The peeling member is disposed inside the inner tank. The switching mechanism is provided for switching between the state of rotating the peeling member in the interlocking manner with the inner tank and the state of being disconnected the peeling member from the inner tank. With the peeling member disconnected from the inner tank, one of them is rotated, the used paper diaper stored is peeled off from the inner surface of the inner tank, and then, the used paper diaper processed in the processing tank is discharged from the bottom of the processing tank to the take-out unit via the opening and closing unit.

Treatment technology directed to using mine waste as a raw material to manufacture a mine filling product for use as a suitable precursor product or mine filling product to be used as a backfill material to close a mine. The precursor product or mine filling product retains its metals and is not be able to generate acidity. According to the disclosure, the precursor product or mine filling product, when placed in a mine, may also remove metals from mine fluids in the mine it contacts, and still retain the metals it hosted when it was a mine waste prior to it being used as a raw material to manufacture the precursor stowing backfill product.

Ways of obtaining a mineral rich powder from an electronic waste substrate include a shredder configured to receive the electronic waste substrate and process the electronic waste substrate into a plurality of fragments. A mill is provided that includes a container configured to receive the plurality of fragments, the container including a milling media, the mill configured to abrade the plurality of fragments with the milling media to produce a milled product. A separator is provided that is configured to receive the milled product, where the separator is configured to apply a predetermined size selection to the milled product to provide a first output including a plurality of particles and a second output including a plurality of abraded fragments. A skid is coupled to and provides structural support for the shredder, the mill, and the separator.

A process for reducing microbial growth in solutions of sugars extracted from waste materials, the process comprising monitoring indicators of microbial growth in the solution in situ and administering an antimicrobial; a sugar substrate obtained by concentrating a solution of sugar treated using the process; an apparatus for extracting sugars from waste materials, the apparatus comprising a reaction vessel (10), one or more sensors (15,20) for monitoring indicators of microbial growth in the reaction vessel, a software for analysing signals from the sensor and a source of antimicrobial.

Treatment systems and methods for capable of extracting or extracting and degrading trapped PCBs within a variety of building materials.

A methodology for cleaning and upgrading any kind of tires (cars, motorcycles, trucks, etc.), any kind of waste lubricants (internal combustion engines, industrial parts), any kind of oils as well as plant and animal fats by means of removal of the inorganic elements (potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus and heavy metals such as Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn, Hg, Mn, etc.) and the simultaneous addition of new such as calcium, magnesium and ammonium, in order to produce a clean and upgraded rubber material, lubricant as well as fat/oil, which can be used as raw material in thermochemical conversion processes such as flash (t<1 sec)/fast pyrolysis.

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for recovering metals from lithium-ion batteries, and specifically to methods and systems for recovering cobalt and nickel jointly in metallic form via electrowinning processes. The present disclosure further provides methods and systems for preparing lithium-ion battery materials for use in metal recovery processes.

The present invention relates to a method for fabrication of blue-fluorescent and non-toxic nanodiamonds from atmospheric particulate matters including total solid suspended particulate matter (TSPM) and particulate matter with size less than 10 (PM.sub.10). Mostly, the present invention provides an efficient mitigation process for particulate pollutant by conversion of these pollutants (PM and TSPM) into non-toxic high-value product such as nanodiamond by using the ultrasonic-assisted chemical oxidation method. This method is environmental friendly, simple, and biocompatible for the production of nanodiamonds from such atmospheric particulate matter.

This request is about a process for assembling recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste, such as debris and waste generated within the construction industry, such as: bad mixtures of concrete, bricks, tiles, stones, plasters, ceramics; as well as residues from the cleaning of concrete mixers in pre-mixed plants which produce pavements, foundry slags, mortars and/or concrete. Likewise, it relates to the formulation of said aggregates and to construction products obtained through them.
