The application of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to dissolve metal oxides in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) recycling represents a green technological alternative the mineral acids employed hydrometallurgical processes. However, DESs are much more expensive than and must be reused ensure economic feasibility LIB recycling. To evaluate DES reusability, role choline chloride-ethylene glycol decomposition products on dissolution was investigated. temperatures generally applied carry this leaching...
Lithium recovery from end-of-life Li-ion batteries (LIBs) through pyro- and hydrometallurgical recycling processes involves several refining stages, with high consumption of reagents energy. A competitive technological alternative is the electrochemical oxidation cathode materials, whereby lithium can be deintercalated transferred to an electrolyte solution without aid chemical extracting compounds. This article investigates potential selectively recover Li LIB materials by direct extraction...
Abstract Background A major obstacle to the application of microalgae for bio‐fuel production is light intensity reduction in high density cultures. Mixotrophic operation can solve this problem by exploiting ability grow on organic carbon dark conditions. In article, mixotrophic growth Nannochloropsis oculata and Chlorella vulgaris analyzed. The influence nitrate glucose concentration cell 300 mL Erlenmeyer flasks was investigated using an experimental factorial design. analysis extended...
Microalgae are a promising source of starch with the potential to reduce land and water footprints as compared terrestrial plants. However, so far, there no specific downstream processes recover microalgal starch. In this work, development lab-scale biorefinery produce is described. Guidelines provided on how set up microalgae cultivation, attaining until 37% content 0.48 g L–1 d–1 productivity in 500 mL photobioreactors. Cell lysis by ultrasonication ethanol was studied, obtaining better...
Abstract Graphene Oxide (GO) is a two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial largely exploited in many fields. Its preparation, usually performed from graphite an oxidant environment, generally affords layers with broad size distribution, overoxidation easily occurring.
Here, we investigate the formation, along Hummers synthesis of GO, carbon nanoparticles isolated GO and characterized through morphological spectroscopic techniques. The purification methodology here applied based on dialysis...
Research and development in photovoltaic panel (PVP) recycling have evolved to maximize recovery, including less valuable but non-renewable materials. Early relied on low-cost physical processes failed produce glass pure enough for the industry, except construction. A process involving crushing, sieving, thermal treatment, fine fraction leaching, wastewater treatment required 75,000 tons/year capacity achieve a payback time under 6 years. High-value recovery requires advanced methods...
