Feedstock recycling of plastic wastes in cokemaking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The carbonization of coal to produce metallurgical coke is an alternative route for the feedstock recycling of plastic wastes of different structures and origins. Individual plastics or mixed plastics of domestic origin can be incorporated into typical coking blends as secondary raw materials. The effects of the composition of the plastic wastes on the thermoplastic properties of coal, coking pressure generation and the quality of the cokes produced at a semi-pilot scale are discussed. The plastic wastes studied were chosen because cover a wide spectrum in terms of polymer structure and composition (single and multicomponent wastes) in order to establish the right balance between coking pressure generation and coke quality parameters.

Recycling Techniques of Polyolefins from Plastic Wastes
Disposing of plastic wastes to landfill is becoming undesirable due to legislation pressures, rising costs and the poor biodegradability of commonly used polymers. In addition, incineration meets with strong societal opposition. Therefore, recycling either mechanical or chemical, seems to be the only route of plastic wastes management towards sustainability. Polyolefins, mainly polyethylene (LD...

Introduction: Poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the major plastic compounds which are used to make different productions such as fibers and food containers. Due to the stability of the plastic in the nature, as well as reuse ability of some plastic wastes, codification of an integrated program to collect and recycle these materials is necessary. Methods: In this cross-sectional stu...

The Plastic Waste phenomenon, which is the result of increasing poly (ethylene terephthalate) production and the wide range PET consumption in different industries, caused one of the major environmental concerns. Therefore,many different ways have been studied and applied for chemical recycling of PET. One of the most important ways to depolymerize poly (ethylene terephthalate) is the aminolysi...

Among the emerging environmental issues within Sub-Saharan Africa is the haphazard disposal of plastic waste, some of which end up downstream in the marine environment leading to negative effects. Notably there have been cases of humpback whales getting entangled in ‘ghost’ fishing nets, and endangered turtles ingesting plastic wastes in Watamu beach in Kenya. The aim of the current study was t...
