TITLE: Black Mix from Alkaline Batteries as Pigment for the Manufacture of Inkjet Printer-Friendly InkNAME: Hazel A. LunasAddress: E. Pantaleon St. Hulo, Mandaluyong CitySchool: City of Mandaluyong Science High School | Abstract Used batteries are considered to be futile once the energy is drained. This contains a variety of components including chemicals and parts. Our study aims to recycle used batteries and make use of one of its component, black

    Toner consists of a dry, powdery substance that is electrically charged so that it adheres to a drum, plate, or piece of paper charged with the opposite polarity2. Common ingredients in toner are styrene acrylate copolymer, iron oxide, polymethyl, methacrylate, carbon black, polyester resin, amorphous silica, dyes, polypropylene, and waxes.3 As we see there are a lot of different ingredients, but styrene acrylate, carbon black and styrene copolymer, along with polyester resin are the most commonly used. Out of all of them, carbon black is the most dangerous compound. Carbon black, which the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified as a 2B carcinogen, or "a dust that is possibly carcinogenic to humans4. Carbon black is a key pigment. The synthesis of carbon black is an energy intensive process, as it requires burning hydrocarbons at extremely high temperatures at approximately 2000 degrees Celsius in order to obtain elemental carbon.5 Styrene acrylate copolymer is makes up approximately 80% of the mixture that is used in toners. This is classified as a resin and is the key ingredient in the xerographic process. Styrene acrylate copolymer is manufactured from a process called a batch emulsion polymerization. Exact formulations of this compound vary from manufacturer to…

    An electrochemical cell is s cell in which chemical energy in a redox reaction is converted to electrical energy. It consists of two half cells connected internally by a salt bridge and externally by wires. A hydrogen half cell is the standard electrode and all comparisons of the other half cells are made against this half cell which has an E( value of zero volts. The E( values of other half cells are obtained by measuring the total emf (electromotive force/Eocell) when attached to a standard hydrogen electrode. All standard reduction potentials are measured with a solution concentration of 1 mol L-1, gas pressures of 101.3 kPa and at a temperature of 25(C (except for #). A table of standard reduction potentials has been recorded so the E( values of half reactions can be accurately known and referred to.…

    In today’s systems there are three types’ printers, Dot Matrix, Inkjet, and Laser. The first Type is Dot Matrix; this Printer uses a cluster of pins that strike the ink ribbon much like a type-writer. This form of typing is used for multi-part printing. The second type is Inkjet; this printer uses two different forms of printing. The first is Thermal Bubble and the other is Piezoelectric Technology. The third type is Laser; these printers use a six step printing process. Some of these steps involve 600 volts of positive and…

    Only once in a lifetime will a new invention come about to touch every aspect of our lives. An important technology integrated into our society and around theworld is the invention of the Battery. Among many inventions of our modernworld, the battery stands out as an amazing on going development with its effect on almost every portable electric powered device. An electrical battery is acombination of one or more electrochemical cells, used to convert storedchemical energy into electrical energy.The primary, and arguably most noble, intent of the battery is to assist inmankinds pursuit of practicality. Electricity had always fascinated human kindsince our ancestors first witness of lightning. In ancient Greece, Thales observedthat rubbing amber, for which the Greek word is electro, could generate anelectric charge. In 1938 a jar was found just outside of Baghdad, Iraq that may beor could be the first battery.Nowadays battery is used to power, advanced machine, electric appliances andmajority of electronics that are integrated to mankind. Having fulfilled its duty toprovide practicality for human to operate electronics, the battery could be titledas one of the most important inventions ever made. There are currently twotypes of battery, disposable batteries which are designed to be used once anddiscarded when they are worn out,and rechargeable battery which are designedto be recharged and reuse until their ability to store electrical energy decreasedrastically.Normally a battery such as the AA, C or D has two terminals, one is markedpositive and the other one is marked negative. In a battery, electrons collect onthe negative terminal of the battery. The electrons will flow from the negative tothe positive terminal as fast as they can. Normally, you connect some type of loadto the battery using a wire, without any load the battery will wear out veryquickly.This also tends to be dangerous, especially with large batteries.With the…

    The creation of the battery was invented in 1859 by a man named Gaston Plante. Over the years as technology advances so do they batteries adding different materials like nickel, zinc, lead, graphite, carbon and toxic acids such as acid, magnesium dioxide, and hydrochloric acid making it one of the most helpful inventions known to mankind. Throughout our everyday lives a lot of things we use require a battery. The disposable battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy this is done by an anode the negative side, a cathode the positive side of the battery which are then placed in an electrical circuit making our television remotes, cordless phones, children’s toys, radios, cars and many more things function. Even though there are many different forms of batteries like AAA, AA, C or D they all have the same function. The battery has adapted into our lives as it makes our lives so much convenient and provides us the ability to make most of out of our electrical inventions using portable power. Since this product is in such high demands production companies keep producing and making money and we people keep consuming. But what happens to these batteries after their drained, we throw them out, and since not all of us recycle off to the landfill it goes. The problem that arises is consumers and producers fail to realize is how this product is damaging our environment because everyone is so caught up in the idea of making money and using modern day technology. Along with batteries come negative social impacts and how it leads us to the topic of global warming. Producing and consuming the rechargeable battery is in fact so detrimental to our world that toxic ingredients being used in this product are poisoning our water, polluting our air and contaminating our soil during the process of disposing and creating.…

    Tea is created using the leaves of Camellis Sinesis that can be found in China, South Asia, and Southeast Asia but now found in Japan and Korea. This research and experiments are only limited to making a simple ink as a colorant. This will benefit us by producing an alternative for other inks. Set-A seven teabags, one tablespoon of vinegar, a bag of cornstarch, a strainer, a fork and a bottle put you teabags in a boiling water ,wait for six minutes, remove the tea bags from the boiling water, then strain it ,while stirring add vinegar, continue stirring and add dissolved cornstarch then finish, and Set-B with seven tea bags and bottle. Put your tea bags into boiling water, and then wait for six minutes, then finish. Based on the results, an alternative ink can be made out of tea bags, and an ink made out of tea bags mixed with vinegar and cornstarch has more consistency and strength in color.…
