A Futuristics Pyrolysis Technique: Conversion of Waste Plastic Polybags Into Fuel
Abstract: Plastics are high molecular weight materials composed of repeating polymer units and can be classified based on factors like chemical composition, structure, stiffness, application types, and processing methods. A key environmental issue with plastics is their non-biodegradability, causing them to persist in the environment. Pre-consumer plastic waste includes manufacturing defects, rejected items, and excess materials produced during virgin plastic manufacturing. In India, around 15,342 tons of plastic waste are collected …

A Review of Embodied Energy Strategies to reduce the carbon emissions in Sustainable Buildings
Abstract: Buildings in India account for almost one-fifth of the nation's carbon emissions, making it the third- largest carbon emitter globally. These emissions are expected to climb by 50% over the next 20 years, which is the biggest increase of any nation. You would have to go into a jungle to avoid concrete, steel, and aluminium since they are so common. Just these three substances are responsible for 23% of the …

Polymeric Coating Applied for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Corrosive Medium
Abstract: Mild steel is coated with a polymer layer of polybutadiene for protection. However, this coating does not effectively safeguard the metal in environments containing moisture, sulphur dioxide, or chloride. These pollutants interact with the polybutadiene-coated surface, creating a highly corrosive atmosphere. Moisture condenses on the coated metal surface and absorbs sulphur dioxide, forming sulphuric acid. This acid initiates both chemical and electrochemical reactions with the polymer-coated metal, accelerating the corrosion …
