An energy-saving and environment-friendly garbage disposal box capable of dispersing garbage, applicable to various areas, includes a domestic garbage disposal unit, a recyclable garbage disposal unit and a plastic garbage disposal unit. A pedal mashing device is provided to a rear portion of the domestic garbage disposal unit. The garbage disposal box is covered by solar panels and a computer display. An auto electronic weighing plate is provided to top the garbage disposal box. A set of mashing cutters is disposed inside the garbage disposal box to connect spatially with a fermentation area, and an organic fertilizer area is located under the fermentation area. The recyclable garbage disposal unit is furnished with a garbage entrance at an upper portion thereof and three external drawers corresponding to three recycle chambers. The plastic garbage disposal unit covered by solar panels is furnished thereinside a gravity compression iron and a battery set. The garbage disposal box provided by this patent disclosure and featured in flexible garbage dispersing functions can resolve environmental degradation caused by garbage piling and environmental pollution caused by the current garbage disposal means, and can also provide a possibility to maximize the garbage utilization rate.

A method and apparatus for producing liquified Alternative Supplemental Cementitious Material (ASCM) from an uncured concrete slurry. Uncured concrete slurry is received into a receiving hopper, diluted with water, and pumped upward through a slurry discharge conduit to an aggregate separator that screens the gravel and sand for separate discharge. The remaining ASCM entrained water flows into a holding tank. The ASCM settles to the lower portion of the holding tank. The holding tank stores the remaining water for re-use diluting uncured concrete slurry. The ASCM is liquified and moved towards the ASCM discharge port by an agitator system located in the bottom of the holding tank. From the discharge, a pump delivers the liquified ASCM through a conduit for discharge. The discharged ASCM can be used as a partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement and as an ingredient in flowable fills.

This invention is directed to a method for recovering valuable metals from spent lithium-ion-batteries using CO.sub.2/CO/H.sub.2O gas mixture, or reducing gas comprising CH.sub.4, or solid carbon or combination thereof.

An apparatus for carrying out size reduction of battery materials under immersion conditions can include a housing configured to hold an immersion liquid comprising at least one of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide. A first feed chute may define an opening therein for receiving battery materials of a first type into the housing and a first submergible comminuting device may be disposed within the housing and submerged in the immersion liquid to receive the battery materials of the first type from the first feed chute. The first submergible comminuting device may be configured to cause a size reduction of the battery materials of the first type to form a first reduced-size battery material.

An eggshell membrane separation system of separating a broken egg into an eggshell and an eggshell membrane (100) including: a pulverizer (10) that pulverizes the broken egg; an alkaline water tank (20) in which alkaline water is synthesized; and a separation tank (30) in which the alkaline water is supplied from the alkaline water tank and the broken egg pulverized by the pulverizer is separated into the eggshell and the eggshell membrane, wherein the alkaline water discharged from the separation tank is returned to the alkaline water tank (20) and reused. The eggshell membrane separation system can improve a separation property of an eggshell and an eggshell membrane and smoothly discharge the eggshell precipitated in the separation tank.

In a process for transforming waste material into useful material, a quantity of waste material such as household garbage or municipal solid waste is provided. The waste material is pre-shredded into pre-shredded waste material. The pre-shredded waste material is processed to at least partially remove one or more selected material components, thereby providing a processed pre-shredded waste material. The processed pre-shredded waste material is then secondarily shredded into secondarily shredded waste material which is then hydrolyzed under pressure greater than ambient pressure to create an aggregate cellulose pulp.

A waste management system, primarily intended to be for waste floating in water, though it can also be used on land. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon and water may be recycled. The carbon may be used as fuel by the ship. Water may also be used by the ship or returned to the ocean in a non-toxic condition.
