Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Diversity of Fungi in Landfill and their Potential to Degrade PlasticErman Munir, Yitro Pasaribu, Syahira Mubtasima, Ahmad Faisal NasutionPlastic has been known as a recalcitrant material and is very difficult to degrade in nature, resulting in its accumulation and threatening the environment if it is not managed properly. Studies on the degradation of plastics have been obtaining much attention recently. This study aimed to determine the diversity of fungi isolated from plastic wastes in landfills and to identify … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 1 Mar 2024 · 6,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign, Fabrication and Operational Evaluation of a Co-Pyrolysis System for Waste-Plastics Derived Fuels: A Study of Edo NorthKevin Otoikhian, Ubani Oluwaseun Amune, Kennedy Edogamhe et al.This research work designed, developed and assessed the performance of a co-pyrolysis system generating waste-plastic extract fuels from mixed Municipal Waste Plastics (MWP) while evaluating High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS) as the main municipal waste plastic sources. The materials selected for the reactor were carefully studied to meet the pyrolysis system's strength, operability and safety requirements. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of the Known Hypotheses of Lateral Buckling in the Elastic-Plastic States of Thin-Walled Semi-Slender ColumnsKrzysztof MurawskiStability of structures, as known, is a challenging issue, especially in critical engineering, i.e., in designing structures which in a wrong design process could cause a catastrophe. The avoidance of possible stability troubles is mandatory. In this study, the simplifications and hypotheses of loss of stability by lateral buckling in elastic-plastic states of semi-slender columns axially compressed by force are … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2020 · 6,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRecycle of Plastic Bag Wastes with Organic Wastes to Energy for RDF ProductionsRithy Kan, Chatchai Kungkajit, Thaniya KaosolThis paper studies the utilization potential of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) approach to recover the discarded plastics from Hatyai solid waste disposal site in Songkhla province, Thailand. The excavated plastic bag wastes from the closure landfill of Hatyai, unused plastic bag wastes and waste residues are the raw materials for RDF productions. The raw materials are characterized for proximate analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 30 Dec 2017 · 8,721 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Plastic Wedges on Whole Foot Radiograph in Anteroposterior and Oblique PositionsPoe Lorlorm, Winit Choiprasert, Montree Tungjai, Suchart KothanThe whole foot radiography may be taken twice with different exposure parameters. It produces two images in two radiation exposures; one is the metatarsal view of the phalange and the other is a tarsal view. The aim of this study was to study the effects of plastic wedges on whole foot radiography with one radiation exposure. The plastic wedge was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 27 Apr 2017 · 7,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMicrowave-Assisted Co-Pyrolysis of Bamboo Biomass with Plastic Waste for Hydrogen-Rich Syngas ProductionN. Saifuddin, P. Priatharsini, S.B. HakimConcerns about diminishing fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are driving many countries to develop renewable energy sources. The knowledge of the dielectric property is essential to design and develop microwave technology for processing biomass materials. Bamboo biomass was subjected to microwave pyrolysis, to determine the influence of each process on the yield and composition of the derived gas, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 16 May 2016 · 9,121 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Economic and Environmental Evaluation of the Em-Ferro Plastic Sorting TechnologySeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Omid Nematshahi, Matthew FranchettiRecycling has been continually practiced since the dawn of mankind; however, increasing production costs as well as environmental impacts of the conventional waste disposal methods have shed a light on the importance of recycling as a sustainable way to produce goods and services. Recycling has proven to be beneficial, economically and environmentally: It saves resources, prevents pollution, supports public health … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 May 2015 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECT OF POLYETHYLENE BLACK PLASTIC MULCH ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TWO SUMMER VEGETABLE CROPS UNDER RAIN-FED CONDITIONS UNDER SEMI-ARID REGION CONDITIONSAtif Y. MahadeenWater use efficiency in agriculture can be enhanced by several strategies mainly by reducing evaporation from the soil surface. The mulching techniques were being used widely in irrigated crop production worldwide. The mulching techniques can be also implemented in summer vegetables production under rain-fed conditions. The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of polyethylene black plastic mulch on growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 9,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRecycle of Plastic Waste and Agricultural WasteKhin Aye Tue, Moe Moe ThweManufacturing of polymer composites using plastic waste is one of the solutions to solve the environmental pollution problems caused by non-biodegradable polymer.
