We all know firsthand what railway sleepers are. These are supports for rails that are used when laying railways. Various materials are used to produce sleepers. Thus, sleepers can be divided into several categories according to the type of material:

• Wooden.
• Reinforced concrete.
• Steel.
• Plastic.

Wooden railway sleepers

This category is most susceptible to wear and tear. Their service life is approximately 7 – 40 years, depending on the wood and loads. Wood has its advantages: it is easy to process, elastic, is a dielectric, that is, it does not conduct electricity, and almost does not react to temperature changes. But there are also disadvantages: wood is susceptible to rotting, especially at the junction with the rails.

Pine, spruce, fir and cedar are used for production. In order for the supports to last longer, they are impregnated with ZhTC antiseptics or oils.

More durable look. They are made using concrete and reinforcement to increase the strength of the supports. During production, the method of tensioning reinforcement is used, which in the process transfers stress to the concrete. In this way, reinforced concrete products are produced that have high strength. Thus, their service life is unlimited.

But this product also has disadvantages: since this type of sleepers is made from reinforced concrete, they are heavy, which is impractical, and there is also a possibility of fatigue crumbling of the concrete.

Steel sleepers

Made from bent profile. The undoubted advantage is the low weight. But, as you know, metal is highly susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, in temperate climates such supports are not used. They are used in countries with arid climates, such as Morocco. They are used in steelmaking because they are resistant to stress and high temperatures. There, wooden ones can burn, and reinforced concrete ones can delaminate.

Plastic sleepers are an innovative product and are rarely used on high-speed roads in Japan.

Disposal and recycling of sleepers

Every year, a large number of used railway supports remain on the railways. Let's consider recycling wooden ones.

Since they are impregnated with oils, which are toxic substances, such sleepers are classified as hazard class 3. Their disposal occurs using the following methods:

1. They burn it, but this causes damage to the environment, since the wood is saturated with toxic substances.
2. Subjected to gasification. Using this method, the degree of neutralization is increased.
3. Pyrolysis is exposure to high temperatures without air access. Prevents emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
4. Recycling – this involves the neutralization of toxic substances with which wood is impregnated and its subsequent processing, for example, into charcoal.

When it comes to recycling reinforced concrete supports, it all comes down to recycling them. Recycling reinforced concrete produces a large amount of secondary raw materials. Used or substandard reinforced concrete products are crushed into special installation. In this process, concrete is processed and metal reinforcement is separated from it.

Disposal of railway sleepers is one of the most global problems in the transport industry. Despite the fact that the main material of sleepers is wood, they cannot be called safe due to various chemical impregnations (most often it is poisonous creosote). If improperly disposed of, this substance can harm not only the environment, but also human health. Our company offers high-quality and inexpensive sleeper recycling services throughout Russia.

Recycling process

The simplest and most popular way to dispose of wooden railway sleepers is burning. However, due to the harmful substances released from the impregnation, it is still not completely safe. More acceptable is gasification - the process of converting fuel into a dust-like stream. Another equally popular and absolutely safe method is pyrolysis. Today, this is the most promising method of recycling Russian Railways sleepers, in which there are completely no emissions into the atmosphere. In addition, pyrolysis is very beneficial for enterprises, since in the future it is possible to use the products obtained during processing (fuel, gas, coal).

Disposal of sleepers: problems and solutions

The problem of disposal of sleepers impregnated with oil antiseptic is growing every year. Due to the overcrowding of regional disposal sites, railway units quite often store sleepers in places not intended for this purpose. This in turn can cause global environmental problems. In addition, such unauthorized burial is prohibited by law. Recycling used wooden sleepers closes the life cycle of the product and can also serve as an alternative energy source.

Cost of recycling wooden sleepers

Disposal of impregnated sleepers is more expensive than without a septic tank. This leaves an imprint on the final cost of the service. In general, our company offers a decent level of work at an affordable price. The cost of recycling wooden sleepers depends on several factors:

• Remoteness of the place where raw materials are collected;
• The chosen disposal method;
• Degree of processing;
• Volume of raw materials.

Disposal of railway sleepers is a pressing problem for our country. A huge number of old railway supports cannot simply be stored in landfills. Each type of sleeper requires specific methods of disposal and recycling.

Important! The issue of recycling railway supports is acute in Russia today. Used sleepers need to be disposed of as industrial waste in specialized landfills. However, the areas allocated for this are already overcrowded. Wooden supports impregnated with creosote, acetone and other antiseptics have to be stored in the wrong places, which, of course, causes damage to all living things. Also for this reason, environmental services issue fines to enterprises that own railway sleepers. Therefore, it is important to resort to methods of recycling and recycling different types of railway supports, solving the problem of their excessive accumulation and being an alternative way to produce energy and recyclable materials. Disposal and recycling of worn-out supports is carried out by special enterprises in compliance with safety regulations.

