Plastic production is skyrocketing due to convenience needs and thus, the amount of plastic waste increasing. There are several different methods handle waste, within which waste-to-energy processes viable options in certain settings. However, combustion materials a complicated complex process that can take place number ways. When exposed heat, polymers behave differently (e.g. have emission factors) not all types recommended be handled through combustion. Therefore, it vital achieve deeper...

Consumer society requires the continuous evolution of products, thus generating a lot waste. The automotive industry has also undergone significant development, 1.5 billion used tires worldwide every year. Landfilling is prohibited and their disposal therefore major issue. Although many studies deal with utilization tire as fuel, there limited research that would specifically describe relationship between pollutant emissions from combustion emitted pollutants firebox temperature. Based on...

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) has a significant threat not only to human health but also our environment. In Hungary, 54% of PM10 comes from residential combustion, which includes the practice household waste burning. Therefore, this work aims investigate quality combustion through flue gas concentrations (CO, CO2, O2) and identify evaluate negative impacts PM PAHs generated during controlled lab-scale different mixed wastes (cardboard glossy paper, polypropylene polyethylene...

In this work, α-tocopherol and trolox were studied as compounds that have high biological activity. α-Tocopherol is considered a food additive because the refining process of vegetable oils causes depletion vitamin, thus, its inclusion required to keep them from oxidizing. Computational tools determined antioxidant activity these additives. The geometries molecules optimized using two density functional methods, including M05-2X M06-2X, in combination with 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set. results...

Growing concerns about the emissions of plastic products have caused many major changes worldwide in recent years. Legal requirements, health concerns, expectations customers and global automotive industry to produce increasingly safer encouraged development new analysis methods introduction emission standards by car manufacturers. The substances responsible for volatile (VOC SVOC content) from flexible polyurethane foams (e.g. seats) were studied 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 days after production...

Over the last decade, public has been paying increasing attention to reducing greenhouse gas and acid rain emissions particulate matter, which is extremely harmful health environment. To improve air quality, European Commission achieved a range of measures reduce pollutant in transport, heat electricity, industrial agricultural sectors. In Hungary, amount solid pollutants from fuel combustion used by during heating season represents significant percentage total present atmosphere. 2016,...

In Europe mainly at winter season the PM levels exceed air quality limits, which correlated with operation of solid-fired boilers. More and more people are returning to using these devices due Russian-Ukrainian conflict energy shortage caused by pandemic. addition, phenomena co-burning fuels municipal waste in residential boilers primarily fuel poverty households increases further amount pollutants atmosphere. Therefore, our research aims establish a correlation between quantity emitted type...
