Abstract

Sorting of solid waste is now of paramount importance. Therefore, it is advisable today to spend more time developing new modern, efficient, environmentally friendly waste sorting systems in an automated mode. The development of modern technologies for sorting solid waste is becoming increasingly important, as classical methods of disposal are no longer able to meet the needs of mankind in this regard. An important aspect is both the sorting of waste with the possibility of further processing and the disposal process itself without significant harm to the environment. Currently, there is a significant number of methods and organizational procedures for sorting solid waste, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. An important element of solid waste sorting technologies should be the ability to quickly identify types of materials with their subsequent separation and disposal, which will significantly increase the productivity of this process. The purpose of the article is to improve the method of sorting solid waste on the basis of visual spectrometry. On the example of a specific type of solid waste, namely plastic, the capabilities of the proposed module for sorting plastics based on visual spectrometry are demonstrated. The paper also considers the main properties of spectroscopy in the field of infrared spectrum in order to develop a technology for identifying different types of plastics during their sorting for further processing or disposal. The method of solid waste sorting on the basis of visual spectrometry was proposed in the work, which allowed to obtain the optimal technological process of identification and separation of different types of plastics. The prototype of the module for sorting of plastics is developed, the basic principles of its functioning are considered.
