Although burning plastic is still the most effective way to get rid of it, but traditional methods pollute the environment too much. Using an electric field will make its disposal environmentally friendly.
Scientists from Vyatka State University have explained how to make the burning of plastic less harmful to the environment. To do this, it is necessary to use an electric field, which will allow the oxidation of the hydrocarbon basis of the material by air oxygen to take place to the full extent.
The researchers noted that the most difficult type of waste to destroy is plastic. It is most effective to burn it, but the conventional method produces a lot of toxic by-products such as carbon monoxide, carcinogenic dioxins and formaldehyde. On the basis of their new development it is possible to create new environmentally friendly incinerators.
Moscow scientists have created a mathematical model that will make it possible to automate the design of the oxygen system in airplanes.
Researchers from Perm have developed a new, more economical and faster method of oil extraction.
