Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, the energy balance of many recirculation systems is below average or, in some cases, negative
For example, many recycling systems tend to misdirect recyclable material, which reduces the efficiency of downstream processing and wastes some of the valuable energy and/or material that cou...

[0030] I. Introduction and Definitions

[0031] Municipal solid waste ("MSW") (i.e., waste or garbage) is a category of waste material that consists primarily of household waste, sometimes with additional Commercial waste collected by the unit. They are in solid or semi-solid form and generally do not include industrial hazardous waste.

[0032] MSW contains many components that have energy values ​​if properly separated, isolated and processed. For example, MSW can contain large quantities of organic waste materials (e.g., food and kitchen waste, green waste (e.g., yard clippings, plants, vegetation, branches, lawns, etc.), paper, textiles, rubber, plastics, and Recycled materials (such as cardboard and some paper products, glass, ferrous, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, and certain plastics), and inorganic waste (such as concrete, dirt, rocks, and debris). Rather than grouping nearly all MSW categories together and sending them to landfill or incineration, any and ...

Abstract

Methods and systems for separating a mixed waste into a wet organic fraction, a dry organic fraction, and an inorganic fraction are achieved by (i) comminuting the mixed solid waste, (ii) fractionating the comminuted stream by size to produce two or more particle-sized waste streams, and (iii) processing one or more of the particle- sized waste streams using density separation to produce an intermediate wastes stream, and (iv) recovering a homogenous product (e.g., a recyclable material or an organic fuel) from the intermediate waste stream.
