fuels. Therefore‚ it is possible to convert waste plastic into fuels. The non-catalytic pyrolysis process is the nearest technique to commercialization considering the collection and recycling processes of waste plastics. Unlike incineration or gasification‚ non-catalytic pyrolysis yield fuel that is almost equivalent to the fractionating column of diesel. The existing use of pyrolysis and the risks involved in it proves that the amount of individual scope was only used for the process of extraction

Throughout most of history‚ the amount of waste generated by humans was insignificant due to low population density and low societal levels of the exploitation of natural resources. Common waste produced during pre-modern times was mainly ashes and human biodegradable waste‚ and these were released back into the ground locally‚ with minimum environmental impact. Tools made out of wood or metal were generally reused or passed down through the generations. However‚ some civilizations do seem to

I will always remember gas chambers‚ and also crematoriums where “prisoners’’ were burned after gasification. Imagine just one instant a room full of innocent people where a toxic gas was put in to kill them all. I learned some of them were burned alive in the crematoriums. When I saw that‚ I questioned myself‚ “How was it possible? Where was God at

CHAPTER II Review of Related Literature Solid waste management is a well-bred terminology that refers to garbage or trash management. As long as humans have been living in settled communities‚ improper waste management has always been an issue. Industrialized nations can generate pounds of solid waste per consumer thus making it a big problem for the world’s undying waste destitution. Waste problem being one of the foremost and mounting problems in other countries have been

Mass awareness to environmental issues in my country is fairly low and the repercussions for this action occurs at an enormous scale. This became more evident after I witnessed a massive cholera outbreak in the northern part of Nigeria in 2013. About 200 cases were recorded at that time‚ with my baby brother being affected also. Several of those located in the affected areas had no access to pipe borne water and relied strongly on hand dug wells. Most of these wells were indiscriminately excavated
