A design of a multistage recycling device for Marine plastic waste
Summary
This engineering design study describes a conceptual multistage marine plastic recovery device that uses crawler and conveyor systems to automatically classify and collect plastic debris across large, medium, and micro size categories. Researchers designed the system to address the diversity of plastic fragment sizes found in marine environments. This is an engineering design concept paper rather than an environmental sampling or toxicology research study.
Based on the research of Marine plastic garbage recovery method, the discussion of the recovery device and the understanding of the types of ships, this paper designs a multi-stage recovery device for Marine plastic garbage. This device according to the types of the existing Marine plastic garbage and recycling requirements, effective implementation for big (more than 50 cm diameter or width), medium (diameter and width are between 5 mm ~ 50 cm) and micro (diameter or width under 5 mm) type size grade plastic debris automatic classification recycling, determined the primary barb type crawler collection device, second level network intercept type garbage collection device and the third level based on the sponge and activated carbon micro plastic collection device. Recycling and storage of Marine plastic waste to effectively address Marine plastic pollution is consistent with the MARPOL convention on the protection of the Marine environment.
