Research Reports

Carpet Industry is a multibillion dollar industry. Worldover, Industries apart from production are also engaged in R&D activities to improve the efficiency and longevity of the carpet. Carpet manufacturing industry also involves lots of enviornment and the pollution issues. Various N.G.Os and research centers, and centers of higher studies have come out with various researches that identify not only the problems but also suggest their solutions. Some of the researches with respect to carpet Industry are mentioned below.

• 84 Glass Concrete Containing Recycled Carpet Fibers
  In the light of continuously growing disposal costs today’s waste streams are being studied with increasing care for their recycling potential. A straight forward approach to dispose large quantities of waste is its use as replacement of raw materials in largevolume applications, such as mass concrete or asphalt.
  
  
• Carpet Recovery and Reuse CARE Report
  In 2006, the reported recycling and diversion of post-consumer carpet increased from that reported in 2005. Although the increase was not as dramatic as previously anticipated, it appears
  
  
• Carpet Waste Combustion and Emission
  Transient puff emissions were characterized from burning carpet charges that were fed to a pilotscale rotary kiln combustor to assess the potential impact on emissions of using post-consumer carpet as an alternative fuel in cement kilns.
  
  
• Combustion of Post-Consumer Carpet in a Cement Kiln
  This paper reports on the results from cement kiln source sampling activities during two operating conditions: normal operation (firing coal at nominal load) and substituting shredded carpet for 15% of the total fuel value.
  
  
• Combustion of Waste Carpet in a Rotary Kilm
  Building decontamination and cleanup efforts from a biological warfare (BW) or chemical warfare (CW) agent terrorist attack typically result in a significant quantity of building decontamination residue (BDR).
