Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5732019
;
As part of its mission to investigate and encourage recovery and recycling technologies, the Bureau of Mines studied the feasibility of recovering metal and nonmetallic mineral values from municipal solid waste. The bulletin reviews Bureau research conducted primarily between 1966 and 1979, which covered various aspects of recycling municipal solid waste and included operation of both a municipal incinerator residue and a raw (unburned) refuse continuous-separation pilot plant. The report describes the products recovered from incinerated and raw refuse and research in upgrading, refining, and/or utilizing the various metal and mineral products.
