Challenges to Increase Plastic Sorting Efficiency

Membrane reactors: A way to increase efficiency

Sorting Plastic Bottles for Recycling

Simulation of Magnetic Fluid Applied to Plastic Sorting

The efficient large-scale recycling of plastic waste is of increasing interest from an ecological and economic point of view but it represents a goal that has yet to be achieved by the recycling industry. European project W2Plastics (FP7) aims at a fundamental change of the present status of plastics recycling by applying the Magnetic Density Separation (MDS) technology as well as the Ultrasoun...

Sorting of plastic waste for effective recycling

Separation of plastic from various types of waste streams represents one of major problematic process in energy recovery through different thermochemical processes. The sorting of plastics is a very essential step in different waste management technique. Manual sorting is suitable when plastic component are present in large amount but it is a labor intensive process. In automated sorting techni...

Harnessing the microcirculation to increase dialysis efficiency.

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/journals/nef Dear Sir, Our efforts to increase the efficiency of the dialysis process have, so far, focussed on what happens within the dialyser. Augmenting such parameters as blood and dialysis fluid flowrates and dialyser surface area enhances small solute clearance. [1, 2] The hitherto neglected aspect is that the real membrane exchange area is not within...
