A waste treatment system for separating contaminants including per-fluoroalkyl and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from bulk solid waste (12). A preparation module (9) having a bulk material separator separates oversize material (14) from bulk solid waste (12). A physical separation module (13), located down-stream of the preparation module (9), separates the bulk solid waste (12) based on particle size using physical and/or hydrodynamic and/or density separation techniques. An extraction/chemical separation module (19), located downstream of the physical separation module (13), adds leachate and/or extractant to separate the contaminants from a slurry output from the physical separation module (13), into a fines output and a contaminated water solution. A water circulation system (21) supplies water to the physical separation module (13) and the extraction/chemical separation module (19), the water circulation system including at least one water treatment process, the treated water being recycled and recirculated within the waste treatment system.

The present invention relates to a method for municipal solid waste (MSW) reclamation in a continuous or discontinuous process first for converting said waste into organic biomass and subsequently extracting and recovering the most chemical compounds contained in said biomass possible, such as triglycerides, sugars and proteins. Therefore, the invention is comprised in the field of recycling, transforming solid waste into reusable solids and biofuels.

A device and method for preparing a sample for solid-liquid or liquid-liquid extraction are provided. In one embodiment, a device includes a sealed container including an opening for receiving a solid sample and a reservoir. The reservoir includes a solvent or is adapted to receive a solvent. The solid sample and the solvent are mixed in the reservoir and to concentrate at least one component of the sample into the solvent within the reservoir. The concentrate is settled into a solvent layer within the container. The solvent layer is sampled via a port. A method includes introducing a solid sample to a solvent; creating a solution by mixing the solid sample with the solvent; allowing the solvent solution to settle into at least one layer; and sampling within at least one layer.

The present invention concerns a facility for cleaning cigarette butts, including a treatment tank configured to treat the cigarette butts in order to extract therefrom fibres to be depolluted, and depollution means configured to depollute the fibres by placing them in contact with a fluid in the supercritical state, referred to as supercritical fluid.

Provided is a method for producing lithium hydroxide, which can obtain lithium hydroxide from lithium sulfate with a relatively low cost. A method for producing lithium hydroxide from lithium sulfate includes: a hydroxylation step of allowing the lithium sulfate to react with barium hydroxide in a liquid to provide a lithium hydroxide solution; a barium removal step of removing barium ions in the lithium hydroxide solution using a cation exchange resin and/or a chelate resin; and a crystallization step of precipitating lithium hydroxide in the lithium hydroxide solution that has undergone the barium removal step.

A landfill gas recovery system includes a waste layer disposed in a landfill and a capping layer overlying the waste layer. The capping layer includes a cured sealing layer and a loose fill layer between the waste layer and the cured sealing layer. The loose fill layer includes a granular fill material. The cured sealing layer includes a composite of the granular fill material and a cured water soluble polymer. The cured sealing layer is substantially impermeable to landfill gases formed within the waste layer.
