Researchers at Iowa State University are proposing dissolving waste polystyrene (PS) in biodiesel for use as a diesel engine fuel as a mechanism for energy recovery from the waste plastic. The US generated 251 million tons of municipal solid wastes in 2006, of which plastics accounted for 11.7 Credit: ACS. million tons.

Malic acid is used as a flavor enhancer in the food industry and can be converted into other chemical derivatives used for a variety of plastic, polymer and resin products. Novozymes has developed a fungus that enables production of malic acid from renewable raw materials instead of oil. C 4 acids can be converted into 1.4-butanediol

Bulk agricultural waste products, such as cellulose and lignin, are often targeted as feedstocks for the production of renewable fuels. The volumetric heat of combustion of the pinenes can further be improved by dimerization (the process of combining two molecules with the same chemical composition into a polymer). —Harvey et al.

This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer.