Disposal of wooden sleepers impregnated with antiseptic

All wooden supports are impregnated with antiseptics, which are toxins. Therefore, they are classified as waste hazard class 3. Disposal of wooden sleepers is carried out in several ways:

1. Burning. Is the most common method. Destruction of sleepers impregnated with creosote and other antiseptics by burning is not safe for the environment due to the release of a mixture of phenols, acetone and other toxins when burning such supports.
2. Using railway supports as building material. The method is not safe for human health.
3. Gasification. Allows you to significantly increase the level of neutralization of wooden supports.
4. Pyrolysis. It is carried out at high temperatures without oxygen. This method requires the creation of sealed conditions, which sharply reduces the level of harmful emissions into the environment.
5. Recycling.

Disposal of concrete sleepers

Disposal of reinforced concrete sleepers mainly consists of their recycling. Its essence is to separate concrete products into fractions: crushed stone and metal reinforcement. These obtained materials can already be used as recyclable materials. For example, a fraction of the metal is melted down, and crushed stone is used as a building material.

Recycling of steel sleepers

The use of steel supports in our country is extremely rare. main reason The reason why they should be disposed of is the appearance of a large amount of rust on them. Sometimes such supports are used as temporary tracks for railway lines of factories. The main way to dispose of this type of waste is to use it as scrap metal.

Recycling sleepers - a second life!

Interesting to know! Disposal of sleepers made of reinforced concrete and steel consists mainly of their recycling, as already mentioned above. Is it possible to “give a second life” to wooden railway supports?! Yes, you can. For example, it is possible to process sleepers into charcoal. This process is quite complex; it requires a special technology, which involves the following mandatory stages:

• through chemical reactions with specially selected reagents, they neutralize the dangerous compounds that make up creosote;
• the neutralized tree is sent for subsequent processing as recyclable wood.

Charcoal is obtained from processed wood by pyrolysis, which has wide applications (antiseptic, water absorbent, component of organic fertilizer). However, unfortunately, this method of processing wooden supports is not very common in Russia due to the high cost of the technology itself.

There is also another safe way to recycle wooden poles to make a cement additive. This process also occurs in several stages:

• first, all metal parts are removed from the supports; for this purpose, magnetic separation is used;
• then the wooden product is crushed to the desired fraction;
• crushed impregnated wood is combined with compounds that further reduce the toxicity of smoke;
• This mixture is burned at elevated temperatures in a cement kiln, and all hazardous compounds are destroyed.

This technology for processing timber beams used in the construction of railways makes it possible to obtain a useful additive - a mixture after combustion, which is used in cement production.

Landfilling of railway sleepers (especially wooden sleepers) is another major cause of environmental pollution. Therefore, today it is important to resort to smart ways of recycling each type of support. And it’s even better to recycle them to obtain other necessary materials.

The following short video describes how the disposal and processing of wooden sleepers occurs at one of the modern enterprises in Russia:

Ј¬"Still, weeks and years ran on, and my hair began to vail me with its fullness and its length; and now often I heard the word beautiful, spoken of my hair, and beautiful, spoken of myself. They would not say the word openly to me, but I would by chance overhear them whispering it. The word joyed me with the human feeling of it. They were wrong not to say it openly to me; my joy would have been so much the more assured for the openness of their saying beautiful, to me; and I know it would have filled me with all conceivable kindness towards every one. Now I had heard the word beautiful, whispered, now and then, for some months, when a new being came to the house; they called him gentleman. His face was wonderful to me. Something strangely like it, and yet again unlike it, I had seen before, but where, I could not tell. But one day, looking into the smooth water behind the house , there I saw the likenessЎЄsomething strangely like, and yet unlike, the likeness of his face. This filled me with puzzlings. The new being, the gentleman, he was very gracious to me; he seemed astonished, confounded at me; he looked at me, then at a very little, round pictureЎЄso it seemedЎЄwhich he took from his pocket, and yet concealed from me. Then he kissed me, and looked with tenderness and grief upon me; and I felt a tear fall on me from him. Then he whispered a word into my ear. "Father," was the word he whispered; the same word by which the young girls called the farmer. Then I knew it was the word of kindness and of kisses. I kissed the gentleman.This solecism once vividly and practically apparent; then comes the earnest reperusal of the Gospels: the intense self-absorption into that greatest real miracle of all religions, the Sermon on the Mount. From that divine mount, to all earnest loving youths, flows an inexhaustible soul-melting stream of tenderness and loving-kindness; and they leap exulting to their feet, to think that the founder of their holy religion gave utterance to sentences so infinitely sweet and soothing as these sentences which embody all the love of the Past, and all the love which can be imagined in any conceivable Future . Such emotions as that Sermon raises in the enthusiastic heart; such emotions all youthful hearts refuse to ascribe to humanity as their origin. This is of God! cries the heart, and in that cry ceases all inquisition. Now, with this fresh-read sermon in his soul, the youth again gazes abroad upon the world. Instantly, in aggravation of the former solecism, an overpowering sense of the world"s downright positive falsity comes over him; the world seems to lie saturated and soaking with lies. The sense of this thing is so overpowering, that at first the youth is apt to refuse the evidence of his own senses; even as he does that same evidence in the matter of the movement of the visible sun in the heavens, which with his own eyes he plainly sees to go round the world, but nevertheless on the authority of other persons,ЎЄthe Copernican astronomers, whom he never sawЎЄhe believes it not to go round the world, but the world round it. Just so, too, he hears good and wise people sincerely say: This world only seems to be saturated and soaking with lies; but in reality it does not so lie soaking and saturate; along with some lies, there is much truth in this world. But again he refers to his Bible, and there he reads most explicitly, that this world is unconditionally depraved and accursed; and that at all hazards men must come out of it. But why come out of it, if it be a True World and not a Lying World? Assuredly, then, this world is a lie. "What"s that about the Apocalypse?" here, a third time, came from the berth.Ў®And misfortunes, too,ЎЇ answered Lady Windermere, Ў®any amount of them. Next year, for instance, I am in great danger, both by land and sea, so I am going to live in a balloon, and draw up my dinner in a basket every evening. It is all written down on my little finger, or on the palm of my hand, I forget which .ЎЇ

