Polymer waste safe disposal by incineration in electrostatic field

Polymer waste disposal of is one of the most pressing problems of our time. The incineration method is widespread, but it has its drawbacks. Problems during the polymer waste combustion, which include low combustion efficiency, combustion products toxicity, significantly reduce the possibility of waste disposal incinerators using. In this regard, the work considers the use of an electrostatic field to optimize the combustion process. Experimental studies of the electrostatic field influence on the substances difficult for disposal (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, rubber) combustion have been carried out. The possibility of increasing the polymer waste combustion rate, flame temperature, and combustion efficiency is shown.

Utilizing the wood waste for eco-friendly mixed-media artwork

Wood waste can be found easily around us. It is usually used as household fuel resulting burning smoke that pollutes the air and reduces oxygen intake, later it would have a contribution to climate change. As alternative, to reduce air pollution due to wood waste combustion, it can be use as part of media artwork. This study used action research to create mixed-media artwork by utilizing the wood waste to reduce wood waste from industry. The results of this study are expected to help maintain eco-friendly industry and reduce the impact of climate change.
