A Study on the Future of Industrial WastewaterTreatment Plant: Trends and Innovations
Abstract: Industrial wastewater treatment plants (IWWTPs) stand at the critical intersection of economic productivity and environmental sustainability. Unlike municipal sources, industrial effluent is characterized by extreme heterogeneity, containing highly variable concentrations of toxic heavy metals, recalcitrant organic compounds, suspended solids, and emerging contaminants. This complexity necessitates bespoke, multistage treatment trains, often combining physical, chemical, and advanced biological methods (e.g., membrane bioreactors, electrochemical oxidation, and anaerobic digestion). This analysis examines the contemporary …

The Improvement of Polyvinyl Chloride Synthesis Using Different Approaches
Abstract: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is produced by the polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer either by direct chlorination of olefins or by addition of hydrogen chloride to acetylene. The polymerization conditions are: heat, peroxides or oxidizing agents with basic structure as -CH2CHCl.CHCl-CH2.CHCl-. Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic and its plasticity can be increased by incorporating ‘plasticizers’ of relatively low molecular weight organic materials during molding or extrusion. PVC has high hardness …