Stark desolation; ruin, merciless and ceaseless; chills and gloom,ЎЄall here lived a hidden life, curtained by that cunning purpleness, which, from the piazza of the manor house, so beautifully invested the mountain once called Delectable, but now styled Titanic.As the can circulated, Jermin, leaning on the table and occupying the captain"s arm-chair secured to the deck, opened his mind as bluntly and freely as ever. He was by no means yet sober. "Where are we to find them?" half-rebukefully echoed the young Episcopal clergymen."I will go find one to begin with," he quickly added, and, with kind haste suiting the action to the word, away he went.Ў®But surely that is tempting Providence, Gladys.ЎЇ

єй¶амі ЈєAt last we got as far as the Narrows, which every body knows is the entrance to New York Harbor from sea; and it may well be called the Narrows, for when you go in or out, it seems like going in or out of a doorway; and when you go out of these Narrows on a long voyage like this of mine, it seems like going out into the broad highway, where not a soul is to be seen. For far away and away, stretches the great Atlantic Ocean; and all you can see beyond it where the sky comes down to the water. It looks lonely and desolate enough, and I could hardly believe, as I gazed around me, that there could be any land beyond, or any place like Europe or England or Liverpool in the great wide world. It seemed too strange, and wonderful, and altogether incredible, that there could really be cities and towns and villages and green fields and hedges and farm-yards and orchards, away over that wide blank of sea, and away beyond the place where the sky came down to the water. And to think of steering right out among those waves, and leaving the bright land behind, and the dark night coming on, too, Seemed wild and foolhardy; and I looked with a sort of fear at the sailors standing by me, who could be so thoughtless at such a time. But then I remembered how many times my own father had said he had crossed the ocean; and I had never dreamed of such a thing as doubting him; for I always thought him a marvelous being, infinitely purer and greater than I was, who could not by any possibility do wrong, or say an untruth. Yet now, how could I credit it, that he, my own father, whom I so well remembered; had ever sailed out of these Narrows, and sailed right through the sky and water line, and went to England, and France, Liverpool, and Marseilles. It was too wonderful to believe.

"So long as no method of attractive labor has been devised, it will continue to be true that "there must be many poor in order that there may be a few rich;" a mean and hateful saying, which we hear every day quoted as an eternal truth from the mouths of people who call themselves Christians or philosophers. It is very easy to understand that oppression, trickery, and especially poverty, are the permanent and fatal appanage of every state of society characterized by the dislike of work, for, in this case, there is nothing but poverty that will force men to labor. And the proof of this is, that if every one of all the workers were to become suddenly rich, nineteen-twentieths of all the work now done would be abandoned. "

