WASTE MANAGEMENT
WHAT IS WASTE MANAGEMENT?
 Waste management is the process of treating solid
wastes and offers variety of solutions for recycling items
that don’t belong to trash.
 It is about how garbage can be used as a valuable
resource. Waste management is something that each
and every household and business owner in the world
needs.
 Waste management disposes of the products and
substances that you have use in a safe and efficient
manner.
 WHAT IS E-WASTE?
 'Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded
electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which
are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or
disposal are also considered e-waste.
 "Electronic waste" or "E-Waste" may be defined as
discarded computers, office electronic equipment,
entertainment device electronics, mobile
phones, television sets, and refrigerators.
 Is e-waste hazardous?
 Discarded electronics contain hazardous materials. If disposed
improperly, they pose a potential threat to human health and the
environment.
 E-Waste accounts for 40 percent of the lead and 75 percent of the
heavy metals found in landfills. Although safe when used, once
electronics are discarded in a landfill, the acidic conditions provide
an environment in which lead and other heavy metals may leak
out.
 If the landfill's liner fails, the groundwater supply may become
contaminated.
 There are some potentially hazardous
elements found in computers:

 Lead (Pb)
 Cadmium (Cd)
 Mercury (Hg)
 Hexavalent Chromium (Cr)
 PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride Plastics)
 Brominated Flame Retardants (Pb)
RECYCLING SCENARIO IN INDIA!!!
 E- waste recycling is presently concentrated in the informal sector.
 Operation are mostly illegal.
 Process are highly polluting.
 Recycling operation engage in :-
DISMANAGEMENT
SALE OF DISMANTLED PARTS
VALUABLE RESOURCE RECOVERY
EXPORT OF PROCESS WASTE FOR PRECIOUS METAL RECOVERY

….expected to rapidly change with formal recyclers

setting operation.
 THERMAL CRACKING !!!
 Modern high-pressure thermal cracking operates at absolute pressures of about 7,000 kPa. An
overall process of disproportionation can be observed, where "light", hydrogen-rich products are
formed at the expense of heavier molecules which condense and are depleted of hydrogen. The
actual reaction is known as homolytic fission and produces alkenes, which are the basis for the
economically important production of polymers.
 Thermal cracking is currently used to "upgrade" very heavy fractions or to produce light fractions
or distillates, burner fuel and/or petroleum coke. Two extremes of the thermal cracking in terms
of product range are represented by the high-temperature process called "steam cracking"
or pyrolysis (ca. 750 °C to 900 °C or higher) which produces valuable ethylene and other
feedstocks for the petrochemical industry, and the milder-temperature delayed coking (ca.
500 °C) which can produce, under the right conditions, valuable needle coke, a highly crystalline
petroleum coke used in the production of electrodes for the steel and aluminium industries

PROJECT LOON
 PROJECT LOON
Project Loon balloons travel approximately 20 km
above the Earth’s surface in the stratosphere. Winds
in the stratosphere are stratified, and each layer of
wind varies in speed and direction. Project Loon uses
software algorithms to determine where its balloons
need to go, then moves each one into a layer of
wind blowing in the right direction. By moving with
the wind, the balloons can be arranged to form one
large communications network.
How Balloon is Designed ?
The inflatable part of the balloon is called a balloon envelope.
A well-made balloon envelope is critical for allowing a balloon
to last around 100 days in the stratosphere. Loon’s balloon
envelopes are made from sheets of polyethylene plastic,
and they measure fifteen meters wide by twelve meters tall
when fully inflated. When a balloon is ready to be taken out of
service, gas is released from the envelope to bring the balloon
down to Earth in a controlled descent. In the unlikely event
that a balloon drops too quickly, a parachute attached to the
top of the envelope is deployed.
 Connection
High speed internet is transmitted up to the nearest
balloon from our telecommunications partner on the
ground, relayed across the balloon network, and then
back down to users on the ground. We have
demonstrated data transmission between balloons
over 100 km apart in the stratosphere and back down
to people on the ground with connection speeds of
up to 10 Mbps, directly to their LTE phone .
