This study casts light on the potential of microplastic generation during plastic recycling - an unintended consequence process. To date, microplastics have been detected in wastewater and sludge from facilities; however, pathways, factors minimisation strategies are understudied. The purpose this is to identify affecting generation, namely, type weathering conditions. size reduction phase, which involved mechanical shredding waste material, was identified be predominate source generation....
This study reports a facile technique to synthesize and tune the cationic polymer, poly(3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride (PAPTAC), in terms of molecular weight surface change for harvesting three microalgae species (Scenedesmus sp., P.purpureum, C. vulgaris). The PAPTAC polymer was synthesised by UV-induced free-radical polymerisation. Polymer tuning demonstrated regulating monomer concentration (60 360 mg/mL) UV power (36 60 W) obtained evaluated different compared commercially...
This review aims to summarise the current state of art technologies for phosphorus recovery from waste and wastewater. Information corroborated here shows a clear relationship between PO4-P content in liquid phase cost recovery. In fact, all commercial scale operations this involve phosphorus-rich stream. most cases, is achieved via two key steps: solubilising into water then phosphate chemical precipitation/crystallisation. Recent development has also included enrichment pre-treatment rich...
To move towards a circular society, the recyclability potential of littered plastics should be explored to provide value for product that is typically destined landfill or incineration. This study aims understand changes in physical, mechanical, and chemical properties four types (polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) polylactic acid (PLA) after simulated environmental degradation. Plastic samples were subjected different water matrices (in an attempt...
Quality assurance of a recycled product is currently one the biggest issues that plastic recycling industry faces. The purity input waste stream has significant influence over quality product. This research evaluated impact polylactic acid (PLA) contamination within high-density polyethylene (HDPE) recycling. ultimate tensile strength was noted to reduce by 50% when PLA at 10%. An investigation into effect UVA radiation (simulating solar radiation) on HDPE contaminated with also performed...
This review aims to critically evaluate the role of anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) for wastewater treatment and at same time reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. Data corroborated in this...
This study investigated biochar addition to improve the performance and stability of anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) resist different oil contents in food wastewater treatment. Results show that an increase content synthetic from 2 4 g/L oleate-Na aggravated AnMBR terms methane (CH4) production fouling as showed by obvious transmembrane pressure (TMP). The reduced was caused accumulation volatile fatty acids (VFAs) inhibit growth activity Methanobacterium response increased content....
