In this study, municipal plastic waste is used in producing paving blocks. Binders the form of melted bottles (Polyethelene Terephthalate (PET)) and water sachets (High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) with river sand, were making Mix ratios; 1:1, 1:1.5 1:2 sand-plastic considered. Sand-cement mixes adopted as controls. 230mm x 140mm 55mm blocks cast, cured at ambient temperature tested for 72-hours...

Abstract This article presents the potential use of tree waste materials such as leaves (L), branches (B) and trunks (T) Azadirachta excelsa (Sentang) in production wood polymer composite (WPC). The WPC was fabricated from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bonding matrix, maleic anhydride (MA) coupling agent, Sentang particles (L, B T) filler, prepared using twin-screw extruder followed by injec...

Waste vehicle tires (WT) and high density polyetylene (HDPE) were pyrolyzed at 300, 500 700°C by slow pyrolysis. Solid product (pyrolysis char) collected pyrolysis char was used as adsorbent for COD Cr(VI) removal. The samples characterized BET, EDS, SEM XRD analysis. Based on the results of samples, WT 700 can be adsorbents Cr (VI) organic material adsorptions. removal efficiency investigated....

Improper processing of plastic waste can cause several environmental problems, such as air pollution, soil damage, respiratory diseases, and others. This research utilizes high density polyethylene (HDPE) a basic material for synthetic beams. The manufacture beams goes through stages, washing, drying, crushing, chopping, melting HDPE waste, well moulding into block. physical properties examined...

High-density polyethylene pipes (HDPE), crossbonded polyethylene pipes (PEX) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes for drinking water were tested with respect to migration of volatile organic components (VOC) to water. The odour of water in contact with plastic pipes was assessed according to the quantitative threshold odour number (TON) concept. A major migrating component from HDPE pipes was 2,4...

High density polyethylene (HDPE)/bamboo composites with different nanoclay and maleated polyethylene (MAPE) contents were fabricated by melt compounding. The compounding characteristics, clay dispersion, HDPE crystallization, and mechanical properties of the composites were studied. The equilibrium torque during compounding decreased with use of clay masterbatch and increased with the addition ...

In this work, a series of nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNTs) with several weight percentages (0.1, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.0 wt.%) were synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) technique. The N-MWCNTs were first characterized and then dispersed in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer matrix to form a nanocomposite. The HDPE/N-MWCNT nanocomposite films were prep...

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...

Asphalt functions as an aggregate binder in the road pavement mixture. The rapid construction of roads causes need for asphalt to increase, while its availability is limited. government promoting use natural (Asbuton) alternative oil asphalt. However, performance from Asbuton not good. Uneven content and hardness are factors causing it be less effective a binder. It necessary improve by modifyi...
