The work presents report on production and analysis of bioresin from epoxidized mango kernel oil (EMKO). The bioresin (acrylated epoxidized mango kernel oil) or AEMKO was produced from epoxidized mango kernel oil via acrylation chemical reaction route. The FTIR spectrum analysis of epoxidized mango kernel oil (EMKO) and acrylated epoxidized mango kernel oil (AEMKO) produced gave the degree of acrylation (DOA) as 46%. The Viscosity of AEMKO (resin) was determined at room temperature (25 °C) to be 387cP while the density at 25oC was 1.2 g/cm3. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the bioresin was determined to be 95oC. Production cost analysis of the bioresin was done and found to be N8, 804.35 per litre. The high cost was due to high costs of the chemicals, labour and overhead charges involved at my local level. At commercial level, those components of the costs would definitely reduce to the level compatible with synthetic (polyester) resin (N2, 500 per litre) currently sold by some markers in Nigeria. However, the overall results of the work demonstrated that bioresin can be successfully synthesized from mango kernel oil with properties compatible with ASTM standards. The commercial production of the bioresin will go a long way in mitigating some of the challenges associated with total use of fossil fuel currently use for production of bulk of synthetic resins for composite manufacturing activities.

It shows potential to process over 120 million tons of wet wastes in the US annually into biofuels equivalent to over 15 billion gallons of gasoline. However, further work is needed to commercialize HTL by reducing capital costs, improving energy recovery, processing precipitates and biooil upgrading before HTL can widely provide a renewable alternative to waste disposal and liquid fuels.

A new generation of cable grade poly(vinyl chloride) containing heavy metal f...Ali I. Al-Mosawi
Many additives are used to improve the performance of cables in terms of increasing their flame retardancy, thermal stability, thermal conductivity, and other characteristics. Unfortunately, most of these additives contain heavy metals. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to introduce a material representing a new generation of environmentally friendly heavy metal-free stabilizers for cable grade poly(vinyl chloride) that can compete with traditional materials in terms of performance and distinctive properties. This unique additive is Oxydtron, a synthetic silicate or simply nanocement. The tests performed are rheological properties represented by a capillary rheometry analysis, limiting oxygen index, and volume resistivity. The most significant improvement in Bagley correction measurements was 14.61%; 18.13%; and 27.20% more than poly(vinyl chloride) basic formulation when using 5wt.% Oxydtron at 160°C, 170°C, and 180°C, respectively. Also, the mean increases in relaxation time were 3.200 times, 8.825 times, and 12.458 times more than poly(vinyl chloride) basic formulation with 1wt.%, 3wt.%, and 5wt.% of Oxydtron, respectively. Furthermore, the Oxydtron lowered the value of the accompanying thermal gradient of the L.O.I test, reducing the heat-affected zone. The best result was with the extrusion processing method due to the uniformity of the processing conditions. However, the thermal gradient analysis showed residual heat stress in the test samples after cutting the burning layer and re-testing the samples again; this causes them to burn faster. This situation requires caution for designs that are exposed to high temperatures without burning. The optimum improvement in volume resistivity value was 14.71% and 38.24% more than poly(vinyl chloride) basic formulation after adding 5wt.% and 7wt.% of Oxydtron, respectively.

BioEnzyme Technologies has developed a unique enzyme-bacteria based chain-end biodegradation technology to produce biodegradable plastic products. Their formulation uses organic ingredients from natural resources and plants to make the process non-hazardous. Products produced with this technology, including garbage bags, fully biodegrade within 180 days according to EN 13432 standards. This overcomes limitations of plant-based bioplastics which are expensive, show poor performance, and require industrial composting facilities to biodegrade. BioEnzyme has successfully marketed their BIOPLAST branded bags with a major retailer in Turkey through a pilot program.

Green chemistry is chemistry for the environment, including the production and use of less hazardous substances. Green chemistry is a creating new methods of thinking and creating, environmentally.
This document discusses edible packaging as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic packaging. It provides an introduction to edible packaging, explaining why it is needed due to the large amount of non-biodegradable plastic waste. Edible packaging is defined as a thin edible coating or film that can be consumed as part of the food. Various biopolymers like proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids can be used to form these edible coatings and films. While edible packaging has benefits like reducing waste and adding nutrition, it also faces challenges for wide commercial use like high costs and poor barrier properties compared to plastic.

