Various plastic wastes are generated after end use in the form of plastic bottles, plastic bags, bottle caps, straw, plastic cups, etc. These are generally made up of HDPE, LPDE, PP, PET, PS, etc. Therefore, this study focusses to utilise this wastage to make some value-added products. In this context, waste plastic bottles and containers made up of polypropylene and high-density polyethylene were targeted and shredded into small pieces ranging from 1.4 to 2 mm and mixed with additives in the extruder and hydraulic press to make circular sheets that can be used for electrical purposes. During the study, the effect of various process parameters on fabricated circular sheet properties such as tensile strength, melt flow index (MFI), and thermal conductivity were investigated. The developed non-linear theoretical models were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The gradient descent method is applied in BBD for estimating the optimum condition for fabricating a circular sheet. Under optimum conditions, the tensile strength and thermal conductivity were found to be 1535 MPa and 0.0312 W/mK, respectively, for the HDPE circular sheet using extrusion. The tensile strength, MFI, and thermal conductivity were determined using a Universal testing machine, melt flow tester (ASTM D1238), and Thermal constant analyser based on ASTM D1350.","PeriodicalId":8553,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Water, Environment and Pollution","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135141262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study highlights the effect of the estuarine part on the distribution and the flux of dissolved nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and silicon (Si) through the SE. Surface water sampling was taken and analysed in the dry (September 2016) and wet (April 2017) seasons. Physical parameters and water discharge data were jointly recorded in parallel to sampling dates. Very low flows varying between 0.3 and 4.7 m3 s-1 were recorded at the outlet in dry and wet seasons, respectively. The SE outlet waters were 2.6 and 10 folds higher than upstream in dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and phosphates (PO4) levels, respectively. However, the silicates (SiO4) levels decreased by about 1/2 in the outlet waters. In terms of flux, the SE delivered to the coast 84 t·yr-1, 9 t·yr-1 and 56 t·yr-1 of DIN, PO4 and SiO4, respectively. The high DIN:PO4 = 137 and low SiO4:DIN = 0.52 molar ratios classify SE as one of the strong anthropised estuaries. The estuarine part amply modifies cycles and budgets of riverine nutrients introduced to the coast.","PeriodicalId":8553,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Water, Environment and Pollution","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135141250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During summers, pollutants showed a reduction of 18.97%, 41.95%, 32.32% and 20.56% for PM1, NO2, SO2 and CO, respectively. In contrast, O3 showed an increase of 27%. The substantial reduction was also observed in the levels of secondary aerosols SO4 2- (71.15%), NO3-(21.86%), Cl- (65.63%) and K+ (8.16%). The elemental components Al, B, Be, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Pb showed a reduction in the range of 15.13 % (Al) to 71% (Cu). On the contrary, an increment was found in the levels of Ag (21.95%), Cd (62.5%), Cr (89.74%), Mg (10.43%) and Na (25.32%). Four factors were extracted by principal component analysis (PCA). In addition to the local sources, three stationary sources have been identified as contributing to the pollution load located in the WNW, NE and ENE direction of the site. It can be concluded that pollutant concentration and chemical composition of any area not only depend on the local emission, but nearby stationary sources and meteorology are significant contributors.","PeriodicalId":8553,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Water, Environment and Pollution","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135141255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dracaena marginata var. tricolor, Gratophyllum pictum, and Pedilanthus tithymaloides are plants that are often found on the roadside of Sidoarjo city and are often exposed to lead. This research aims to determine the ability of D. marginata var. tricolor, G. pictum, and P. tithymaloides as lead absorbents in the air and the relationship between lead content with plant chlorophyll content. This research is observational. Leaf sampling was carried out at 3 points in 3 locations, namely Buduran Street, Pahlawan Street, and Cemengkalang Street Sidoarjo. The lead content parameter was measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry and chlorophyll content was measured using Spectrophotometer. Data analysis using ANOVA test followed by Duncan test and quantitative descriptive. The result showed that D. marginata var. tricolor, G. pictum, and P. tithymaloides have the ability as lead absorbents in the air.

Their usage is also being encouraged by the central government and there are many subsidies in place as well. The tilt angle of the solar photovoltaic panel with the horizontal along with module orientation determines the transformation of energy into electricity. The optimum tilt angle for solar photovoltaic panels is considered for incident annual solar energy, this angle is usually kept unchanged for the year-round cycle. In this research work, we examine the optimum tilt angles of panels for the incident energy over panels on an annual and seasonal basis in combination with the shading effect of these panels over rooftops of Delhi (latitude 28.7° N), Nagpur (latitude 21.15° N) and Ahmedabad (latitude 23.02° N). Solar radiation data for the investigation purpose has been classified under 3 seasons, i.e., summer (May, June, July, August), winter (November, December, January, February) and equinoxes (March, April, September, October). It is observed that when panels are arranged facing down south and adjusted seasonally for optimum tilt angle; on an annual basis, they generate higher electrical energy and, in the summer, cast a larger shadow; in the winter, cast a smaller shadow as compared to panels which have fixed tilt throughout the year. This arrangement helps in reducing the solar heat flux via the roof in summer and increasing it in winter, thus, favourably affecting air conditioning load levelling in the structure.","PeriodicalId":8553,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Water, Environment and Pollution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47619113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
