Research and Laboratories Research and Laboratories Facilities in Resource Engineering Education is best served when there is minimum distinction between instructional and research laboratories. The facilities shown on this page are often used for both. Automated Waste Processing I study basic mechanics, develop and computerize mathematical models, and verify theoretical results with published or laboratory data. I have studied air classification, cyclone separation, trommel screens, and magnetic separation. I have developed the Solid Waste Processing Laboratories and the supporting Solid Waste Analysis Laboratory facilities.
Curbside recycling is very inefficient.
Disposable Materials Composition . This combination of policy and engineering grew out of a packaging study. Specification of the design and composition of disposable materials must incorporate the abilities of processing equipment to disassemble the products within the material recovery infrastructure. The mined materials must be processed for recovery. One often finds the same technology in Superfund remedial actions.
