In this study, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was pyrolyzed with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to capture the generated hydrogen (HCl) gas as (NaCl) and carbonize organic contents generate fuel gases such (H2) methane (CH4). addition, pyrolysis behavior of PVC NaOH, its application copper recovery from thin PVC-coated tinned multiwire cables were examined. With an increase in temperature, released HCl at a...

BACKGROUND Polyvinyl chloride is used in production and manufacturing of many essential tools (e.g. plastic pipes, photography films, etc.). Its production is impossible without the use of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which can cause liver damage in long-term. In this study we intend to assess the effects of mild to moderate long term exposure to VCM on liver and to assess the importance of li...

Surface modification of biomaterials is a promising approach to control biofunctionality while retaining the bulk biomaterial properties. Perlecan major proteoglycan in vascular basement membrane that supports low levels platelet adhesion but not activation. Thus, perlecan bioactive for blood-contacting applications. This study furthers mechanistic understanding interactions with by establishin...

The fabrication and development of two polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane sensors for assaying phenobarbitone sodium are described. Sensors 1 and 2 were fabricated utilizing β- or γ-cyclodextrin as ionophore in the presence of tridodecylmethylammonium chloride as a membrane additive, and PVC and dioctyl phthalate as plasticizer. The analytical parameters of both sensors were evaluated according ...

ABSTRACT Tomato fruits are highly perishable. In this sense, adopting techniques to maintain and extend its shelf life is essential. Recent studies have used microalgae as an edible coating for fruit, it a nutrient-rich alternative reduces fruit mass loss respiration, delaying senescence. The aim of study was evaluate the application microalgae-based coatings with or without use modified atmosp...

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is a complex plastic system. Individual components of the PVC system, including residual vinyl chloride monomer (RVCM) and certain additives, may pose risks of harm to human health. There have been significant reductions in the RVCM content of PVC resin since 1974, reducing the cancer risk of workers in PVC fabrication plants and consumers of PVC products. A "no-effec...

In this study, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene (PS) polymers, which do not form a compatible blend with each other in certain concentration ranges are widely used on an industrial scale, were used. The range these two polymers determined viscometrically, maleic anhydride-styrene (MAS) copolymer was added as compatibilizing agent range. the polymer pair did 1.5 2.0 g dL-1. range, 5.0 10...

Plastic debris is considered an emerging aquatic pollutant as alarming number of reports are indicating the environmental contamination with such agents. Ichthyofauna has been subjected to increasing plastic pollution over past years, which led detrimental effects in food chain, and consequently general health ecosystems. In this study, we exposed juvenile specimens Oreochromis niloticus polyvi...

The importance of developing innovative support structure for underground mines has drawn much attention with the depletion shallow resources. This paper presents a hybrid tubular standing consisting an exterior container made polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) while infill is coal rejects based backfill material. FRP jacket featured high strength-to-weight ratio attach...
