Sub-nanograin metal based high efficiency multilayer reflective optics for high energies.

The present finding illuminates the physics of the formation of interfaces of metal based hetero-structures near layer continuous limit as an approach to develop high-efficiency W/BC multilayer (ML) optics with ML periodicity varying = 1.86-1.23 nm at a fixed number of layer pairs = 400.

Elemental analysis of residual ash generated during plasma incineration of cellulosic, rubber and plastic waste.

Management of plastic, rubber and cellulosic waste from various industries is a challenging task. An engineering scale plasma pyrolysis based incinerator has been commissioned for incineration of combustible waste, including plastic, rubber and cellulose. Operational trials of wastes with simulated composition show a weight reduction factor of more than 18 and volume reduction factor of more than 30.
