A Method of Processing Waste Material Including a Super Absorbent Polymer

摘要

A method of processing waste material including a super absorbent polymer includes: shredding the waste material; applying a salt to the shredded waste material to deactivate the super absorbent polymer; dewatering the waste material following deactivation of the super absorbent polymer; applying a liquid biocide to the shredded waste material. The preferred salt is aluminium sulphate. The step of applying a liquid biocide to the shredded waste is provided after the step of dewatering the waste material in the preferred form.
