinese cable industry amounted to 354×104 t in 2006, taking over 70 % of the total copper consumption in China in that year. At present, making copper rod directly from recovered scrap copper and saving copper with aluminum have become topics of general interests in the Chinese cable industry. The quality of the copper conductors in the industry is declining, resulting in sharp decrease in the rate of qualified wire and cable products. More and more copper wires are drawn from the rods made directly from scrap copper. The manufacturers know well some of the wires or rods are unqualified products though, they continue to use or produce products not complying with standards in order to make profits. Now the consumption of copper-clad-aluminum and copper-clad-steel is growing gradually. In 2006, the consumption of copper-clad-aluminum in China amounted to ca. 5×104 t. But in some applications, neither the common understanding between buyer and supplier nor the results of feasibility study are achieved in the product orientation and technical/economic feasibility in terms of saving copper with aluminum. This paper presents the status-quo, problems arisen and suggestions in terms of making copper rod directly from recovered scrap copper and saving copper with aluminum, in a view to promote these two topics of general interests to go toward a virtuous circle.

Informal Sector Solid Waste Collection and Recycling in Zaria, Nigeria

Management of solid wastes has become a critical issue for almost all the major cities in Nigeria. Although the responsibility for solid waste management remains primarily with the local government councils, several other stakeholders are playing significant roles in the system. In Zaria, the scavengers, waste pickers and collectors eke out a living by collecting waste and selling recyclable materials out of the urban solid wastes. The paper utilized data collected using questionnaire survey, in-depth discussion guides and open-ended interviews to examine the socio-economic characteristics, the functions, aspects of involvement of children, the working conditions and problems of waste collectors and pickers in Zaria. The paper found that the sector is the only means of solid waste collection in several sections of the town and is a source of livelihood for the poor. The activities help in realizing the aim of modern waste management, that is to move up the solid waste management hierarchy by reducing reliance on disposal and increasing recycling. In spite of these important functions, informal waste collection and recycling are associated with problems of unsanitary conditions and health risks to the communities and the waste collectors. Recommendations have been made to integrate the informal sector into the formal waste management by incorporating the employment needs of the urban poor and enhancing the efficiency of government in addressing the main problems.

Recycling and Reusing Heat Energy During the Production of Powdery Phospholipid

The temperature is 56.5℃when acetone gas is rectified during the production of powdery phospholipid. If heat exchanger is added, heat energy that is reclaimed can be used by other heaters. On the basis of exchange hot water （51℃） 4m3 every minute, a factory with the productivity of powdery phospholipid being 10 ton a day can save 533.2 ton standard coal which is equivalent to 746.48 ton common coal. If this technique of saving energy and reducing emission could be widely used in correlative industries of all over the country, economic benefits will be prominent.

Solid Waste Generation and Composition in Mexico： A Comparison between Rural and Urban Communities

This paper reports a generation and composition analysis of household solid waste in Mexico, using as a reference the characterization study performed in two communities, one urban and one rural. Data obtained are fundamental parameters for the planning of urban solid waste management systems in Mexico, complying this way with the established policy in the National Program for Waste Management and Prevention 2009-2012. The study was carried out during five days and two main parameters were assessed： （1） the daily generation rate per person and （2） the waste composition. The per capita waste generation was 0.958 kg for the urban community and 0.631 kg for the rural. The results showed that the mean composition of waste from both locations was statistically similar （a = 0.05）. In both locations the most important contribution was the fraction of food waste. In both locations more than 60% of the waste is potentially recyclable. The results of this study will be used by the municipal waste authorities in order to establish an integrated waste management plan.
