Why Engineers Should Read More Novels

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
What do engineers do? And what should they work on? A surprising answer is outlined in this essay, which argues that reading novels holds the key for addressing both questions. Novels train the imagination as well as our ethical abilities – skills that are essential for developing future‐proof technologies.

Thermal degradation of impact‐modified PMMA in mechanical and chemical recycling

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a thermoplastic with outstanding tensile strength, UV resistance, and a high level of transparency that has been used widely for optical applications such as glazing in the automobile industry. Mechanical recycling, the most widespread method, degrades the physical properties and prevents reusing PMMA in ...

Synergistic Co‐Pyrolysis of Tannery Sludge and Oyster Shells for Enhanced Chromium Speciation Transformation and Recovery Efficiency

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Oyster shell (OS) as a sustainable calcium source for chromium recovery from tannery sludge via co‐pyrolysis. OS outperformed CaCO3, achieving > 95% Cr recovery, attributed to its organic matrix proteins enhancing adsorption and phase conversion. The oxidation of tannery sludge Cr(III) to Cr(VI) improved recyclability, aligning with circular economy ...
