The pervasive presence of microplastics in our environment necessitates urgent measures to prevent further release and address existing contamination hotspots. This work focuses on the removal from sludges sediments through application dissolved air flotation (DAF). In addition experimental investigations, study presents development a predictive model for formation aggregates comprising bubbles DAF contact zone. First an empirical was established predict attachment efficiency between...
Plastic packaging is usually heavily printed with inks to provide functional benefits. However, the presence of strongly impedes closed-loop recycling plastic films. Various media have already been studied for deinking films, but there little scientific insight into effectiveness different techniques. Therefore, this study aims obtain a systematic understanding by measuring liquefaction and maximum solubility 14 chemically polymer resins in seven typically used deinking, such as acetone,...
When modeling low capacity energy systems, such as a small size (5–150 kWel) organic Rankine cycle unit, the governing dynamics are mainly concentrated in heat exchangers. As consequence, accuracy and simulation speed of higher level system model depend on exchanger formulation. In particular, thermo-flow systems characterized by evaporation or condensation requires models capable handling phase transitions. To this aim, finite volume (FV) moving boundary (MB) approaches most widely used....
Polystyrene (PS) is a versatile polymer typically used in applications such as yogurt cups, packaging trays, disk cases and toys. To increase recycling rates of PS, dissolution being investigated, which involves the liquefication suitable solvent, allowing deep cleaning from impurities. Quite specific to PS that polystyrene waste contains both general-purpose high-impact (HIPS), composed free polystyrene-grafted polybutadiene particles. In this work potential filtration centrifugation...
Positive displacement expanders are proven to be cost-effective in the low medium power range for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems. Among different types of volumetric expanders, screw-type presents a favorable combination relatively high internal volume ratio (up 7) and isentropic efficiency 80%) with respect optimal pressure at which sub-critical ORCs operate. In particular, single-screw have shown some potential due their symmetric balanced configuration that decreases loads on...
Waste heat recovery has become very important in the last decennia. The Organic Rankine Cycle is most popular technology to transform waste into mechanical work or electricity. While large and medium scale installations are widely available on market for various temperature power levels, small ORCs still a pre-commercial phase because of relatively high specific price. To make more attractive potential customers, price be drastically reduced which means reducing manufacturing assembling...
