Electricity can be produced by burning "municipal solid waste" (MSW) as a fuel. MSW power plants‚ also called waste to energy (WTE) plants‚ are designed to dispose of MSW and to produce electricity as a byproduct of the incinerator operation. The term MSW describes the stream of solid waste ("trash" or "garbage") generated by households and apartments‚ commercial establishments‚ industries and institutions. MSW consists of everyday items such as product packaging‚ grass clippings‚ furniture‚ clothing

Thermochemistry Lab #2 - Heat of Reaction - Hess’s Law Return The foundation of the study of thermochemistry was laid by the chemist Germain Hess‚ who investigated heat in chemical reactions during the last century. One statement of the law that bears Hess’s name says: The enthalpy change for any reaction depends on the products and reactants and is independent of the pathway or the number of steps between the reactant and product. In this experiment‚ you will measure and compare

types of solid waste. To handle it well‚ we used to categorize and separate the type of waste. In waste water treatment‚ we simply separate the pollution as municipal waste (more polluted) and runoff(less polluted). But in solid waste‚ we define it as three types of waste that is more detail then water. They are Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)‚ Construction Waste and Special Waste. We defined these wastes by their properties. The figure shows that we have successfully reduce the total solid waste

Separating a Mixture of Compounds Exp. No. 2 name Chemistry 145 February 2‚ 2014 I. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to separate this mixture into components‚ determine the mass and percentage of each component. In addition to test the accuracy of an alternative method of subtraction to find the mass of the sodium chloride directly. Start with a mixture of sand (SiO2)‚ sodium chloride (NaCl)‚ and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl)‚ and use these separation processes: sublimation filtration
