Abstract

The challenge of engineers towards sustainability is
to promote zero manufacturing waste, develop molecules
that are not persistent, toxic and bio-accumulative as well
as to have no hazardous manufacturing processes. These
goals typically result in common practices among engineers
to design new processes and products and to upgrade the existing
ones satisfying the three aspects of sustainability i.e.
economic development, environmental protection and societal
goods. Examples for design of materials for sustainable
solutions will be presented in this paper. Porous TiO2 with
high surface area presents environmentally-friendly product
that purifi ed water. Powder technology was employed
in this investigation to design material with controlled porosity
where titania oxides transform into non stehiometric
Magnelly phases.
Silicate based wastes, like coal combustion ash, slag from
