カナダ
科学分野:
- 環境科学;材料科学;産業生態学
背景:
- プラスチックリサイクルの効率は、一次収集/選別と最終処理の両方に依存します。;プラスチック廃棄物リサイクルシステム全体を評価するには、統合されたフレームワークが必要です。
研究 の 目的:
- カナダにおけるプラスチック廃棄物リサイクル効率を2012年から2021年まで評価するための新しいフレームワークを開発および適用すること。;3つの新しい指標、すなわち一次転換率(PDR)、一次処理業者の効率(EPP)、および最終処理業者の効率(EFP)を導入すること。;全体的なシステム効率の包括的な評価のために、複合指標であるプラスチックリサイクルシステムの効率(EPRS)を作成すること。
主な方法:
- カナダのリサイクル量に基づいて、プラスチックを低、中、高グループに分類しました。;さまざまなプラスチックグループおよび樹脂タイプにわたるPDR、EPP、およびEFPの傾向を分析しました。;全体的なシステム効率を表す複合指標であるEPRSを計算しました。
主要な成果:
- 高および中程度のプラスチックグループはPDRの増加を示しましたが、低グループは減少し、転換の課題を示唆しています。;一次処理業者は低グループのプラスチックに対してより高い効率を示しましたが、すべてのタイプで選別/梱包パフォーマンスが低下しました。;最終処理業者の効率(EFP)は一貫して高く安定していましたが、全体的なEPRSは低く、減少していました。
結論:
- 低および中程度のプラスチックグループの転換率の緊急の改善が必要です。;一次処理段階での選別および梱包効率の向上は非常に重要です。;調査結果は、カナダのプラスチックリサイクルインフラストラクチャとパフォーマンスを強化するための重要な分野を強調しています。

Plasticizers
362
Water-reducers, or plasticizers, are chemical admixtures used in concrete to improve strength and workability. These additives reduce the water-cement ratio without compromising workability, lower the cement content while maintaining the same workability, or increase workability to assist concrete placement in inaccessible areas.
Plasticizers function by using surface-active agents to create repulsive electrostatic forces between cement particles. This dispersion enhances the concrete's...

Plasticity
3.1K
Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

Plastic Behavior
560
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Plastic Deformations
428
It is essential to understand how structural members behave under plastic deformation when the bending stress exceeds the material's yield strength. This state of deformation permanently alters the shape of the member, in contrast to the linear elastic behavior observed before yielding. The strain at any point in the member is expressed in terms of maximum strain. Notably, the neutral axis, which coincides with the centroid during elastic bending, shifts away from the centroid under plastic...

Plastic Deformations
452
Plastic deformation represents a fundamental concept in materials science, which explains the irreversible change in the shape of a material when it experiences stress beyond its elastic capability. This phenomenon is important in structural engineering, especially in designing and analyzing cantilever beams—structures that are securely fixed at one end and bear loads at the opposite end. When these beams are subjected to loads within their elastic range, they will return to their...

Recycling Endosomes and Transcytosis
3.6K
The recycling endosome, also known as the endosomal recycling compartment (ERC), is a part of the slow-recycling process of the endocytic pathway. Molecules internalized through receptor-mediated endocytosis are either degraded in the lysosomes or are recycled to the plasma membrane through the fast- or slow-recycling route.
The recycling endosome is not a single organelle but an extensively tubulated network of recycling pathways. It functions in storing molecules or transporting them across...
