63) CONTROL OF NITROGEN OXIDE EMISSION

ABSTRACT It is proposed to design a process plant that will control nitrogen oxide emission from a plant that is producing 90wt% nitric acid of 30,000 tonnes of nitric acid. This capacity is based on 8000hours of operation per year i.e. 330 days. It is proposed that this plant will be located in any location where there is substantial release of... Continue Reading

64) UTILIZATION OF WASTE PLASTIC AND RUBBER FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE

ABSTRACT Plastic and Rubber materials have become the corner stone of our lives, so it leads to generation of huge quantity of waste. These waste materials are either mixed with municipal solid waste or dumped in an open area leading to increase in the area covered under waste land. Plastic and rubber waste, if not recycled is either land filled... Continue Reading
