R GLU - Marine Water to Fresh Water

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Conventionally, as a flocculent for use in such wastewater treatment, synthetic polymer flocculants such as poly acryl amide have been frequently used. However, with this coagulant tends to accumulate in the environment for less likely to be degraded to be released to the environment, it had been pointed out to be toxic.

So,

Reducing Climate Change with Waste to Energy

PROBLEM 1: Global climate change is one of the world’s biggest challenges.

Climate change is recognized as a major issue worldwide. The rising atmospheric temperatures and rising ocean levels are largely attributed to increases in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

GHG mostly consist of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) The GHG absorb heat and release it gradually over time.

Reduction of VOCs from Coal Combustion: Functionalized Cross-linking of Hierarchical Adsorption and Photocatalytic Oxidation

1 With the development of the global economy, the prevention and control of atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become a serious challenge in the field of industry and power generation. The VOCs are bio-accumulative, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic, which are important inducements that cause complex atmospheric pollution, induce haze, and photochemical smog.
