Man invents machine to convert plastic oil
Make STEVE AUSTIN plastic oil 2010 09 06.
Although plastic is one of the most versatile synthetically produced materials in the world, it is also one of the substances harmful to the environment produced by man and given its utility in a myriad of industries and areas of life, it is impossible to give up plastic together plastic was accused guilty on several accounts, but those who are straining the already depleting resources - the way it is arranged and the production process consider this - one plastic bottle takes about 1,000 years to decompose completely.
But what is more worrying is the fact that plastic unlike other materials can be recycled easily Typically made from petroleum, it is said that about 7 percent of total world oil production a year is used for the manufacture of plastics This rate is higher than the oil consumption of Africa plastic recycle rate around the globe is woefully low carbon footprint includes incineration and filling of plastic waste land is also causing heavy pollution on beaches and oceans around the world tons of plastic from Japan and the United States is left afloat in the Pacific ocean, which is considerably marine life threatening.
Thank you to those who genuinely appreciate the higher energy content of plastic, the world now has a wonderful invention that can convert the oil to plastic back Akinori Ito CEO, Blest, a Japanese company has invented a safe and user-friendly machine easy to use to perform this conversion machine is effective in recycling different types of plastic in oil According to data released by plastic waste management Institute - efficient use doesn t just take into account the 20 percent recycled plastic But it also considers incinerated 52 percent used for energy recovery as the production of electricity or heat Akinori Ito said If we burn the plastic, we generate toxins and a large amount of CO2 If we convert oil, we ban the production of CO2 and at the same time, raise awareness about the v alue plastic waste.
The machine uses an electric heater that controls the temperature instead of the flame, the conversion technology is quite safe machines are able to recycle polystyrene polyethylene and polypropylene numbers 2-4 PET bottles falling under number 1 polypropylene, however, can not be treated as a result, there is obtained a raw gas that can be efficiently used to power stoves or generators After refining, it can even be used to power the motorcycle, a boat or a car one kg plastic using a kilowatt electricity is capable of producing 1 liter of this oil cost about 20 cents.
Blest manufactures these machines in various sizes and until now were installed at 60 locations, including fisheries, farms, small plants in Japan and abroad to make a machine that anyone can use is my dream said Ito the house is the oil field of the future considering the fact that 30 percent of Japanese households waste is plastic - most of it comes from the packaging - the declaration of Ito's definitely not as crazy as it seems at present, the smallest version of the machine is 9,500 price now constantly refining its technology and research before getting a product that can be made available in the poorest countries world.
It is the educational aspect of this invention that Ito is passionate about many occasions, he took the model aircraft for the Marshall Islands Here he worked in collaboration with schools and communities to educate people on the culture of recycling and a great value useless plastic Ito did as part of a project, it took a few years the program was successful and he also offered a practical solution to get rid of plastic by tourists the produced oil has been used for racing boats and sightseeing buses.
According to Ito, the introduction of this concept for school children, their parents and teachers is the most important work in Japan, it shows how the packaging straw and rest after lunch could be recycled He also adds that if we had to use oil from plastic rather than oil fields, could be significantly reduced, he questioned sarcastically world of its waste is not the CO2 emissions of the world, this plastic is everywhere and everyone throws.
The oil may be extracted from the fine grain, organic-rich rock, sedimentary by pyrolysis, or thermal dissolution hyderogentation Shale contains high concentrations of organic chemical compounds known as kerogen from this solid mixture, the oil is extracted with a chemical shale method can be effective converted fuel oil shale gas and liquid hydrocarbon oil shale global deposits shale are estimated at approximately 2 8000000000000 to 3 3 trillion barrels of oil returnable planet earth is blessed with about 600 deposits of oil shales known, most of which is found in United States of America Although several countries have hale deposits of oil, known economically important deposits only found in 33 countries.
Bio diesel, vegetable oil, ethanol are also classified in hydrocarbon fuels to hydrogen producing anaerobic fall under non-hydrocarbon biofuels.
Natural gas obtained by tight sands can be considered conventional natural gas produced from unconventional reservoirs the rate of this type of sand making extraction unprofitable oil that niche technologies should be used to create non-resources conventional aid from the US Department of energy projects and research has resulted in advancing the technology to develop and edit the unconventional gas produced.
