Abstract |
The installation of a Small Particle Studies Laboratory and the familiarization with the principles, techniques, and instrumentation of industrial microscopy and Coulter Counter technology are described. The development evaluation, and utilization of procedures for preparing a library of solid waste samples, permanent sample mounts, and photomicrographs are reviewed. A tentative classification or identification of typical particles in six solid waste samples is reported. Additional investigations, designed to develop and evaluate procedures for determining the particle size distribution of incinerator fly ash samples and for identifying and estimating specific components of particular significance in the management or recovery of solid wastes are proposed. |
