The document discusses material recovery facilities (MRFs) which separate recyclable materials from solid waste for marketing to manufacturers. MRFs use both manual and mechanical methods of separation. Manual sorting removes contaminants while mechanical processes like size reduction, air classification, screening, magnetic separation, and eddy current separation separate materials based on physical properties. Together these methods efficiently recover resources from waste to support recycling.
A materials recovery facility is a specialized plant that receives, separates and prepares recyclable materials for marketing to end-user manufacturers.
There are three types of MRF:
Clean MRF
Dirty MRF
Wet MRF

Presentation - Waste Management in Petroleum Refinery.OmZavare
A Presentation on 15 Days Virtual Internship (due to COVID-19) on Petroleum Refinery Waste Management by me in my 5th Semester of Petrochemical Engineering.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
3. Introduction
A materials recovery facility is a specialized plant that
receives, separates and prepares recyclable materials
for marketing to end-user manufacturers.
There are two types of MRF:
Clean MRF
Dirty MRF
4. Principle of Material Recovery Facility
• Mixed solid waste are separated based on their source for
recovery of materials.
• The process depends on degree of source separation of
waste.
• The nature and design of each unit process accommodate
the physical and chemical characteristics of the source
material.
• Resource recovery plays an important role in the
economies of developing nations
5. Process involved in MRF
Techniques
Manual methods
Mechanical methods
• Electromagnetic
separation
• Fluid dynamics
• Pneumatics
• Others
Processes:
• Size reduction
• Air classification
• Screening
6. Manual Processing
• Bulky items (appliances, furniture, etc.) and specified
contaminants (e.g., hazardous waste)
• Manual separation is applicable to the removal of
contaminants from source-separated materials
• Equipment involved in manual separation of materials
usually includes a sorting belt or table, which contains a
mixture of materials
• Hoppers or other receptacles for receiving removed items are
positioned within easy reach of the sorters.
7. Manual Processing
•
•
•
•
•
•
Newspaper (700 to 4,500kg/hr/person)
Corrugated (700 to 4,500kg/hr/person)
Glass containers (mixed colour) (400 to 800kg/hr/person)
Glass containers (by colour) (200 to 400 kg/hr/person)
Plastic containers (PET, HDPE) (140 to 280 kg/hr/person)
Aluminum cans
9. Size reduction Technique
• The term “size reduction” has a number of synonyms
in solid waste management, including “shredding”
and “grinding”.
• Reduces bulky items to particles, the sizes of which
are compatible with the processing equipment.
• This uniformity is a requirement of some mechanical
sorting systems
10. Size reduction Technique
• The hammer mill is a type of high-speed shredder
frequently used for size reducing solid waste.
• Low-speed, high-torque; flail mill-type shredders;
and shear shredders are also used in some cases for
size reducing solid waste.
• On the basis of orientation of the rotor -- namely,
horizontal and vertical.
13. Shear shredders
Shear shredder is also used to size
reduce mixed waste. This size reduction
device is characterized by its high
torque and low rpm.
The unit consists of two horizontal,
counter rotating shafts. Each shaft
contains cutters to tear and shear the
material.
In shear shredders, shear and
deformation
are
the
primary
mechanisms of particle size reduction.
The cutters typically operate within a
range of 20 to 70 rpm.
14. AIR classification
• Air classification is a process of separating categories of
materials by way of differences in their respective
aerodynamic characteristics.
• The aerodynamic characteristic of a particular material is
primarily a function of the size, geometry, and density of the
particles.
• The suspended fraction conventionally is referred to as the
“air classified light fraction” and the settled fraction is termed
“air-classified heavy fraction”.
• The confined volume in which the separation takes place is
called an “air classifier”.
16. Screening
• Screens are used for achieving efficient separation of
particles through dependence on differences between
particle sizes with respect to any two dimensions.
• Screening process: Oversized feedstock, Undersized
feedstock
17. Types of Screening
Trommel Screening:
• The trommel has proven to be quite effective and efficient for
processing mixed waste and other mixtures where large, flat
particles (e.g., paper) and aggregate-type particles (e.g.,
crushed glass) must be separated.
18. Types of Screening
Disc screen:
• Disc screens have been employed in many waste processing
facilities. The predominant applications to date are effecting
the separation of inorganic materials from refuse-derived fuel
fractions, from paper materials, or from wood waste.
19. Magnetic Separation
• Magnetic separation is a process used to segregate
magnetic (i.e., ferrous) metal from a mixture of
different types of materials, e.g., mixed waste or
commingled metal, glass, and plastic containers. The
process is technically simple and of relatively low
cost.
20.
21. Aluminium and Glass Separation
• The predominant non-ferrous metal represented in the
waste stream is usually aluminium, and it is oftentimes a
target for recovery.
• In the case of aluminium, heavy media and eddy current
separation are possibilities.
• Eddy current separation is, at present, the more
commercially feasible.
• Separation is brought about by the ejection of aluminium
particles from a moving waste stream due to the force
exerted on the metallic particles as they pass through an
electromagnetic flux generated by the equipment.
22. Conclusion
• By Material recovery facility the Waste
management system functions efficiently.
• MRF methods provides recycling of raw
materials for Industrial uses.
