Abstract

This work focuses on the manufacture of self-locking pavement from a mixture of river sand and waste from the recovery of plastic film packaging of the cookie and confectionery JB and wastes plastic bags collected at the university campus of Vontovorona. The sand is sifted to select the appropriate granulometry, which is higher than 0.5 mm on the one hand, and that is lower than 0.5 mm on the other hand. The sand with a grain size greater than 0.5 mm is mixed with the plastic waste in accordance with the manufacturing dosage. Different proportions of sand/plastic waste ranging from 40/60 to 70/30 have been prepared. The absorption rate increases with the proportion of sand added. This is true for both types of plastic waste. This absorption rate is increased for the pavers with plastic bag waste as binders. For the latter, the lowest rate of 2.2 is close to the highest rate of 2.1 for paving stones with JB plastic packaging waste as binders. The obtained pavers have a good mechanical strength higher than 12,000 daN.

Abstract

The present study concerns the design and manufacturing of a mobile electric alembic, for its use in the distillation of three essential oils (EOs). The design was based on thermodynamic and fluid mechanics calculations to establish the sizing of the device. The heating source used is electricity using electrical resistors.  Tests were carried out to verify the ability of the alembic to extract some essential oils (Eos) from aromatic plant, such as Cinnamomum camphora, Cymbopogon citratus, Corymbia citriodora. The EO yields obtained were comparable to those described in the AFNOR. The results of the Gas Chromatography analysis were similar to the published data.
