Description
The processes represented by this dataset include shredding, washing, dewatering, and melt extrusion granulation of waste plastics. Heating is conducted via electric heaters. Wash water and cooling water are recycled with only a small portion discharged externally. Activated carbon is used to adsorb volatile organic compounds emitted during production, while particulate matter generated during production is collected and released into the atmosphere. Spent activated carbon and waste filter nets are classified as hazardous waste and are handled by licensed enterprises. Waste packaging materials, primarily composed of plastics, are treated by incineration. Dried sludge and sorted waste are transported offsite by municipal sanitation agencies for disposal.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of producing recycled plastic pellets by high-temperature melting of waste PP plastic. It includes energy and auxiliary material consumption, waste generation, and emissions of air pollutants during the production of recycled plastic pellets.
