Optimum Chemical

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are being used in our daily life and consequently go to the landfills after their use. Additionally, virgin PET resins are produced from nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels, whose reserves are depleting continuously. Therefore, to maintain ecological and environmental balances as well as for sustainable development, post-consumer PET (pcrPET) bottles should be recycled. Among many recycling processes, mechanical recycling of pcrPET is attractive due to lower cost involvement. One of the most crucial and important processes of mechanical recycling is hot washing for contaminants removal. Hot washing uses a cleaning solution made of caustic soda (NaOH) and detergent at elevated temperature. In this paper, caustic soda and FORYL LFO (FLO) detergent doses were changed gradually to investigate effective contaminants removal through colorimetric study. Finally, concentration vs. absorbance graphs from colorimetric study suggests that 2% NaOH and 2% FLO detergent is the optimum chemical dose at hot washing for pcrPET recycling.

And Child Health

It is easy to agree with Dr. Norman Kretchmer regarding the problems of child health in the developing world, that we in our affluent society are not doing enough to alleviate their suffering. After all, it is a fact that we are 6% of the world population and we are constantly using 50% of the world nonrenewable resources. How long this can continue without the poorer majority objecting and taking our luxuries fronl us will be seen in the decades ahead.
