Scientists reveal efficient way to degrade a plastic bag into liquid
fuel.According to the researchers from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry
and the University of California, the method developed— cross alkaline
metathesis(CAM) is "highly efficient†in breaking down the plastic " without any
pre-treatmentâ€, compared to the current method—subjecting the material to great
heat or ultraviolet radiation—considered to suffer "low energy and lack of
product control. Scientists reveal efficient way to degrade a plastic bag into
liquid fuel.
In a recent study published in the Science Advance journal reveals
scientists from US and Canada appear to have found a technology to convert all
the polythene waste into liquid fuel.However, the scientists have been working
on methods to degrade plastic more efficiently.(This story originally appeared
on Deccan Chronicle).â€The process involves using of two catalysts, which further
break downs and separate the substances used to make plastic items— compatible
with various numbers of plastic objects that would otherwise remain dumped under
the soil for thousands of years, could be converted to energy and chemical
feedstock.Just 17 years after the accidental discovery of polythene about 2
million metric tons of plastic were produced worldwide, and today China
Air compressor Factory the numbers has shoot up by 150 times, according to
Earth Policy. Scientists from US and Canada appear to have found a technology to
convert all the polythene waste into liquid fuel
