Application to the separation of disaster waste using rotary crushing and mixing method

Abstract

The 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake and accompanying tsunami presented various geotechnical engineering issues. This paper discussed the separation of disaster waste. As a result, it is evident that the rotary crushing and mixing method can enhance the effectiveness of the separation process where soil and waste that is firmly attached to the waste or debris are ground down and pulverized (granulated) using power-driven chains to carry out the intended separation.
