Waste management has become a critical issue as cities run out of landfill sites - the traditional method of disposing waste - as they grapple with rising waste volumes due to growing urban populations and limited land availability. A Polish company offers a waste-to-energy (WTE) solution that simplifies waste management by converting biomass and w

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been the preferred portable energy source in recent decades. The tremendous growth in the use of LIBs has resulted in a great number of spent LIBs. Disposal of these spent LIBs will cause serious environmental problems due to hazardous components such as heavy metals and electrolytes. Materials contained in the spe

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

This technology provides a more eco-friendly solution to convert non-biodegradable plastics into fuels and chemical feedstocks. In Singapore, about 96% of the plastics waste is incinerated, which contributes to Singapore's CO 2 emissions and aggravates global climate change. The remaining 4% is recycled only after the plastics have been cleaned and

Mixed plastic input is cut into 10-12 mm and enters an extruder where it is melted at 200-250°C and oxygen is eliminated. The melt continues to be heated up by the superheater at 350-400°C, producing oil vapor. Subsequently, the turbulent flow medium enters the heated tubular reactor (550-600°C). The blades built into the reactor anneal the partial

Currently, most of the reported meat sauce fermentation processes are based on the natural fermentation of koji under high salt conditions, which is prepared by culturing a mold (such as Aspergillus oryzae ) on a mixture of cooked soybeans and wheat flour, and the fermentation duration ranges from 3 months to 12 months. To prevent the growth of spo

This invention is related to a novel chemical process for extracting and recycling lead from lead acid battery paste and lead ores using a batch of non-acidic and non-hazardous solvents. This method is based on the complete dissolution of all lead compounds except metallic lead at ambient conditions and without using furnace or strong acids to extr

The rapid evolution of forward osmosis (FO) within the last decade has led to the commercial implementation of the technology in the power generation sector and will address the desalination markets and the re-use needs for industrial need. Unlike reverse osmosis which uses the application of high applied pressures, FO involves the energy free and

Most commodity goods are packaged using synthetic polymers (plastics) and are treated as one-time use. Hence, considerable amounts of packaging waste ends up in land fills. Efforts to replace plastic packaging with biodegradable packaging have met with limited success. For instance, current biodegradable packaging materials are either expensive or

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 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,

This optical fibre sensor has been developed in cooperation with an industrial collaborator that has an application requiring a sensor capable of measuring humidity in a harsh waste water treatment environment. The sensor employs a Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) which acts as the basis of the Relative Humidity (RH) sensor design and the humidity sensing

(Phương pháp tái chế các kim loại nặng gây ô nhiễm) This abstract is currently in preparation.

Company's patent-pending technology upcycles by-products and solid food waste into high-protein high fiber ingredients. Company's process was tested at the University of Minnesota, scalability tests resulted in investment from manufacturing partner Cereal Docks. 50% protein concentrate and 35% protein flour showcased at trade shows in 2018 resulted

In order to convert MSWI fly ash into useful materials, the toxic heavy metals in the ash has to be removed or stabilized. The current technologies such as electrochemical, sintering and vitrification have many limitations, i.e. high cost, high-energy consumption and the generation of more waste. Our technology is featuring a practical, scalable, l

This current technology is a synthesis of dye carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) from agricultural wastes (e.g rice straw, bagasse and corn cob) by cooperation of encapsulation and spray drying techniques. It can be applied to be used as food and non-food additives such as stabilizers, thickeners and plasticizers. Dye CMC is more useful as it contains c

The companyis an environmental technology provider to general & hazardous waste industry, food & beverage industry, horticulture,agriculture and farming industry introduces our highly advanced magnetic plasma system as an alternative green solution for handling and clean reduction of solid waste. The innovativeMagnetic Plasmasystem uses plasma tech

The recall of the Galaxy Note 7, it has been estimated, will produce 157 million tonnes of precious metals used in the manufacture of the device. While this is an extreme example electronic waste is the fastest growing portion of municipal waste. As the amount of E-waste grows so does concern over the current treatment methods used such as chemical
