Innovative separation and beneficiation techniques of various materials encountered in electrical and electronic equipment wastes (WEEE) is a major improvement for its recycling. Mechanical separation-oriented characterisation of WEEE was conducted in an attempt to evaluate the amenability of mechanical separation processes. Properties such as liberation degree of fractions (plastics, metals fe...

Plastic pollution is one of the most significant environmental issues worldwide During Covid-19 pandemic, single-use plastic containers have been overused due to a lock-down policy This led remarkable increase in municipal wastes An alternative method manipulate recycle them as construction and building materials The research introduces an idea using straw produce fibre-reinforced polymer compo...

Leather industry, one of the polluting industries because of generation of huge amount of liquid and solid wastes, also emits obnoxious smell because of degradation of proteinous material of skin and generation of gases such as NH3, H2S and CO2. Solid wastes are raw trimmings, fleshings, chrome shavings, buffing dusts and keratin wastes. Accumulation of these wastes lead to sludge problem and c...

Medical wastes include all infectious waste, hazardous (including low-level radioactive) wastes, and any other wastes that are generated from all types of health care institutions, including hospitals, clinics, doctor (including dental and veterinary) offices, and medical laboratories (42). 1 The main focus of concern has been on the portion of medical wastes that are defined as infectious, and...

Abstract Around the world, large amounts of plastic and glass waste have been collected. This work is given as a way to reduce this material. paper aims investigate how fired clay bricks' physical mechanical properties are affected by plastic/glass ( P/G) powder. It used replacement for clay, varying content 00/20, 05/15, 10/10, 15/05, 20/00 weight %. The ratio soil water remains constant 0.3. ...

The aim of this study is to convert mixed plastic waste into usable liquid fuel via pyrolysis technique using Ukpor clay as a low-cost catalyst and commercial grade kaolin. Waste was catalytically degraded in laboratory scale semi-batch reactor at temperature 400 °C, residence time 45 min, heating rate 16 ˚C/min. catalysts were characterized by XRF analysis while proximate the feed carried out ...

In recent years, the world has witnessed an enormous effort to find a replacement energy source that is more environmentally friendly and renewable. Face masks contain plastics lead another management problem as they are non-biodegradable. Thus, by turning agricultural waste with plastic additive into beneficial products like briquettes, solid can be minimized. this study, Imperata cylindrica m...

recently, the demands for the production of many different types of plastic wastes are greatly growing that subsequently, lead to the serious challenges in environmental considerations. since, these materials are rarely resolved by microorganisms, hence, their recycling to the useful materials is crucial. in the present study, we used a solution electrospinning technique to synthesize nano/micr...