Lashed, and leaning over sideways against the taffrail, were three dark, green, grassy objects, that slowly swayed with every roll, but otherwise were motionless. I saw the captain"s, glass directed towards them, and heard him say at last, "They must have been dead a long time." These were sailors, who long ago had lashed themselves to the taffrail for safety; but must have famished There was ever a slight degree of affectionate patronizing in the manner of the resplendent, full-blown Mrs. Glendinning, toward the delicate and shrinking girlhood of young Lucy. She treated her very much as she might have treated some surpassingly beautiful and precocious child; and this was precisely what Lucy was. Looking beyond the present period, Mrs. Glendinning could not but perceive, that even in Lucy's womanly maturity, Lucy would still be a child to her; because, she, elated, felt, that in a certain intellectual vigor, so to speak, she was the essential opposite of Lucy, whose sympathetic mind and person had both been cast in one mold of wondrous delicacy. But here Mrs. Glendinning was both right and wrong. So far as she here saw a difference between herself and Lucy Tartan, she did not err; but so farЎЄand that was very farЎЄas she thought she saw her innate superiority to her in the absolute scale of being, here she very widely and immeasurably erred. For what may be artistically styled angelicalness, this is the highest essence compatible with created being; and angelicalness hath no vulgar vigor in it. And that thing which very often prompts to the display of any vigorЎЄwhich thing, in man or woman, is at the bottom nothing but ambitionЎЄthis quality is purely earthly, and not angelical. It is false, that any angels fell by reason of ambition. Angels never fall; and never feel ambition. Therefore, benevolently, and affectionately, and all-sincerely, as thy heart, oh, Mrs. Glendinning! now standest affected towards the fleecy Lucy; still, lady, thou dost very sadly mistake it, when the proud, double-arches of the bright breastplate of thy bosom, expand with secret triumph over one, whom thou so sweetly, but still so patronizingly stylist, The Little Lucy.ЎЈ TO THE ONLY BEGETTER OFЎЈ

"Pish! we were boys."Ј¬For us there is only one season, the season of sorrow. The very sun and moon seem taken from us. Outside, the day may be blue and gold, but the light that creeps down through the thickly-muffled glass of the small iron-barred window beneath which one sits is gray and niggard. It is always twilight in oneЎЇs cell, as it is always twilight in oneЎЇs heart. And in the sphere of thought, no less than in the sphere of time, motion is no more.

Their mode of dividing this tobacco was the rather curious one generally adopted by sailors, when the highest possible degree of impartiality is desirable. I will describe it, recommending its earnest consideration to all heirs, who may hereafter divide an inheritance; for if they adopted this nautical method, that universally slanderous aphorism of Lavater would be forever rendered nugatoryЎЄ"Expect not to understand any man till you have divided with him an inheritance."Ј¬And I remembered reading in a magazine, called the Sailors" Magazine, with a sea-blue cover, and a ship painted on the back, about pious seamen who never swore, and paid over all their wages to the poor heathen in India; and how that when they were too old to go to sea, these pious old sailors found a delightful home for life in the Hospital, where they had nothing to do, but prepare themselves for their latter end. And I wondered whether there were any such good sailors among my ship-mates; and observing that one of them laid on deck apart from the rest, I thought to be sure he must be one of them: so I did not disturb his devotions: but I was afterward shocked at discovering that he was only fast asleep, with one of the brown jugs by his side.ЎЈAnd poor Harry was as the Hebrews.

For companies and organizations in the field of railway construction and transport network maintenance, there are requirements for the disposal of worn out or unclaimed sleepers. Wooden sleepers today pose a huge threat to the environment; they are being abandoned, converting all railway tracks to concrete foundations. But dismantling old equipment requires a high-quality approach to disposal. It is worth taking a closer look at the reasons for the need for such a process.

Why should you recycle railway sleepers?

If the concrete elements of the supporting structure are simply broken down and subsequently used in construction for backfilling, then wooden products must be disposed of in environmentally friendly ways. Previously, such railway waste was simply burned. But today this is unacceptable, since the harm from the released substances has been proven and confirmed by research. The main aspects of influence are as follows:

• release of creosote during combustion, significant air pollution with toxic substances;
• infection air masses other toxic compounds of the phenolic group, acetone and other materials;
• combustion of coal oil, which was used to impregnate the wooden parts of the supporting structure;
• incomplete processing of some chemical elements, subsequent contamination of the landfill.

All this leads to the fact that during active processing through simple combustion, sleepers continue to pollute the environment without generating solid waste. Today, there are more adequate approaches to the procedure for recycling wooden sleepers, while the price of the process remains affordable, and the company must issue a full package of documents to the customer upon completion.

Recycling sleepers - the main tasks of a complex process

There are several options for chemical treatment of products before destruction. These procedures are carried out to neutralize the main harmful substances. Pyrolysis, for example, completely neutralizes some resins and chemicals that are not destroyed during combustion. When professionally recycling wooden sleepers, you can get the following results:

• absolute destruction of all chemical compounds unacceptable to nature even before processing;
• shredding wood residues that no longer pose a significant threat to the environment;
• destruction of all solid residues by combustion in special ovens without air pollution;
• the use of accelerated decomposition methods with the addition of reagents for destruction without access to oxygen.

All these processes are used in professional companies for the disposal of hazardous waste. Sleepers belong to the third class of substances in terms of the danger of environmental pollution. This is toxic waste from transport networks that needs to be recycled. The need for such processes is also specified in law; for violation of such requirements there are a number of sanctions and fines.
