The study being reported here was conducted to convert plastic waste,a major source of solid pollution in Pakistan, into liquid fuel by application of Thermal Pyrolysis. A pyrolysis reactor consisting of high strength Pyrex round bottom flask was constructed in the laboratory and used for converting plastic waste into liquid fuel. A 280g sample of plastic waste was pyrolyzed and the resultant products were 120g liquid oil, 100g solid residueand 60g gas.Thus, the yield of liquid fuel from the plastic waste was 43% wt. along with solid mass 36%wt. and gas 21 % wt. The results clearly indicate that there is a significant potential of producing liquid fuel from plastic waste in Pakistan andthe world.

The Status

Waste is generated by various day to day human activities. Adopting improper waste handling and disposal methods can harm the well-being of public and environment. Waste management creates new opportunities for entrepreneurs in terms of social causes and it affects the economic structure and economic status of any country. One of the new approaches in waste management and income generation is Social entrepreneurship. But in Bharat i.e. India the young entrepreneurs have a dearth of consciousness towards social entrepreneurship. This paper discusses the status of solid waste management in India and Government initiatives for managing Solid Waste at Dharamshala. The main objectives of study are 1) to check awareness of people in managing solid waste at Dharamsala 2) and how to convert the plastic waste into theme based parks as skilled initiative for entrepreneurs at tourist spots in Himachal Pradesh. The paper thus explores the scope for entrepreneurs in waste management. The study reveals that Solid waste management concept attracted the attention of government around 1970s. But till now we believe in filling the waste in the ground or putting them in the dustbin. Government of India has created few acts and rules on waste management which are listed in this paper. Through this study it is revealed that people of Dharamshala welcome to the construction of themed parks made from plastic bottles. Majority of these people believe in separating waste at home and according to them conditions of waste disposal at Dharamshala are not very good. There is a positive correlation between people’s opinion of constructing theme parks and using plastic bottles in park’s construction. Study believes that the quantity of plastic waste in our country is endless which creates lot scope and opportunity to the social entrepreneurs.

Alternative Processes

The urbanization process contributes to the growth of solid waste generation and causes an increase in environmental impacts and failures in the management of solid waste. The number of dumps is a concern due to the limited implementation and safe disposal of this waste. The interest in sustainable techniques has been growing in relation to waste management, which is largely absorbed by the civil construction sector. This work aimed to review plastic waste, especially polyethylene terephthalate (PET), that can be incorporated with construction materials, such as concrete, mortars, asphalt mixtures, and paving. The use of life-cycle assessment (LCA) is related, as a tool that allows the sustainability of products and processes to be enhanced in the long term. After analyzing the recent literature, it was identified that studies related to plastic wastes in construction materials concentrate sustainability around the alternative destination of waste. Since the plastic waste from different production chains are obtained, it was possible to affirm the need for a broader assessment, such as the LCA, providing greater quantification of data making the alternative processes and products more sustainable. The study contributes to enhance sustainability in alternative building materials through LCA.

Life Options

<abstract> <p>The world is today faced with the problem of plastic waste pollution more than ever before. Global plastic production continues to accelerate, despite the fact that recycling rates are comparatively low, with only about 15% of the 400 million tonnes of plastic currently produced annually being recycled. Although recycling rates have been steadily growing over the last 30 years, the rate of global plastic production far outweighs this, meaning that more and more plastic is ending up in dump sites, landfills and finally into the environment, where it damages the ecosystem. Better end-of-life options for plastic waste are needed to help support current recycling efforts and turn the tide on plastic waste. A promising emerging technology is plastic pyrolysis; a chemical process that breaks plastics down into their raw materials. Key products are liquid resembling crude oil, which can be burned as fuel and other feedstock which can be used for so many new chemical processes, enabling a closed-loop process. The experimental results on the pyrolysis of thermoplastic polymers are discussed in this review with emphasis on single and mixed waste plastics pyrolysis liquid fuel.</p> </abstract>

Global Impact

PLASTICS POLLUTION IN THE SEA. Indonesia is considered as the second biggest plastic waste producer in the sea. Information on waste pollution and its impact on marine organisms in Indonesia is still limited. Waste disposal and solid waste (plastics) into the sea are continuously occuring; elevating the thoughts of global impact of plastic waste contamination. Increased use of plastic is a consequence of the development of technologies, industries and also the population. This paper is expected to provide knowledge and information of plastics that exist in the sea, especially Indonesian Sea.

The combustion of syngas fuels in gas turbine combustor is presented in this paper. The principal objective is to test the performance of the combustion process using non-conventional fuels produced from the gasification of biomass and solid waste. Three dimensional syngas combustion simulations were performed in this study. The mixture fraction/pdf and the P1 radiation models were used to model the non-premixed turbulent combustion. The syngas fuels are derived from the gasification of wood saw dust, wooden pellet and nonrecycled solid waste plastics. The effect of syngas fuel compositions and lower heating values on the combustion process was investigated. The power from the combustor was kept constant at 60 kW for all the syngas fuels tested in this study. The results show a decrease of the peak gas temperature inside the combustor for the syngas fuels compared to conventional fossil gas fuel. The peak gas temperature inside the combustor decreases by 16.1%, 19.8%, and 17.2% respectively for the syngas 1 (derived from plastic waste), syngas 2 (derived from wood saw dust) and syngas 3 (derived from wooden pellets) compared to natural gas fuel. The highest average NO mass fraction at the combustor exit was obtained with syngas 1 (plastic waste) compared to the other syngas fuels due to the high lower heating value. The highest average CO2 mass fraction at the exit of the combustor was obtained with syngas 2 (wood saw dust) compared to the other syngas due to the high amount of CO2 in the syngas fuel (15%).
