Organic waste is generally characterized by high volume-to-weight ratios, requiring implementation of minimization processes. In the present study, decomposition high-density polyethylene (HDPE), was studied under thermal and catalytic pyrolysis conditions on two experimental systems. Firstly, pyrolytic for HDPE were optimized in a laboratory-scale batch reactor. order to maximize gas yields mi...

Increasing production and use of various novel plastics products, a low recycling rate, lack effective recycling/disposal methods have resulted in an exponential growth plastic waste accumulation landfills the environment. To better understand effects waste, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) was done to compare disposal methods. LCA shows specific cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-cradle scenarios for landf...

monolithic aerogels of high molecular weight polyethylene (mw= 3x106- 6x106 g/mol) have been prepared by solvent extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide from thermoreversible gels prepared in decalin. these low density and highly porous aerogels present an apparent porosity up to 90%. the aerogel morphology observed by scanning electron microscopy (sem) is characterized by spherulitic stru...

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)-based composites with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ)and micronized copper quaternary (MCQ)treated wood fibers were manufactured through injection molding. The mechanical properties, water absorption, and biological resistance properties of the fabricated composites with different coupling treatments were investigated. Composites with ACQand MCQ-treated wood ha...
