Due to the 'forever' degrading nature of plastic waste, waste management is often complicated. The applications are ubiquitous and inevitable in many scenarios. Current global plastics production ca. 3.5 MMT per year, with current trend, will reach 25,000 by 2040. However, rapid growth manufacture material's inherent resulted accumulation a vast amount garbage. recycling rate <10 %, while large volumes discarded cause environmental ecological problems. Recycling rates for vary widely region...
Recycling e-waste is seen as a sustainable alternative to compensate for the limited natural rare earth elements (REEs) resources and difficulty of accessing these resources. facilitates recovery valuable products minimizes emissions during their transportation. Numerous studies have been reported on recycling using various techniques, including thermo-, hydro- biometallurgical approaches. However, each approach still has technical, economic, social, or environmental limitations. This review...
Co-pyrolysis of wastes with other feedstock can synergistically improve the rate biomass decomposition and also help to resolve issues related limited availability feedstock. In this regards, synergistic interaction between during co-pyrolysis is an important aspect research. As constituents aquatic lignocellulosic are different, pattern dissimilar when compared biomass, it understand whether these two biomasses interact co-pyrolysis.Synergism in microalgae (MA), swine manure digestate...
Emerging contaminants (ECs) represent a small fraction of the large chemical pollution puzzle where wide variety potentially hazardous chemicals reach environment, and new compounds are continuously synthesized released in wastewater treatment plants ultimately effluent biosolids. ECs have been classified into various categories; however, this article focuses on fate major categories, namely pharmaceutical personal care products (PPCPs), per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), flame...
The gasification of green algae Chlorella vulgaris in air was investigated using both a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and bench scale horizontal axis quartz tube reactor (HQR). full range solid state kinetic models produced best fits with TGA results varied for the five subzones conversion vs temperature, nucleation nuclei growth "A2" followed by "A3" or contracting volume producing close matches T ≤ 367 °C, zero-order model between 358 468 surface ≥ 458 °C; each yielding their set...
In this study, a potential circular economy approach for macroalgae (Ulva ohnoi) was investigated considering the crucial stages of biorefinery. Important stages, such as drying biomass, production biochar (pyrolysis), and application phosphorus removal were studied reported. It is important to note that biomass from an average wet basis moisture content ca. 70–85% suitable thermal conversion, 10%, challenging task. The physicochemical properties well characterized correlated with their...
Effects of alkali ceramics, Na2ZrO3 (NZ) and Li4SiO4 (LS), were quantified in the catalytic pyrolysis sawdust, using thermogravimetric analysis kinetic modeling. Results indicated that ceramics able to initiate thermal decomposition at lower temperatures enhanced H2 yield. The mean activation energies estimated by Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) Friedman methods within range 162–166, 114–116, 112–117 kJ mol–1 for sawdust (SD), mixed with (SD-LS) (SD-NZ), respectively....
Pyrolytic characteristics of three different organic solid wastes, municipal waste (MSW), digested MSW (DMSW), and swine manure (SWD), were investigated at heating rates 10, 15, 20 °C min–1 in a thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with mass spectrometer. Three stages devolatilization, dehydration (0–200 °C), decomposition major structural components (200–500 residue (500–800 appeared during the pyrolysis all samples. The devolatilization stage (stage II) is characterized peaks 319, 379, 438...
