Determination of the lengths of rebounds of elastic components of solid municipal waste

The article deals with the theoretical substantiation of the process of sorting elastic components of waste. The experience of foreign countries shows that the use of waste, their segregation into useful components used as secondary raw materials at enterprises, allows not only to extract financial benefits from waste but also to clean up the environment. The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate the process of sorting elastic components of waste from the rest of the mass. The theoretical and empirical methods were used in the study, in particular: a review and analysis of the literature sources, logical and system analysis, the main provisions of the theory of impact. The regulatory legal framework in the field of waste management in the Republic of Uzbekistan has undergone significant changes. There appeared laws, resolutions and decrees of the President, projects aimed at solving the problem of waste separate collection. The existing technology for the processing of solid municipal waste (SMW) in the Republic of Uzbekistan, in particular, in the city of Tashkent, does not allow the mechanized extraction of valuable components from the composition of SMW. In this regard, an analysis of the existing designs of sorting devices was conducted and a prototype was selected for the development of the design of a sorting device. A significant difference in the values of the rebound lengths of elastic components of waste from non-“elastic” ones was theoretically determined and experimentally confirmed.
