Environmental engineering: Stepwise pyrolysis of plastic waste
Kinetic data obtained from micro thermogravimetry and gradient free reactor experiments confirm that different molecular structures of commodity plastics bring about different reaction mechanisms of thermal decomposition, different reaction rates, and different temperature dependencies of the decomposition rates.

Environmental science and engineering applications of nanocellulose-based nanocomposites
Compared with cellulose, the primary component of the paper we use every day, nanocellulose has a much smaller diameter (typically <10 nm) that renders it many unique properties. Amongst many others, these properties include high mechanical strength, large surface area and low visual light scattering. Nanocellulose can be obtained by disintegration of plant cellulose pulp or by the action of specific types of bacteria. [3]
Impact of Reject of Dairy Wastewater into the Aquatic Environment: Case of the Bayo Dairy Company (Brazzaville-Congo)
The development of industrial activities is the source of the production of large quantities of wastewater. The last-mentioned are rejected in the environment often without any prior treatment and have serious short-term and sometimes long-term environmental consequences. [4]
The Analysis of Coal Mining Impacts on West Virginia’s Environment
Aims: The paper analyzes the impacts of coal mining activities on West Virginia’s environment using GIS.
Study Design: Adopted a mixscale appoach.
Methodology: The aproach is applied to GIS and primary data connected to descriptive statistics by analyzing the impacts of mining with data collected at the state, county and watershed level. [5]
