Recycling: make it the law? In 2013 we produced 254 million tons of waste. Of this 254 million tons: we recycled 34%‚ which isn’t a bad number. But of the rest of our waste that ends up in landfills: half could be recycled. That’s 84 million tons of waste that could be reused. So why are we just letting it get buried with the rest of our garbage? Recycling may be expensive and inconvenient in the beginning. But research shows the long term benefits of mandatory recycling programs. These benefits

Gypsum Board (Drywall) Manufacturing and Recycling The Scale of the Trend and Green Strategies of Manufacturer University of Florida Abstract Drywall is a panel made of gypsum plaster which is pressed between two thick paper sheets. It is also known as gypsum board‚ plasterboard‚ wallboard and sheetrock. Its function is not restricted to interior walls only‚ it is also used in ceilings and partitions because it is a faster alternative compare to traditional plaster. 1 The largest gypsum

Determination of Cleansing Action of Detergents (Using Capillary rise) Synopsis This project report explains about the surface tension and capillarity of liquid through a simple experiment of finding the capillarity of various detergents. Oil stains and grease on dirty clothes cannot be removed‚ using water alone‚ because water does not wet them. If detergents added ‚ surface tension is decreased‚ the area of contact is increased

contributes in to the increasing production of food. That is why the researchers came up with the project of making biodegradable plastic. The project can reduce our problems in global warming because it needs no burning to decay. If the global warming will be reduced the food shortage will be reduced. It is focus more on lessening the world’s problems by using this product‚ the BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC. The first step done by the researchers is the peeling of one half kilo of squash. It was then chopped

BREAKDOWN IN SOLID DIELECTRIC The requirements of good dielectric: o Low dielectric loss‚ o High mechanical strength‚ o Free from gaseous inclusions‚ and moisture‚ o Resistant to thermal and chemical deterioration. Solid dielectrics have higher breakdown strength compared to liquids and gases. When breakdown occurs‚ solids get permanently damaged while gases fully and liquids partly recover their dielectric strength. Breakdown mechanism varies depending

Do all liquids evaporate? What would happen if liquids never evaporated? Do we know which liquid evaporates the fastest? Could we perhaps use this knowledge to change the everyday processes? The process of evaporation happens much differently than scientists once thought. Every liquid eventually evaporates and often what remains is the solid particles which were once part of the solution. Evaporation is very important: “it shapes the climate of the planet‚ it affects the cost of car travel
