However, studies on the presence of MPs in recreational areas are limited. One of the previous works has reported that urban recreational parks are considered “sinks” for plastic debris, including MPs. In this study, low-density MPs (LD-MPs) in soil samples collected from recreational parks of Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (UAE) were isolated by density flotation method. Results showed that these parks have varying levels of LD-MPs caused by various anthropogenic activities, such as sludge use and application of reclaimed water from wastewater treatment facilities in those areas. These plastic particles were isolated in 87% of the soil samples, with an average concentration of 1550 ± 340 MPs/kg. Predominantly, these comprised large LD-MPs (300 - 5000 μm), with red and blue being the most common colors. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identified possible synthetic polymers, including polyethylene and polypropylene. Additionally, a negative correlation was observed between LD-MP concentration and soil pH and moisture content, indicating potential adverse effects on soil health. These findings highlight the need for monitoring and managing microplastic pollution in urban recreational areas to mitigate its ecological impacts.展开更多

Among the diff erent implemented strategies for recycling waste plastics, pyrolysis is deemed the most economical option. Currently, the wax obtained from the pyrolysis of waste plastics is mainly used as a feedstock to manufacture chemicals and fuels or added to asphalt for pavement construction, with no other applications of wax being reported. Herein, the thermal pyrolysis of three common waste polyolefin plastics: high-density polyethylene(HDPE), low-density polyethylene(LDPE), and polypropylene(PP), was conducted at 450 ℃. The waste plastics-derived waxes were characterized and studied for a potential new application: phase change materials(PCMs) for thermal energy storage(TES). Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis showed that paraffin makes up most of the composition of HDPE and LDPE waxes, whereas PP wax contains a mixture of naphthene, isoparaffin, olefin, and paraffin. Diff erential scanning calorimetry(DSC) analysis indicated that HDPE and LDPE waxes have a peak melting temperature of 33.8 ℃ and 40.3 ℃, with a relatively high latent heat of 103.2 J/g and 88.3 J/g, respectively, whereas the PP wax was found to have almost negligible latent heat. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and DSC results revealed good chemical and thermal stability of HDPE and LDPE waxes after 100 cycles of thermal cycling. Performance evaluation of the waxes was also conducted using a thermal storage pad to understand their thermoregulation characteristics for TES applications.展开更多

Here we develop an efficient strategy to catalyze the complete cleavage of C–C bonds in mixed polyolefin plastics over non-noble metal catalysts under mild conditions. The nickelbased catalyst involving Ni_(2)Al_(3) phase enables the direct transformation of mixed polyolefin plastics into natural gas, and the gas carbon yield reaches up to 89.6%. Reaction pathway investigation reveals that natural gas comes from the stepwise catalytic cleavage of C–C bonds in polypropylene, and the catalyst prefers catalytic cleavage of terminal C–C bond in the side-chain with the low energy barrier.Additionally, our developed approach is evaluated by the technical economic analysis for an economically competitive production process.展开更多

The POM was pretreated by hot spraying Al powder on it. Before the electroless Ni-W-P deposition, the POM with Al coating was flash plated in alkaline bath. The mechanism of Ni-W-P deposition was studied and the technology was optimized. The XRD analysis shows that the "as-deposited" Ni-W-P plating has mixed crystalline structure. The hardness value of deposits is more than HV700. The abrasion resistance of deposits is six times more than that of POM. Bending test was used to determine the cohesion between the deposits and the substrates. SEM was used to study the behavior of surface abrasion and interface bonding condition. The reason for the excellent cohesion was interpreted.展开更多

We report here accumulation of poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB), a raw material of biodegradable plastics and for production of hydrogen gas, and a renewable en-ergy carrier by photosynthetic microorganisms (tentatively defined as cyanobacteria plus photosynthetic ba-teria, in this report).A thermophilic cyanobacterium, Synechococcus sp. MA19 that accumulates PHB at more than 20%of cell dry wt under nitrogen-starved conditions was isolated and microbiologically identified. The mecha-nism of PHB accumulation was studied. A mesophilic Synechococcus PCC7942 was transformed with thegenes encoding PHB-synthesizing enzymes from Alcaligenes eutrophus. The transformant accumulated PHBunder nitrogen-starved conditions. The optimal conditions for PHB accumulation by a photosynthetic bac-terium grown on acetate were studied.Hydrogen production by photosynthetic microorganisms was studied. Cyanobacteria can produce hy-drogen gas by nitrogenase or hydrogenase. Hydrogen production mediated by native hydrogenase incyanobacteria was revealed to be in the dark anaerobic degradation of intracellular glycogen. A new sys-tem for light-dependent hydrogen production was targeted. In vitro and in vivo coupling of cyanobacterialferredoxin with a heterologous hydrogenase was shown to produce hydrogen under light conditions. A trialfor genetic trasformation of Synechococcus PCC7942 with the hydrogenase gene from Clostridum pasteuri-anum is going on. The strong hydrogen producers among photosynthetic bacteria were isolated and charac-terized. Co-culture of Rhodobacter and Clostriumdium was applied to produce hydrogen from glucose.Conversely in the case of cyanobacteria, genetic regulation of photosynthtic proteins was intended to im-prove comversion efficiency in hydogen production by the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodobactersphaeroides RV. A mutant acquired by UV irradiation will be characterized for the mutation and for hydro-gen productivity in comparison with the wild type strain. Some basic studies to develop photobioreactorsare also introduced.展开更多
