Engineering Research Equipment: Refuse Shredder and High Performance Liquid Chromatograph

这是一个为购买工程研究设备提供支持的奖项，用于研究城市固体废物的厌氧分解。用这种支持购买的设备包括一个垃圾碎纸机和一个高速液相色谱仪系统。这一设备将用于若干涉及城市固体废物管理的研究项目，包括研究在卫生填埋场抑制固体废物分解、提高垃圾产生甲烷的技术、危险废物在垃圾填埋场的命运和城市固体废物各组成部分的生物降解特性。该奖项的提案是根据NSF 90-146研究设备资助计划的项目公告和指南提交的。研究结果有望为工程设计替代工艺和系统提供指导，以管理固体废物进入垃圾填埋场。

This is an award to provide support for purchase of engineering research equipment to permit study of anaerobic decomposition of municipal solid waste. The equipment to be purchased with this support consists of a refuse shredder and a high-speed liquid chromatograph system. This equipment will be used on several research projects involving management of municipal solid wastes including studies of the inhibition of solid waste decomposition in sanitary landfills, techniques to enhance methane production from refuse, fate of hazardous wastes in landfills and the biodegradative characteristics of individual components of municipal solid wastes. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in response to the Program Announcement and Guidelines NSF 90-146, Research Equipment Grant Program. Results are expected to provide guidance for engineering design of alternative processes and systems to manage solid wastes to placement in landfills.
