Record 2 2022-05-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bast Fibres (Textiles)
  • Fibre Crops
CONT

The preliminary mechanical processing of the dried [hemp] stalks involves some fairly vigorous handling of the raw material, including breaking, scutching and the separation of the line fibres from the tow and other by-products. The stronger, more solid fibre bundles keep their original lengths and parallelism. During breaking and scutching the weaker and shorter fibres(tow), especially those at the foot of the stalks, break away and are removed together with the hurds, dust, soil, etc.... The hurds are removed pneumatically and may be sold for use as natural fertiliser, for the heat insulation of buildings, as fuel or as animal litter... The hemp tow is then passed through a conveyer drier that can use either hot or cold air.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fibres textiles libériennes
  • Culture des plantes textiles
DEF

Résidu fibreux et grossier de la filasse [de chanvre].

Record 3 2011-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Exhaust Systems (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

[The barge landing site] would subsequently reduce the amount of traffic required to travel through Inuvik, reduce the potential for project-related traffic incidents, further reduce road deterioration, and reduce associated noise, dust and fuel exhaust emissions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Échappement (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

[Le site de débarquement de barges] réduirait par la suite le nombre de véhicules qui traverseraient Inuvik, le risque d'accident de la route lié au projet, la détérioration de la route ainsi que le bruit, la poussière et l'émission de gaz d'échappement afférents.

Record 6 1993-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
CONT

Fluid Bed Calciner. A fluidized bed reburning system... The exhaust gases from the fluid bed are used to dry the lime mud, which is then collected in two cyclones and discharged into a surge bin. The dry lime mud is blown into the calcination bed where the fuel is being burned, and is almost instantaneously transformed into lime pellets. The heavy pellets fall into the cooling compartment, while the lighter dust is recycled with the air for drying the mud.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
CONT

Four à calciner à lit fluidisé [...] système de calcination des boues de chaux à lit fluidisé [...] Les gaz s'échappant du lit fluide sont utilisés pour sécher la boue, qui est ensuite récupérée dans deux cyclones et rejetée dans une capacité tampon. La boue déshydratée est soufflée dans le lit de calcination où on brûle un combustible; elle se transforme presque instantanément en boulettes de chaux. Les boulettes assez lourdes tombent dans le compartiment de refroidissement, alors que les poussières sont recyclées avec l'air pour sécher la boue.

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Preparation and Mixing
  • Air Pollution
CONT

Stone dust, fly ash, soot, and unburned droplets of fuel oil are the main types of particulate resulting from the operations of hot-mix asphalt paving plants. The predominant particulate emission is stone dust and its major source is the dryer. Other sources of particulate emissions include the screens, open bucket elevators, weigh hoppers, asphalt heaters, storage piles and bins, and traffic dust from the yard. Particulates from the dryer are normally termed "dryer dust", those from the screen cover, weigh and mix area, and hot material elevator are usually called "fugitive dust".

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Pollution
  • Waste Management
CONT

The use of sludge to generate energy is generally an intermediate stage only. Sludge is very rarely used as a fuel, and this application is confined to previously-dried sludge obtained from the sedimentation of water containing a very large proportion of coal dust... and oily or greasy suspensions recovered by flotation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'eau
  • Gestion des déchets
CONT

L'utilisation des boues à des fins de production d'énergie n'est en général qu'une étape intermédiaire. Leur emploi comme combustible est excessivement rare et se limite seulement aux boues préalablement déshydratées provenant de décantation de certaines eaux très chargées en poussière de charbon [...] ou à des suspensions huileuses ou à des graisses récupérées par flottation.
