This research focuses on the removal of emerging contaminants (CEC) present in synthetic aqueous matrices. Azole compounds were selected as CEC interest due to their persistence and toxicity, particularly triazole oxazole groups. These are also trace listed proposed revision Directive 91/271/EEC urban wastewater treatment 3rd European Union Observation List (Implementing Decision EU 2020/116), highlighting regulatory importance. The draft includes implementation quaternary treatments achieve...
Residual biomass gasification is a promising route for the production of H2-rich syngas. However, simultaneous formation pollutants such as light hydrocarbons (HCs), benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTEX), polycyclic aromatic (PAHs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) during must be controlled. As result, this study evaluated effect temperature catalytic reforming over Rh-Pt/CeO2-SiO2 catalyst steam sugarcane residual on syngas composition pollutant removal. The above was...
Abstract This study examines the presence of bisphenol A (BPA), S (BPS), F (BPF), and M (BPM) in various recycled plastics readily available on market (LDPE, HDPE, PET, PP), light European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) limits. Twenty samples different origin are analyzed, cleaning treatments applied, migration potential these bisphenols into food is studied. BPM absent all samples, but a post-consumer LDPE sample reveals high concentrations, raising concerns, reaching 8540 ng/g, 370 29 ng/g...
On the basis of laboratory experiments with model mixtures (active carbon+CuBr2 at different loads), this work studies formation polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) by de novo synthesis. For samples, temperature maximum carbon oxidation rate was determined thermogravimetric analysis, a kinetic proposed for degradation materials in an oxidizing atmosphere (synthetic air). The effect addition amounts CuBr2 studied, finding that its presence accelerates carbonaceous...
The presence of different pollutants in recycled plastics is reviewed this article. desirable circular economy should be linked to the availability clean with a non-significant and small nil amount substances concern. Different researchers found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), such as brominated flame retardants (BFRs), pesticides, dioxins furans (PCDD/Fs PBDD/Fs) plastic recyclates. This represents an added difficulty effective recycling process...
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) comprise a diverse group substances whose presence in the environment is increasing due to their potential negative effects on human health and environment. Multiple studies have concluded that nanofiltration (NF) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane separation mechanisms are effective barriers for organic pollutants, showing generally high removal efficiency. In this study, nine indicator CECs included Directive (EU) 2024/3019 concerning urban wastewater...
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) electric wires were subjected to dechlorination in subcritical water at three different temperatures a high-pressure reactor. About 2.09, 73.08, and 95.96 wt % of chlorine PVC was removed during 200 °C, 250 300 respectively. The solid residues analyzed characterized by thermogravimetry, heating rates (5 10 20 °C/min) inert oxidizing atmosphere. With the purpose studying emission chlorinated pollutants, pyrolysis experiments 850 °C also performed laboratory-scale...
Abstract In our lab, we have been studying the emissions of different pollutants during pyrolysis and combustion wastes under conditions for last three decades. These studies focused on effect temperature presence oxygen production pollutants. Waste decomposition has studied in a horizontal laboratory scale reactor, but no estimate made actual conventional thermal system. present study, these wastes’ were estimated using Aspen HYSYS. simulation software, waste composition (elemental...
By optimizing zeolite pore confinement, polymer diffusion and up-cycling efficiency in hierarchical catalysts are significantly enhanced, reducing plastic degradation temperatures providing a suitable route to sustainable plastic-to-fuel pathways.
