Polymer pellets are formed using air to influence the separation of polymer from a polymer melt. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a polymer material is extruded through a nozzle to form a polymer melt extending from the nozzle. A non-uniform thickness is generated in the polymer melt using a gas or gasses to apply a drag force to the polymer melt. This drag force reduces a thickness of a portion of the polymer melt adjacent the nozzle, and the polymer melt is fractured into discrete droplets at the reduced thickness. The discrete droplets are then solidified to form pellets.

The present disclosure provides methods for stabilizing a colloidal dispersion during transport for low defect tolerance applications. The methods involve eliminating fluid interfaces within a dispersion, storing the dispersion in an environment of inert gas, and degassing the dispersion. Several bottle closure devices are described which may be ideal for use with these methods, being able to seal a container filled with a dispersion, permit the removal of headspace and rapidly empty the contained dispersion. In one aspect, the device includes a vented cap and semi-permeable membrane, which allows the passage of gas into and out of the container, and a dispenser nozzle integrated with the device to allow a stored dispersion to be dispensed without removing the device from the container. In another aspect, the bottle closure device includes an attachment point for a removable downtube and dispenser nozzle.

This disclosure relates method and system for systematic disposal and dynamic procurement of recyclable waste resin. Typical systems for disposal and procurement of recyclable resin pose challenges such as lack of segregation and collection of different types of plastics, data on recycling centers in proximity, uncertainty over resin identification codes, and so on. The disclosed system provides a framework having multiple smart collection units that may be communicatively coupled with a server. The smart bins are capable of collecting plastic items and taking multiple images thereof. The system determines information on type, weight, and location of the plastic resin in the plastic item by means of a trained CNN model, and stores in a repository. The system further includes a route optimization model that is enables selection of a set of collection units for procurement of the resin (of a specific type and a specific quantity).

Filter material, mainly in form of industrial remnants from the production of the filter fillings, is processed without the intake of the heat in such a way that it is cut in the disintegrator () at the presence of the air, where the material is during retention time repeatedly led to the contact with the rotating blades and bunches emerge in the disintegrator () through aeration. The flat carrier () is thus at least partially disintegrated to the original fibers (); the released fibers () intertwine into bunches and the active carbon () is released from the original bond with the flat carrier (). The swirl (vortex) created inside the disintegrator () carries the dust particles of the active carbon () and they adhere to the surface of the fibers (). Part of the released active carbon () is—after the separation—carried away from the emergin bunches, which in the lower part of the disintegrator () run through the sieve out of the disintegrator (). The resulting product is advantageously applicable as heat and noise isolation in all fields of technology, for example construction. The separated active carbon () in form of granules is also a resulting product of processing.
