Sustainable plastic waste management systems are needed to reduce environmental pollution
impacts as they are non-biodegradable and emit greenhouse gases when burned. This study
investigates the feasibility of using ...
Due to an increasing amount of household plastic waste, sustainable plastics waste management systems
have become increasingly important. We report on the feasibility of using recycled polypropylene (PP) from the
commonly ...
Despite diesel engines being highly efficient, with low fuel consumption and
reduced carbon dioxide emissions, they emit relatively high levels of particu
late matter and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) due to high exhaust gas ...
. Kenya discovered huge deposit of lignite-coal, better utilized through co-gasification to produce syngas, a clean and environmental friendly
fuel, with easier application in engines. Blends of Mui-basin coal (MBC), ...
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are synthesized by a variety of microorganisms as intracellular storage granules
under imbalanced nutrition and excess carbon. Carbon sources are key contributors to the high cost of PHA ...
Abstract: Extremophilic microorganisms such as those that thrive in high-salt and high-alkaline
environments are promising candidates for the recovery of useful biomaterials including polyhydrox
yalkanoates (PHAs). PHAs ...
