Cryogenic Carbon Capture Creating a Creditable Change
No full textThis work presents the design, development, and optimization of a Cryogenic Carbon Capture (C3) system. This configuration aims to eliminate excess carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the atmosphere via carbon separation, heat exchange, and a cryogenic cooler. The preliminary design is based on prior work on this topic, which has been modified to target specific obstacles such as system endurance and dissipated carbon capture due to environmental factors. The objective of the system is to capture 100 mg of CO2 per hour of machine operation. Experimentally, carbon separation is achieved by pumping air through a chain of desiccants to reduce moisture, which is then introduced to a series of sensors that measure initial pressure, flow rate, and carbon content; this air is fed into a tube filled with an adsorbent, zeolite 13, where the initial carbon capture occurs. After the air is passed through another series of sensors, it is determined whether to exhaust the air or subject it to another round of carbon capture using the cryogenic cooler. The cryogenic cooler deposits the excess CO2 on either a plate or pipe, producing a byproduct of solid CO2. Overall, simulations and initial work show that this process is effective in reducing the carbon content of the atmosphere
The Science and Economics of 3D-Printed Filament Recycling
No full textIn recent years, 3D printing has grown rapidly, both in homes and commercially. This has led to increased demand for plastic filaments, many of which contribute to plastic waste. This project explores the potential of recycling household plastics into 3D printing filament, promoting sustainability and creating a circular economy. Materials like PLA, PETG, ABS, and polypropylene can be recycled or even composted. Existing research has shown that recycled filaments can maintain comparable tensile strength to their virgin counterparts, depending on the recycling process. Furthermore, implementing circular economy practices for plastics could save billions annually by mitigating pollution and reducing landfill usage. Though consumer-level recycling systems face challenges regarding cost and scaling, companies like TerraCycle and Printerior have begun feasible collection and reuse programs. Overall, recycling 3D printing materials could reduce waste, conserve resources, and support sustainable manufacturing practices. However, continued improvements to material blends, extrusion methods, and recycling infrastructure will be essential for widespread adoption
Biological Filtration through Green Walls: Advancing Urban Air Quality Management
No full textClean air is an essential yet increasingly scarce resource in our rapidly urbanizing society. Green walls, or vertical gardens, offer a sustainable approach to improving air quality by integrating living plant systems into the built environment. These installations act as natural air filters, reducing pollutants such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds while enriching oxygen levels. Indoors, green walls can enhance occupant well-being by creating healthier, more breathable spaces, while outdoors they help to mitigate the cumulative effects of smog and urban pollution. Beyond purification, green walls also foster a deeper connection between communities and their environment, demonstrating how ecological systems can be harmonized with modern infrastructure. This presentation explores the conceptual role of green walls as a bridge between sustainable design and public health, emphasizing their potential to transform both interior and exterior environments into cleaner, more resilient spaces
