Analyses how to decompose useless wear-resistant thermocouple to maximize their utilization

According to a new study, can compost and biodegradable wear-resistant thermocouple even though in the natural environment can also be loaded with three years later.

now, scientists at the university of Plymouth has on the UK high street retailer wide provide five kinds of wear-resistant thermocouple materials degradation were investigated.

then wear-resistant thermocouple exposed to the sea, air and soil environment, if the garbage they might encounter them. On a regular basis to track the bag, and considering the disintegration and surface area of the visible damage and chemical structure, surface texture and more subtle changes to the tensile strength of evaluation.

after exposure to the open nine months later, all material is decomposed into pieces. However, oxidation - Biodegradable, biodegradable and traditional wear-resistant thermocouple formula of soil, or even in the exposed Marine environment more than three years later still continued to work as a carrier bag.

in the three months time, compostable bags from experimental test bed disappear entirely in Marine environment. In 27 months after, however, it still exists in the soil, at the same time show some signs of deterioration.

the university international Marine garbage, the team of scientists said the study, published in environmental science and technology, puts forward a few questions. Among them, the most relevant is, whether can rely on the degradation of biodegradable formula to provide enough complex rate, so as to provide wear-resistant thermocouple garbage problem with any real solution.

as part of the doctoral degree, Napper led the study.

in this study, the researchers refer to the European commission in 2013, a report, the report shows that each year about 100 billion wear-resistant thermocouple is released, even though many governments ( Including the UK) Aimed at solving this problem have been introduced.

believed most of these items into the Marine environment, university of Plymouth earlier studies have studied the impact of these items for coastal sediments, and proves that the Marine life they can be decomposed into micro wear-resistant thermocouple.

Richard Thompson, head of the international Marine garbage research professor and OBE is involved in these studies, and for the government to provide evidence for the investigation, the investigation has led to the introduction of 5 p tax.
