DEEP LEARNING BASED ON MULTICAST SEGR OF E WASTE |
In this design, the categorization of global artifacts into recyclable and non-recyclable is proposed. Degradable artifacts encompass materials naturally decomposed by microorganisms, such as organic waste. The waste from degradable materials can be repurposed through composting. On the other hand, non-degradable plastic artifacts consist of materials that do not naturally decompose, like plastics and inorganic elements, which can only be reused by transforming them into new products. This study employs deep learning methodologies, specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), for the classification task. Using images as the dataset, a percentage is allocated for training, validation, and testing. Pretrained neural networks within deep learning models are employed. The algorithms’ performance is evaluated by classifying artifacts into degradable and non-degradable plastics. This study aims to enhance waste management by providing a method to identify, track, sort, and process artifacts based on their classification. The classification into degradable and non-degradable categories is particularly significant for environmental monitoring and marine conservation efforts. YOLOv5’s efficiency in object detection, combined with its adaptability to different debris types, positions this project as a valuable tool in addressing the environmental challenges associated with marine pollution. Through the integration of cutting-edge technology, this initiative contributes to enhancing our understanding of the composition of sea debris and aids in the development of targeted strategies for sustainable marine ecosystem management. |

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE TREATMENT METHODS USING LCA APPROACH |
India produces 62 million tonnes of waste annually, with 70% collected, and only12 million tonnes treated, while 31 million tonnes end up in landfills. The generation of municipal solid waste is expected to rise to 165 million tonnes by 2030 due to changing consumption patterns and rapid economic growth. Solid waste poses significant environmental, social, and economic challenges if not managed properly. Improper disposal of waste can lead to pollution of land, water, and air, causing harm to ecosystems and human health. It also contributes to the depletion of natural resources and exacerbates climate change through greenhouse gas emissions from landfill sites and waste incineration. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool can be used for environmental assessment of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) system and helps to incorporate LCA models to simplifying the MSWM systems and for the calculations of environmental benefits and burdens. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of MSWM system in kundrathur town, under four different scenarios.i.e, Open composting (S1), In vessel composting (S2), Enhanced biological phosphorous removal (S3) and bio-drying (S4) using LCA tool. The scenarios were compared using Open LCA software with ecoinvent database (Recipe midpoint (H), impact 2002+). Scenario 2(In-vessel composting) and Scenario 4(Bio-drying) was found to have the least environmental impacts on global warming (33.053 and 13.884 kg Co2 eq), human toxicity (41.7 E-3 and 12.208 kg1, 4-DCB), eutrophication (0.42 and 0.239 kg PM 2.5 eq), ecotoxicity (6.956E-4 and 22.004E-4 kg1, 4-DCB), acidification (2.956 and 3.18 kgSo2eq), carbon monoxide (0.341 and 0.245 kg) and ozone formation (0.536 and 0.158 kg NOx eq). |

In the study investigating the Sustainable Use of Alternative Materials in Concrete Production through Partial Replacement of Cement with Coconut Shell Ash and Sand with Glass Powder, the sustainable use of alternative materials in concrete production is investigated to reduce environmental impact while maintaining structural performance. The study evaluates the feasibility of utilizing coconut shell ash (CSA) as a partial replacement for cement. Concrete mixes with varying replacement levels (5%, 10%, and 15%) were investigated. At 28 days, the compressive strength ranged from 25.47 MPa to 30.98 MPa, and the tensile strength values were found to be 2.2 N/mm2, 1.9 N/mm2, and 1.7 N/mm2 for 5%, 10%, and 15% replacement levels of CSA, respectively. The corresponding environmental impact reductions in global warming potential exceeded 15% to 5%. Based on the structural performance and environmental impact, the optimal replacement level was determined to be 5%, achieving an average compressive strength of 28 MPa, and over 5% reduction in global warming potential. This project also investigates the potential of utilizing glass powder (GP) as a sustainable alternative to natural sand in concrete production. By replacing natural sand with GP at 20%, the study compares the tensile strength, compressive strength (cubes and cylinders), and flexural strength of the resulting concrete with that of high-performance concrete made with natural sand. The initiative not only offers an innovative solution for waste glass disposal but also contributes to a greener environment through the adoption of GP in concrete manufacturing. The findings from this investigation demonstrate the potential for utilizing coconut shell ash and glass powder in concrete production to achieve sustainable and environmentally friendly concrete with enhanced mechanical and durability properties, thus contributing to the advancement of sustainable construction practices. |

SUSTAINABLE ECO-FRIENDLY CONCRETE USING PLASTIC BOTTLES AND POLYPROPYLENE FIBERS |
Issues with environmental protection are currently being experienced. Though more and more buildings throughout the world are incorporating eco-friendly design concepts on a daily basis. In order to solve this problem, small amount of plastic fibers were added to the M25. This study explores the use of waste Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles that are used as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate and Polypropylene (PP) as fiber, as 100% natural coarse aggregate replacement is not feasible. The characteristics such as specific gravity, fineness, consistency, setting time, soundness and compressive strength are analyzed. The specific gravity and water absorption of the coarse aggregate were determined to be 2.74 and 1.19 %, respectively, while the fine aggregate’s values were found to be 1.40 % and 2.65. A 0.50 water-to-cement ratio was used to make concrete of the M25 grade. For 2.5% coarse aggregate replacement with 0%, 1.0% and 1.5% of PP fiber, water absorption was reduced by 4.08%, 10.20%, 18.36%, and 22.44% respectively. The mix concrete by 2.5% PET bottle fiber with 0.5% PP fiber showed a 14.67% increase in compressive strength compared to the control sample. If the fiber content exceeds 2.5%, the strength decreases due to decreased bond strength between fibers. When the 2.5% plastic PET bottle fiber and 0.5% PP fiber mix concrete is compared to the Control concrete sample, the split tensile strength of the former exhibits a 2.64 % strength improvement. |

METHOD OF IMPROVING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED COURSE AGGREGATE CONCTRETE THROUGH PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF GLASS WASTE AGGREGATE |
This research project presents an innovative approach to enhance the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) by incorporating broken glass waste (BGW). The methodology involves procuring recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) from construction and demolition waste, followed by rigorous crushing, sieving, and cleansing processes to meet quality standards. Subsequent enhancement of RCA is achieved through mechanical treatment and bio-deposition using urease-producing bacteria, ensuring optimal conditioning. The integration allows for partial replacement of treated RCA with BGW at varying rates, resulting in well-proportioned RAC mixes. Additionally, a comprehensive comparative analysis of mechanical treatment and bio-deposition treatment for enhancing the properties of recycled aggregate concrete, focusing on compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths, is presented. The results reveal that the bio-deposition method consistently outperforms mechanical treatment in terms of compressive strength, with the bio-deposited mix incorporating 20% broken glass waste exhibiting the highest strength at 39.18 kN/m2. While the comparison for tensile strength varies, the bio-deposited mix with 20% broken glass waste achieves the second-highest strength at 3.25 kN/m2. Regarding flexural strength, the bio-deposited mix with 20% broken glass waste showcases the highest strength at 5.33 kN/m2. These findings underscore the superior performance of the bio-deposition method in enhancing concrete properties, particularly at 20% broken glass waste incorporation. However, the mechanically treated method remains efficient and economically viable, especially for applications prioritizing cost considerations. Overall, the optimum percentage for achieving high strength appears to be 20% broken glass waste replacement in place of recycled coarse aggregate, irrespective of the treatment method employed. |
