Question

Can you give mini project ideas regarding "conversion of waste materials to useful products " which is related to chemical engineering

Answer 1

The following projects that i have known regarding conversion of waste materials to useful products.

1. Algae is a waste biomas. We can take algae and dry it as much as possible. After that we can take PLA polymer and mix both of them in a certain proportion and extrude it in an extruder. After which, take the extruded material and use it to print in a 3D Printer of what shape we want. Thus, we converted a waste material to an useful product.

2. The steam that is produced away in an industry is a waste material. But, we can store up this steam and use it to heat up other material or else we can condense it to use in different places in the industry.

3. Waste plastic is of no use untill it is recycled. We take waste plastic and heat it up and melt it and convert to a desired shape of any product. Thus, these product can be used again for other purposes.
