This thesis deals with a description of the industrial machine of the DWT (drywall tape) rewinder. The winder rewinds and cuts the drywall tape tape into smaller tapes, that are then sold. The first part contains a description of the winder, its structure and functions of its individual parts. The second part contains a description of the control system and the power wiring of winder. The next section contains a description of programming and setting of PLC, frequency inverters, and touch panel. Some modifications are then described when putting the winder into operation. The winder has been successfully implemented and built into a continuous shift operation. However, the development of the rewinder continues to improve its features and user-friendliness.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has a direct impact on our health, as more than half the air we inhale throughout our lifetimes is indoor air. With an increasing trend in dampness in modern buildings due to urban expansion into wetland environments and increased use of gypsum board in construction, hydrolysis in indoor surface films has been suggested to be an important chemical process in the indoor environment. Several synthetic esters (SEs) found in building materials, electronics, and consumer products may undergo hydrolysis to produce harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to which building occupants may be exposed. In this dissertation, the impact of hydrolysis on indoor air quality is explored by experiments on alkaline hydrolysis kinetics and ventilation, followed by simulations of VOC production from hydrolysis. Alkaline hydrolysis kinetics of four SEs, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate (TMPD-MIB), butylparaben (BP), bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), and butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP), in bulk solutions are investigated in chapter 2. With concentration decay profiles following pseudo first-order kinetics, the second order-rate constants were determined from measured pH values. The determined rate constants of the aforementioned SEs are compared with those of respective ester categories (e.g., parabens, phthalates), and the steric/polar effects of the ester substituents are discussed in detail. The results of this study contributed to the completion of the indoor chemistry box model GAMMA-CIE which was used for simulation studies in chapter 4. Room-level ventilation measurements in educational spaces across different US regions (e.g., Northeastern, Southeastern, Western) are presented in chapter 3. In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, ventilation data on a room-by-room basis were critical in planning a safe reopening in schools and universities. Three major approaches to ventilation measurements are outlined in this chapter: direct flow measurement, controlled release, and passive/in-situ monitoring. The application of these approaches is presented in case studies across various educational institutions, showcasing their advantages and disadvantages. The frequently observed range of 0.5-5.5 ACH in this study is taken into account in simulation conditions in chapter 4. The predicted indoor generation of VOCs from alkaline hydrolysis of SEs occurring in surface aqueous films is discussed in chapter 4. Simulations were performed using GAMMA-CIE, which considers aqueous hydrolysis kinetics, interphase mass transport, and loss by ventilation. Three different scenarios were studied: (1) installation of PVC flooring on concrete; (2) coating of latex paint on concrete; and (3) uptake of airborne SEs by surface aqueous films. The simulation results suggested that: (1) the rate of hydrolysis of DEHA and DEHP from PVC flooring is not fast enough to generate high concentrations of 2-ethylhexanol observed during episodes of sick building syndrome (SBS); (2) fresh application of latex paint may cause acute exposure to 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol (TMPD); and (3) hydrolysis of SEs diffused from indoor air is unlikely to produce significant amounts of alcohols associated with SBS.

Atualmente, as legislações ambientais e os consumidores estão cada vez mais exigentes e restritivos em relação ao adequado tratamento dado aos resíduos industriais. Neste contexto, a logística reversa tem por objetivo gerenciar os fluxos reversos, fazendo com que bens e produtos com pouco uso após a venda, com ciclo de vida útil ampliado ou após extinta a sua vida útil, retornem ao ciclo produtivo, readquirindo valor em outros mercados. Baseado em uma revisão bibliográfica, um estudo exploratório e um trabalho de campo, composto por entrevistas, analisa-se as possibilidades de aplicação do conceito de logística reversa na cadeia produtiva da Construção Civil, particularmente em relação aos fluxos de Resíduos de Construção e Demolição - RCD, como forma de contribuir para a sustentabilidade do ambiente construído. Expõe-se de forma ampla, os fatores intervenientes no processo de implantação dos sistemas logísticos reversos para RCD e os condicionantes e benefícios decorrentes desta aplicação, considerando os aspectos técnicos, econômicos e ambientas do reaproveitamento de RCD. A partir do estudo das práticas atuais de gerenciamento de RCD em empresas construtoras e de algumas experiências estrangeiras, conclui-se sobre as necessidades de avanço das práticas e legislações brasileiras relacionadas ao gerenciamento de RCD, e sobre o papel dos fornecedores no estabelecimento e consolidação de sistemas logísticos reversos - SLR. A aplicação do conceito é realizada na cadeia produtiva de Chapas de Gesso Acartonado - CGA, para a qual é proposto um sistema logístico reverso - SLR-CGA, englobando-se a caracterização dos agentes, as tecnologias de aproveitamento para resíduos de CGA e os mercados disponíveis para a sua reinserção, dentre outros pontos. São realizadas simulações de viabilidade econômica de possíveis cadeias reversas de CGA. A partir das alternativas viáveis, conclui-se sobre o efeito da implantação destas sobre a cadeia produtiva de CGA. Conclui-se que a implantação de um sistema logístico reverso consiste em uma ferramenta organizacional que pode ajudar companhias a resolver impactos econômicos e ambientais e criar novos negócios na cadeia produtiva da Construção Civil. / Currently, environmental legislation and pressure of consumer awareness are getting more stringent and restrictive in relation of the proper treatment gave to the industrial wastes. In this context, reverse logistics systems aims to manage the reverse flow, making with that facilities and products with little use after sales, useful life cycle extended or extinct, return to the productive cycle, to regain value still incorporated in them. Based on a bibliographical research and a survey, the possibilities of application of reverse logistics concept in Civil Construction productive chain is analyzed with focus on construction and demolition wastes (CDW).This analyze contribute for the sustainability in Civil Construction. The intervenient factors in the reverse logistics systems implementation is discussed, such as the benefits from the application, taking into account technical, economical e environmental aspects of recycling. The analyze of current CWD management system, mainly in building sites, avoids to conclude about Brazilian necessities and the important role that producers can have in this systems. The application of the concept is done in the drywall gypsum board supply chain. For this chain, a reverse logistics syste for gypsum board wastes (GBW) is proposed approaching the stakeholders, technologies of GBW and markets for recycled product, among another aspects.
