“…However, in the search for alternative fuels and energy, the higher calorific value of plastics than wood-based oil, which is comparable to conventional diesel, has drawn attention over their exploitation [ 177 ]. Many researchers exploit this opportunity to better utilize plastic waste.…”

Excessive exploitation, negligence, non-degradable nature, and physical and chemical properties of plastic waste have resulted in a massive pollution load into the environment. Consequently, plastic entres the food chain and can cause serious health issues in aquatic animals and humans. The present review summarizes currently reported techniques and approaches for the removal of plastic waste. Many techniques, such as adsorption, coagulation, photocatalysis, and microbial degradation, and approaches like reduction, reuse and recycling are potentially in trend and differ from each other in their efficiency and interaction mechanism. Moreover, substantial advantages and challenges associated with these techniques and approaches are highlighted to develop an understanding of the selection of possible ways for a sustainable future. Nevertheless, in addition to the reduction of plastic waste from the ecosystem, many alternative opportunities have also been explored to cash plastic waste. These fields include the synthesis of adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from aqueous and gaseous stream, their utility in clothing, waste to energy and fuel and in construction (road making). Substantial evidence can be observed in the reduction of plastic pollution from various ecosystems. In addition, it is important to develop an understanding of factors that need to be emphasized while considering alternative approaches and opportunities to cash plastic waste (like adsorbent, clothing, waste to energy and fuel). The thrust of this review is to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the development status of techniques and approaches to overcome the global issue of plastic pollution and the outlook on the exploitation of this waste as resources.

“…This PRF includes reducing the cost of handling plastic debris that has been transported out of the factory using third-party services, reducing the use of fossil fuels, and making the factory clean from plastic waste. Compared to coal, plastic waste energy recovery is more environmentally friendly, and CO 2 emissions are 33% lower (Kumar et al, 2020). On the other hand, the pyrolysis process in PRF is an effective and environmentally friendly option for solid waste treatment to obtain a liquid fuel called pyrolytic oil or bio-oil (Pawar et al, 2020).…”

River debris is the main problem from the negative impact of poor waste management. The composition of river debris in Jakarta consists mostly of plastic waste. Plastic waste from river debris has an opportunity for energy recovery. This study aimed to see the potential for utilizing river debris in energy recovery in power plants. This research was conducted at three sampling shelter points in Pesing, Pluit, and Perintis. Waste generation and composition were quantified using the load count method on Indonesian state standards for seven consecutive days. River debris generation in Pesing, Pluitm, and Pernting averaged 7.2; 3; and 1.8 tons/day. More than 60% (w/w) of plastic bag waste was found in the Pesing and Pluit shelters, while 67.3% was found in the Perintis shelter. Based on the calorific value of each plastic waste, the energy potential from plastic waste recovery can reach 16,197,109 kWh/year. This is equivalent to an electricity supply of 0.05% of the total electricity demand in Jakarta.

“…Due to the acceptable nature of viscosity and plasticity bentonite is used in mortars and cement (Portland). The thixotropic behavior of bentonite supports civil works such as lubricant agents in foundations, horizontal directional drilling, pipe jacking, and tunneling (5)(6). The very conventional use of bentonite is the lubricating agent for cutting heads in oil and water well drilling.…”

The industry approach for natural montmorillonite clay has been reported. Modified clays have enhanced physicochemical properties with good acceptance characteristics for different types of industries, such as cement, pharmaceutical, paper, rubber, wood, and waste recycling processes. This innovative work deals with the promising behavior of mutated sodium bentonite concerning the elemental, thermal, structural, and morphological study. In this research, commercial sodium bentonite clay has been activated with 4M of sodium hydroxide. Characterization techniques of SEM/EDAX, FT-IR, XRD,TGA, and DTA/DSC have been reported to investigate mutated characteristics after the base activation. At atmospheric conditions, samples refluxed and calcined at 105ºC and 500ºC respectively for three hours. Anhydride, carboxylic acid, andalkyl halides have been removed after base treatment. The XRD data reveals that the crystallite size (average) is more than three times than the parental after mutation. The atomic and weight percentage of silicates have been improved respectively from 45.4% to 53.02% and 41.87% to 62.85%. Morphology shows an untreated sample has an unsymmetrical bed type layer that has been improved and a bunch of similar structure molecules has been found similar to the fibers. A sharp and smooth fall has been recorded due to perennial loss of hydroxyl groups and hydration water at 100ºC. The modified structure of the commercial sodium bentonite has a prominent behavior relevant to the different industrial aspects. The thermal analysis also satisfies that the different and useful micro structure is developed after base activation.
