Managing Marine Plastic Pollution: Policy Initiatives to Address Wayward Waste

Pyrolytic Waste Plastic Oil and Its Diesel Blend: Fuel Characterization

The authors introduced waste plastic pyrolysis oil (WPPO) as an alternative fuel characterized in detail and compared with conventional diesel. High density polyethylene, HDPE, was pyrolyzed in a self-designed stainless steel laboratory reactor to produce useful fuel products. HDPE waste was completely pyrolyzed at 330-490°C for 2-3 hours to obtain solid residue, liquid fuel oil, and flammable ...

Marine pollution. Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean.

Plastic debris in the marine environment is widely documented, but the quantity of plastic entering the ocean from waste generated on land is unknown. By linking worldwide data on solid waste, population density, and economic status, we estimated the mass of land-based plastic waste entering the ocean. We calculate that 275 million metric tons (MT) of plastic waste was generated in 192 coastal ...

Integrated Environment for Data Management of Mining Waste Disposals

Researchers at the Geoengineering and Mineral Processing Study Centre of the Italian Research Council, have developed a database system integrated with a GIS (Geographical Information System),jor data collection on operational or closed waste disposal sites. This paper describes the objectives of the system, the data organisation, the structure of the database, the characteristics and functiona...

Fractional Distillation Process Utilized to Produce Light Fractional Fuel from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Waste Plastic

Plastics are not easily biodegradable; and because of these characteristics they can remain under landfill and water for a very long period of time. All over the world only 6% of waste plastics are recycled and the rest of all waste plastics are dumped into landfills. An experiment was conducted in a laboratory scale batch process under Labconco’s fume hood utilizing low density polyethylene (L...
