Municipal solid waste conversion to energy

In recent years it has been recognised by an increasing number of nations that there is considerable energy potential within MSW. As a result many countries have established R,D& D programmes to examine methods of exploiting this potential. The IEA's MSW Conversion Activity was set up in 1986 to provide an infrastructure for sharing information and co-ordinating work in this area internationally. This Activity was extended in 1989 and currently a total of 9 nations participate in it.

To cope with the wide scope of the area (encompassing both biological and thermal processing of MSW) the Activity was divided into three subgroups or Expert Working Groups (EWGs). Each of these dealt with a distinct area of expertise:

1. •Downstream effects of source separation and screening of MSW

2. •Sampling and analytical protocols

3. •Landfill gas

In addition to these groups a central secretariat based at Harwell (UK) has provided guidance, established and administered databases of contacts and produced a series of national reports.

This paper describes the achievements of the Activity and discusses work proposed for the future.     

P、V操作的新探讨

P、V操作的概念以及使用在操作系统中非常重要、这里从一些新颖的角度来分析P、V操作，用P、V操作来实现进程的同步与互斥以及一种简单易行的逻辑关系则可以解决P操作嵌套时的执行次序。     

在建坝体中部分浆砌石的控制爆破拆除

某在建大坝部分浆砌石坝体因质量不合格须爆破拆除。保护余留坝体免受爆破影响是此工程的重点,为此,采用了小直径浅孔和微差爆破分层拆除方法,被拆除部分和被保护部分之间预留保护层。爆破施工过程中,利用超声波观测法和压水试验法判断被保护坝体是否受到了爆破震动的影响。根据判断结果,调整爆破参数,以减小爆破震动。文中论述了爆破参数的选择、保护层厚度的确定,同时介绍了安全控制技术、测点布置以及监测结果。     

浆砌石坝爆破拆除及监测技术

在陕西宝鸡峡引水枢纽浆砌石大坝改建过程中 ,Ⅱ坝段的全部以及Ⅵ坝段的部分须用爆破方法拆除。为了避免爆破震动对相邻的和保留的浆砌石坝体的不利影响 ,利用伸缩缝和预先开挖的沟槽隔震 ,采用了浅孔爆破分层拆除的方法 ,实施微差爆破 ,严格控制最大一段药量。爆破震动监测和声波测试的结果表明 ,保留的浆砌石坝体没有受到损伤

Development of Solar Drying

Importance of Solar Drying is increasing worldwide, especially in areas where the use of the abundant, renewable and clean solar energy is essentially advantageous. In the developing countries and in rural areas the traditional open-air drying methods should be substituted by the more effective and more economic solar drying technologies.

R&D needs should be considered in the basic research and experimental fields; in performance measurement; in the modelling-simulation-design and testing. The international co-operation of experts should be improved and more efforts would be needed in the policy and in the public information.
