Polylactic acid is a new type of biodegradable material made from starch raw materials derived from renewable plant resources (such as corn). ...
The bio-based production of other industrially significant nylons, such as nylon 6,10 and nylon 12,10, can be achieved using bio-based decanedioic acid.Precursors of Biodegradable Plastics1,4-BDO and succinic acid for PBAT and PBSPBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate) and PBS (polybutylene succinate) are synthesized using 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) as a monomer, but they require ...
This study evaluated two biofilter designs to mitigate methane emissions from landfill vents. Water-spreading biofilters were designed to use the capillarity of coarse sand overlain by a finer sand to increase the active depth for methane oxidation. Compost biofilters consisted of 238-L barrels containing a 1: 1 mixture (by volume) of compost to expanded polystyrene pellets. Two replicates of ...
