Study of the Environmental Impact of Waste Generated During Polyethylene Production at the Socar Polymer Plant
Summary
This paper is a duplicate entry of ID 2268, examining the same study on environmental impact of polyethylene production waste at the SOCAR Polymer Plant.
This paper presents a detailed analysis of the environmental impact of high- and low-pressure polyethylene production processes. The composition of waste generated during the synthesis, polymerization, and granulation stages is investigated. Particular attention is paid to emissions of volatile organic and inorganic compounds, wastewater contamination with heavy metals, and the problem of microplastics in the form of industrial granules. An analysis of the qualitative and quantitative composition of gaseous, liquid, and solid waste was carried out.

Study of the Environmental İmpact of Petroleum Product Waste Generated During Polyethylene Production at the SOCAR Polymer Plant
Researchers analyzed the environmental impact of polyethylene production at the SOCAR Polymer plant, examining the morphological composition of waste generated during synthesis, polymerization, and granulation stages and quantifying emissions of petroleum product waste with implications for microplastic pollution.
Study of the Environmental Impact of Waste Generated During Polyethylene Production at the Socar Polymer Plant
An analysis of waste from polyethylene production at an industrial polymer plant identified significant environmental impacts, including emissions of volatile compounds, heavy metal contamination in wastewater, and the release of plastic pellet (nurdle) microplastics during manufacturing. This highlights industrial plastic production facilities as a direct source of primary microplastic pollution that is often overlooked compared to consumer-side plastic waste.
Petrochemical industry as a source for microplastics; abundance and characteristics of pollution in soil, sewage, and bay
This is the first study to track microplastic pollution from a petrochemical industrial site through its soil, wastewater, and into the nearby bay. Soil near the production facilities contained up to 4,620 microplastic particles per kilogram, and significant amounts passed through wastewater treatment into open waters. The research shows that plastic manufacturing facilities are a direct and substantial source of microplastic contamination in the environment.
Preliminary Investigation of Microplastics in Sediments from Industrial Manufacturing Waste Sources
Microplastic contamination was investigated in sediments from industrial manufacturing waste sources, finding that plastics -- particularly polyethylene particles -- accumulate in sediments as repositories for both point-source and diffuse microplastic pollution.
