Polyethylene Abstract Polyethylene is the most common thermoplastic and used in a wide range of applications. There are various commercial technologies available to produce polyethylene. The annual global production is approximately 80 million tonnes. Its primary use is in packaging (plastic bag, plastic films, containers including bottles, etc.). Many kinds of polyethylene are known, with most having the chemical formula (C2H4)nH2 in which the density is carried by changing pressure and temperature .Most important types are High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and low-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Contents Abstract 1 List of Figures 3 Introduction 4 Theory 4 Classfication 4 High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) 5 Processing Techniques 5 Low density polyethylene (LDPE) 6 Processing Techniques 6 Linear low-density polyethylene 9 Processing Techniques 9 Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene 10 Processing Techniques 10 Structure and properties: 11 Conclusion 11 Difference in Density 11 List of Figures Figure 1 : Polyethylene 4 Figure 2: LDPE 7 Figure 3 : Autoclave and tubular high pressure technology 8 Figure 4 : LLDPE Plant Layout 10 Introduction Polyethylene is derived from either modifying natural gas (a methane, ethane, propane mix) or from the catalytic cracking of crude oil into gasoline.
Nicholas Graziano Lindsay Byron English 1101 November 5, 2009 America’s Top Cash Crop What if I were to say there was a plant that could provide one of the world’s strongest fibers, create the paper that the Declaration of Independence would be drafted on, be worn as one of the most durable and comfortable fabrics, and even be ingested as a dietary supplement? Well this plant exists and it is called hemp. Hemp is well known in most parts of the world for its enormous industrial benefits. The hemp plant can easily be grown throughout the world and flourishes in many parts of the United States. However, in America this plant is a target of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) because hemp is widely confused with marijuana,

It is believed that the prolongation of World War II can be attributed to Albert Speer’s efficiency as the Minister of Armaments and War Production. There are a number of factors which contribute to this, some of which include: Speer’s profound competence and efficiency, his talent for organisation, the mobilisation of women and the extensive use of slave labour. Due to these aspects of Speer’s leadership Germany saw a significant increase in munitions production which, in turn, prolonged World War II by at least one year.

The Engineering & Construction unit accounts for over 70% of the company’s total revenues and is the industry that the company is most well known for. Within this industry, 44% of SNC-Lavalin’s 2013 revenues were generated from Infrastructure & Environment (24%) and Power (20%). The company has incentive to expand its footprint in these particular market segments since other markets such as Oil & Gas and Mining & Metallurgy are highly saturated and mature (REF). Furthermore, governments are focusing their efforts on environmental initiatives (Huffington Post, 2012); SNC-Lavalin can therefore take a first mover advantage in this area. By focusing on projects that cater to the Environment and Clean Power markets, SNC-Lavalin can not only attain large-scale growth and attract government support, but it can also strengthen its new image as an ethically compliant and socially responsible firm.
Popular Mechanics magazine (1938) said that hemp was “the new billion dollar crop,” stating that it “can be used to produce more than 25,000 products, ranging from dynamite to Cellophane”(Small purdue.edu). Hemp’s most important uses come from its stalk. The fibers that are harvested from hemp’s stalk can be used to make products such as textiles, paper, building materials, and other industrial products (Roulac 15). The leaves, seeds, cell fluid, and the whole hemp plant are also used to create a large number of other products. Hemp fiber could be used to make a large variety of papers, which would help decrease the paper industries dependency on wood.

It is a $16 billion dollar industry with one to two percent annual growth that is divided into three segments: architectural coatings, original equipment manufacturing (OEM) coatings, and special-purpose coatings. Architectural coatings account for 43% of the total industry dollar sales, and is estimated to be valued at more than $12 billion dollars for U.S. sales.
