Hybrid Adsorbent & Electrochemical AOP for Challenging Wastewater
Industrial processes can produce effluents that are challenging in terms of strength, variability and composition. Treatment of industrial effluent is complex and depends very much on the load and process nature of the wastewater stream. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are commonly used to deal with recalcitrant COD as a final polishing step in -
Multi-functional Chemical Composite Recycled from Waste Ash
Ash from power plants, such as coal ash or biomass ash, causes tremendous air pollution and mostly ends up in landfills as harmful waste. A start-up company has developed the technology and process to recycle waste ashes to reduce its harm. In the case of coal ash, harmful elements including F, Se, B, Cr, As, etc are removed using proprietary proce -
Plasma Generator for Air Sanitisation
The technology developed herein is related to an plasma generator which generates reactive oxygen species to eliminate bacteria, viruses, harmful gases and odourous substances. Indoor environments, such as hospital rooms or livestock pens, can greatly benefit from the improved air quality to reduce the harm of diseases and pollution. Air steriliser -
Catalysts for Valorisation of Organic Waste Mixed with Plastic
A significant amount of plastic waste is difficult to recycle due to contamination, mixing with other types of plastic and the use of multi-layer packaging. Chemical recycling is a promising method that can convert difficult to recycle plastics into fuel, carbon or petrochemical feedstocks in a cost-effective manner. The technology owner has develo -
Fast Dissolving Concentrate Tablet for Cost Efficient Hand and Surface Sanitisers
Extensive sanitation needs arising from COVID-19 are adding high costs to both businesses and consumers. Such costs are mostly related to the supply chain, and involve processing, transportation, and storage of dangerous substances. Furthermore, the packaging of finished sanitation products consumes large amounts of shelf space at the point of sale -
Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation for Textile Effluents
Environmental pollution is one of the major challenges that the world face today. Our water resources are threatened by contamination from industrial wastewater namely volatile organic pollutants generated from the petrochemical, textile, pharmaceutical, chemical, and automotive industries. A class of compounds that is of great concern are the orga -
Catalysts for On-site Treatment of Organic Waste Mixed with Plastic
There are mainly three methods of recycling plastic waste. Mechanical recycling, thermal recycling, and chemical recycling. A lot of plastic waste is, however, hard to recycle because it is mixed, contaminated, multi-layered, thus no longer mechanically recyclable. Thermal recycling is along with GHG emissions, high CAPEX and OPEX, centralised syst -
Supercritical Water Oxidation System for Treating Challenging Wastewater
Industrial wastewaters are usually treated by a combination of chemical and biological treatment methods. In some cases, COD and BOD levels are too high to be treated by these conventional methods and are sent directly for incineration which is often energy-intensive and costly. Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is a technology that is capable o -
Food and Textile Waste Biorefinery
In the recent years, there has been a growing demand for biotechnology-based processes for material, chemical and fuel production to minimise the environmental impacts that chemical technology based alternatives may cause, and an increasing need to reduce waste generation amidst resource and environmental concerns. A research team has developed an -
Enzymatic Baby Diapers Recycling
In recent years, diaper waste has received a lot of attention due to the high volume produced and the difficulty in recycling. In fact, in the European Union, the annual market demand for disposable baby diapers exceeds 20 billion units, dramatically increasing the amount of dry weight waste (1.3 t/min). Despite their high value components, especia -
Novel Technology for Odours and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Removal
Removal of malodours and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are of key importance to improve air quality and overall quality of life. A proprietary technology based on the use of cucurbiturils has been developed for the capture of unpleasant smells and volatile compounds. The technology is several orders of magnitude more efficient than current stat -
High Performance Nanofiltration-Membrane Bioreactor and Reverse Osmosis System for High Recovery Water Reclamation
Reclaimed water is a critical source of water in Singapore and globally. Common practical limit of existing technology based on microfiltration/ultrafiltration-membrane bioreactor (MF/UF-MBR) + reverse osmosis (RO) for water reclamation is 75-85% recovery due to RO membrane fouling. A hybrid system consists of a high retention nanofiltration-membra -
Recycling Lithium-ion Battery Cathodes Using Deep Eutectic Solvents
As the consumption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for the transportation and consumer electronics sectors continues to grow, so does the pile of battery waste. Lithium-ion battery waste retains value particularly in the form of metal ions in the cathode part of the device, but few standardised methods exist to extract, recover, and reuse these pre -
A Green and Safe battery Made From Recycled Nuclear Fuel With No Need for Recharge or Replacement
A UK company has developed a battery that does not run out. This is by using recycled nuclear waste and it converts radiation energy into electrical energy. Because it uses nuclear waste that stays radioactive for thousands of years, it can also produce electricity for thousands of years as well. In other words, it is a battery that never runs out, -
