Gypsum and organic matter distribution in a mixed construction and demolition waste sorting process and their possible removal from outputs
2010
Abstract With insufficient source separation, construction and demolition (CD therefore, most of the gypsum (52.4%) was distributed in this fraction. When this fine fraction was subjected to heavy liquid separation, 93% of the gypsum was concentrated in the density range of 1.59–2.28, which contained 24% of the total waste mass. Therefore, removing this density range after segregating fine particles should reduce the amount of gypsum sent to landfills. Organic matter tends to float as density increases; nevertheless, separation at 1.0 density could be more efficient.