It provides an introduction to edible packaging, explaining why it is needed due to the large amount of non-biodegradable plastic waste. Edible packaging is defined as a thin film or coating that can be consumed as part of the food. Common materials used include proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids. Edible packaging can provide benefits like moisture and gas barriers while being safely edible. However, challenges remain regarding their cost effectiveness and commercialization at scale.
The document discusses green chemistry and microwave assisted reactions. It provides 12 principles of green chemistry including waste prevention, atom economy, safer solvents and auxiliaries, energy efficiency, and use of renewable feedstocks. Examples are given such as using carbon dioxide as a blowing agent instead of ozone-depleting chemicals. Microwave assisted reactions are also discussed, noting their benefits like higher yields, less energy usage, and faster reactions compared to conventional heating. The heating mechanism in microwave reactions involves dipolar polarization and conduction.

In dieser Übergangszeit werden neue Kältemittel entwickelt, um jene mit hohem GWP zu ersetzen. Darum wurde soeben das Blue Book, dieses für alle Kältemittelbenutzer unerlässliches Tool, neu herausgegeben.
Inhalt: 34 Kältemittel, davon 14 noch nicht veröffentlichte, ein überarbeitetes Layout für eine bessere Lektüre.
Bleiben Sie im Geschäft : machen Sie Schluss mit R-404A / R-507AAaron P. Gerber
Der enorme HFKW Phase-Down Schritt in 2018 und die Begrenzung des GWP Wertes auf maximal 2500 ab 2020 lassen Ihnen keine andere Wahl.

Stay in Business - Stop installing R-404A / R-507AAaron P. Gerber
The massive HFC phase-down step in 2018 and the Global Warming Potential (GWP) limit of 2500 in 2020 do not leave you any choice:
If you want to stay in business,
you have to stop installing
R-404A / R-507A - NOW!
Solstice® Kältemittel Roadmap: Modernste TechnologieAaron P. Gerber
Aus der F-Gas Verordnung :
Wussten Sie…
• HFOs sind nicht als fluorierte Treibhausgase definiert: Solstice® ze/zd/yf/L40X sind daher nicht von Quotenregelung oder Besteuerung
betroffen.
• Der Einsatz von Genetron Performax® LT (R-407F), Solstice® N40 (R-448A) und Solstice® N13 (R-450A) ist in existierenden Anlagen, die
bereits vor 2022 installiert wurden, auch nach 2022 möglich.
• Anlagen, die vor 2022 installiert wurden, können auch nach 2022 auf R-407F, R-448A und R-450A umgerüstet werden.
• Es gibt kein Enddatum für Service und Wartung bei den Kältemitteln R-407F, R-448A und R-450A.
• Das Verwendungsverbot von GWP≥150 Kältemittlen, oder GWP≥1500 Kältemittlen in indirekten Kaskadensystemen betrifft nicht
Industriekälteanlagen, die nicht für die Verwendung zum Verkauf an Endverbraucher vorgesehen sind. R-407F, R-448A und R-450A
können nach 2022 in Industrikälteanlagen verwendet werden

Manometer P/T Mantooth ist ein kabelloses digitales Manometer zur Kontrolle und Messung von Drücken und Temperaturen von Kälte- und Klimaanlagen. Die Daten werden durch Bluetooth Anschluss auf Smartphones oder Tablets übertragen
Von der F-Gas-Verordnung gefördert und in Japan bereits zum Standard gereift, kommt R-32 jetzt auch europaweit in Aufschwung. Ab 2025 wird der Einsatz von Kältemitteln mit einem GWP über 750 in Split-Klimageräten mit einer Füllmenge unter 3 kg untersagt.
Kältemittel R-407F
Seit Juli 2012 verkehren im Raum Zürich und Lausanne die ersten LKW mit Elektroantrieb. Sie sind ausgerüstet mit einer leistungsfähigen und umweltfreundlichen Kälteanlage. Diese arbeitet mit dem Kältemittel R-407F.
Die Erfahrungen bis heute sind durchwegs positiv.
