Co-Pyrolysis of Plastic Wastes: Effects of Temperature and Feedstock Ratio on Chemical Composition of Liquid Product

(Corresponding) Özçakır G., Karaduman A.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
Co-Pyrolysis of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Polystyrene (PS) was carried out in a semi-batch glass reactor system. Effects of temperature and feedstock ratio on pyrolytic product yields (gaseous, liquid and solid residue) and chemical composition of the liquid were investigated. All...Read more

Topic: 
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in aquatic environment represents the risk due to potential adverse effects on both human health and the environment. The term CECs does not only apply to chemical contaminants but to the microplastics (MPs) as well. As MP may interact with...Read more

Degradation assessment of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) debris after long exposure to marine conditions

(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Efthimiadou E., Filippides A., Papanikos P., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.
Topic: 
Recycling of materials to new products
In the present investigation, the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in marine environments, under ultraviolet (UV) radiation and saltwater conditions, was examined. HDPE debris were collected from the coastal areas nearby Korinthos, encompassing a wide range of exposure durations,...Read more
