27. A polymer is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. Because of
their broad range of properties , both synthetic and natural polymers play an essential and ubiquitous
role in everyday life. Polymers range from familiar synthetic plastics such as polystyrene to natural
biopolymers such as DNA and proteins that are fundamental to biological structure and function.
Polymers, both natural and synthetic, are created via polymerization of many small molecules, known
as monomers. Their consequently large molecular mass relative to small molecule compounds
produces unique physical properties, including toughness, viscoelasticity, and a tendency to form
glasses and semi-crystalline structures rather than crystals.
28. Polymers are of two types:
Natural polymeric materials such as shellac, amber, wool, silk and natural rubber have been used for centuries.
A variety of other natural polymers exist, such as cellulose, which is the main constituent of wood and paper.
The list of synthetic polymers includes synthetic rubber, phenol formaldehyde resin (or Bakelite), neoprene,
nylon, polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl), polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, poly acryl nitrile, PVB, silicone,
and many more
30. Plastic is an engineered material used to manufacture a wide variety of products to meet
the domestic demand in Bangladesh as well as some products are exported. The plastic
industry has emerged as an important industrial sector in the country during the last two
decades. At present, there are 3,000 plastic manufacturing units, 98% of which belong to
the Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Domestic market size is $2125 million. Per capita
consumption of plastics in Bangladesh is 5 kg per year. The plastic sector constitutes 1% of
GDP and provides employment for half a million people

42. Karnaphuli Paper Mills Limited, the oldest integrated pulp and paper industry in Bangladesh. It is also the largest paper mill of Asia.
All paper mills in Bangladesh are producing around 600000 MT paper and board per annum.
The demand of paper and board is around 600000 -700000 MT/yr.
The per capita paper and board consumption in Bangladesh is about 3.5~4 kg.
Paper product exports total $75.76 million in the last fiscal year 2017-18.
Bangladesh has also started to export paper products to 40 countries.
Raw Materials: Wood and Non-wood (NW); Virgin Fiber (VF) and Recycle Fiber (RF).
New technologies used in the paper industry including organic acid pulping, fractionation of agricultural waste, potassium hydroxide based pulping as a bio-
refinery concept, and fast-growing native species pulping under social forestry program.
The major pulp and paper industries in private sector in Bangladesh have grown in Dhaka and Chittagong regions.
The industry, which is churning out around 1.5 million tonnes of paper a year, has generated 1.0 million direct and indirect employments.
44. Coal supplied 2.5% of the electricity generated.
The country's overall coal production was around 3,000 tons per day.
Barapukuria Coal Power Plant, which comprises two 125 megawatt generating units, is rated as having an installed capacity of 200
megawatts.
The government has a plan to generate over 10,000 MW of electricity from coal-based power plants by 2021 and 20,000 MW by 2030.
Approximately 70% of the output from the mine is supplied to the existing Barapukuria Coal Power Plant.
45. The government claims the country has coal reserves estimated at around 3.0 billion tons in five mines.
The country currently produces approximately 4,000 MW of electricity per day against peak hourly demand of over 6,000 MW.
Reuters reported that BPDB officials stated that in the near future they would call for bids for 10 new coal based power plants to add
another 4,000 MW of electricity to the national grid.
According to Petrobangla, there are 5 deposits of about 2,500 million tonnes of high-quality coal in the three northern districts
named Rangpur, Dinajpur, Joypurhat.
Six plants proposed two at Khulna, two at Mongla and one each at Mawoa and Chittagong areas.
47. Proposed coal plant with China in Chittagong
On Dec. 4, 2011, a top China official said Bangladesh and China are set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to build a 1,320
megawatts (MW) coal-fired power plant in Chittagong under a joint venture. Chairman of the state-owned Bangladesh Power Development
Board (BPDB) said the plant would be be built by the BPDB and China Hudian Hong Kong Company. Both the firms will decide on share of
stakes of respective firms, timeframe and costs to implement the power plant under the joint venture. The power plant will run initially on
imported coal, and will consume local coal to generate electricity in future subject to its availability.
Underground coal gasification
The U.S.-based Clean Coal Limited has proposed to produce 5,000 megawatts power by using Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) technology
at the country’s deepest coalfield, Jamalganj. The government also a plan to install four mega power plants with imported coal, 1200MW at
Meghnagat, 1800MW at Zajira and New Meghnagat, 2400MW at Moheskhali and Matarbari in Chittagong.
49. Bangladesh plans to produce 2000MW of electricity by 2023 and another 4000MW by 2030; the plan for setting up the country’s first-
ever nuclear power plant was initiated in 1961.
The estimated cost of the proposed plant at Rooppur in Ishwardi upazila of Pabna district is set $1.5-2bn; The first phase (1000MW) of
the project will be completed by 2017.
Three million people residing within a radius of 30km of the plant near a river.
Russian State Atomic Energy Commission (ROSATOM) will build the plant, provide fuel throughout the entire life-span of the power
plant, and take the waste away.
According to the “self-evaluation report” submitted by Bangladesh to the International Atomic Energy Agency in the middle of 2012,
the two nuclear reactors will be of VVER-1000 design. This is a water-cooled and watermoderated reactor reportedly devised in the
late 1970s.
50. The tenure of the plant will be 60 years and may be extended by another 20 years.
The Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) will be implementing the plant and plans to recruit 1,660
people, including some 500 scientists and engineers.
ATOMSTROYEXPORT will conduct 63 tests at the site, 26 of them will be conduct by Bangladeshis.
ATOMSTROYEXPORT will have to complete the work in 18 months and the government will pay it $45.90m; 10% of
the amount will be paid by the Bangladesh government to the Russian company, in advance, within 30 days of
signing the agreement. The remaining would be paid under the Russian credit of $500m for the project.
The government says at least 62 tests would be conducted for setting up the power plant.
