Glossary

Ceramic glass:

Transparent ceramic products characterized by an appearance similar to those of glass. They are characterized by an amorphous phase and one or more crystalline phases.

Classification:

Set of mechanical actions carried out in dry or wet conditions, addressed to perform a “classification” of particles systems according to their morphometrical (e.g.,size-shape) attributes.

Comminution:

Set of mechanical actions specifically carried out to perform a reduction of waste materials in particles of suitable size and shape to be properly handled and processed in order to liberate/remove contaminants.

Cullet:

Particulate solid product resulting from collection-comminution of waste glasses.

De-inking:

Mechanical process finalized to remove “ink-particles” and “stickies” from waste paper.

Ferrous metal:

Magnetic metals mainly composed of iron.

Flotation:

Mechanical process finalized to perform a selective separation of hydrophobic from hydrophilic materials. Hydrophobic...
