Latest Projects Based on Waste

On this modern age the composite materials are become the primary material for any engineering production because composite materials have several specific properties such as high strength to weight ratio, low cost, and ease of fabrication, tensile strength, compressive strength, Impact strength, high resistance to thermal which does not realize in pure material or non-composite material. Because of its vast application, a Mechanical Engineer should know how to fabricate and teste a composite material. In this project, you will be using two waste materials i.e. bagasse and waste plastic to produce a composite. The composite can be used for the purpose of heat insulation which we can apply in our rooftops or any place where we can reduce the heat transfer. The main aspect of our project is to produce something useful out of waste materials.

Food industry uses a large amount of water for various food processing compared to other sectors. food industry requires a big chunk of water for plant operations, such as production, cleaning, sanitizing, cooling and materials transport, among others.

Wastewater treatment is the process of converting wastewater into bilge water so that it can be discharged into the water bodies so that it can be mixed and gets reused due to the natural filtration process. Wastewater usually contains toxic chemicals, bacteria, and other harmful resins. The treatment unit aims at reducing the contaminants to acceptable levels so that it can be discharged back into environment.

The industrial wastewater is highly polluted in nature with the presence of variable characteristics such as oil and grease, excess chloride content, acids and alkaline, total solids etc. Due to this problem, it is not possible to release wastewater into a watercourse or on land. There are many treatment methods are available to remove these pollutants. Electrocoagulation is one of the wastewater treatment method which is easy to apply and cheap in cost.

Soil stabilization is the process of improving the physical and chemical properties of soil. Stabilization helps to increase the shear strength and controls the shrink-swell properties of soil.

The disposal of waste materials is always been a major problem for environmental engineers. Solid waste has the most adverse effect on the environment compared to liquid waste.

Electronic industry is the world’s largest and innovative industry for its kind. Every year tons of electronic items get shipped over oceans. Yet, after their usage time, they become a complex waste matter. It consists of many hazardous heavy metals, acids, toxic chemicals, and non-degradable plastics.

Solid waste management is one of the major problems in today's modern world. Improper planning and execution are the main causes of this problem. Also, an increase in population and urbanization increasing the solid waste load on disposal areas at a much faster pace.

Groundwater is one of the major water source available on our planet. But with the presence of many contaminants, the percentage of pure groundwater availability is decreasing day by day.

The use of building materials has been changing every year. Materials like molded earth brick stones, Timber, Steel, Aluminium, PVC which are less in cost and locally available have replaced the traditional and high-cost materials. However, all these materials have been developed to meet specific requirements of climate, availability of skilled labour and specific raw materials to affect the desired economy.

Bituminous Concrete is used in construction projects such as surfacing roads, parking yards, and so on. It comprises of asphalt (used as a binder) and mineral aggregate which is mixed together & placed down in layers and then compressed. In recent years, the regular increase in traffic volume, and changes in daily and seasonal temperature is making the pavements surfaces less durable.

Construction is a work that leads to environmental degradation that has resulted in global warming and climate change. A good example of degradation in construction work is the emission of carbon-di-oxide accounted as the 2^nd largest after electricity generation which is around about 930 million tons/year or approximately 7% of the total CO₂ emissions.

Fluoride is the element that is naturally found in minerals, rock sediments, and geological deposits, it is named as “double-edged sword” due to the inadequacy of this element in the human body causes dental caries, whereas if intake is more than it leads to dental, skeletal and soft tissue fluorosis. According to the latest research, about 25 countries around the globe shows that fluorosis is endemic. In 1993 UNICEF identified 15 states in India as endemic for fluorosis.

Nowadays a lot of waste is being generated daily. Developing countries like India, Brazil, Afghanistan are facing severe problem due to the rapid industrialization and urbanization. If the waste is not treated properly it will pollute the environment.

Water is the main source that runs the world. Water is used in almost every industry for production, servicing and so on. As a result of this, a heavy volume of water is being extracted and used. Then it is discharged in the form of effluent.

In this world, waste is generated from every work we do. Statistics says that about 62 million tonnes of wastes are generated from urban cities.

These wastes generated from urban cities must be collected by the municipality of the city but due to some constraints this waste is not being collected on time.

If the garbage is not collected regularly, it becomes a good place for breeding of the houseflies and it will make the place hard to live because it will be comprising of materials which will start to decompose and dreadful smell will be covered all over the area.  

The Rapid increase in urbanisation and industrialisation lead to the construction of huge buildings and factories. So, the usage of concrete is also increased. As concrete is made of the limestone which is a natural resource, it is exhausted by extreme usage.

Increase in population increases the number of vehicles and because of that both air and noise pollution are increased. Not only from the traffic but noise pollution is also produced from industries and also usage of many mechanical and electrical appliances has created this heavy dosage noise pollution.

Non-renewable energy sources are coming to an end as they are depended on the sources like coal, petrol. So, renewable energy generation is the right way to overcome energy demands.

Electricity is one of the important social need and many types of research are also going on in the generation of non-conventional electricity. Many countries are investing a large amount of money over renewable energy sources like solar energy and wind energy. But it consumes more space as well as a huge capital to build. They also cause pollution to the environment and need much manpower. It also requires raw materials to construct the setup.

Septic tanks are built in every residential house. The function of the septic tank is to reduce the pollution and content of pollutants in the wastewater. This is automatically done by the anaerobic bacteria that live in the septic tank. The septic tank provides favourable conditions for these anaerobic bacteria. This bacteria feeds on the organic material that presents in human waste and converts them into H+ ions and also produce a slight amount of methane gas.

Earth is also known as the blue planet as 75% of its surface is covered by the water. But there is a lack of drinking water on earth. This is because only 2% of 75% of water is meant for drinking and irrigation purpose.

Plastic has become a daily need in our life and at present it is posing a greater threat to the environment. Nearly a 200 million tons of plastic is been produced worldwide annually.
