Extraction of Lead from Battery Pastes and Galena Ore by Hydrometallurgy Method
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 -
Low Cost and Low Energy Forward Osmosis for Wastewater Treatment
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 -
High Value Added Completely Biodegradable Packaging Materials from Agricultural Residues
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 -
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, -
Optical Fibre-Based Humidity Sensor for Harsh Environments
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 -
Method for recycling heavy metals contaminated particles
(Phương pháp tái chế các kim loại nặng gây ô nhiễm) This abstract is currently in preparation. -
Upcycled Ingredients to Fight Climate Change
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 -
Use of Silica Nanoparticles for Transforming Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) Fly Ash into Composite Filler
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 -
Synthesis of Dye Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) from Agricultural Wastes
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 -
Gold Bio-Recovery for E-Waste
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 -
A Frozen-free and High Efficiency LNG Cold Recovery and Utilization System
In comparison with the combustion of diesel oil, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a type of cryogenic clean fuel, which is the crucial impetus of the country economy. It is an attractive solution to use it as engine fuel for cruises, barges, inner river ships as well as some heavy trucks. Before being burned, LNG will be vaporized and superheated to -
Eco-friendly PET Chemical Recycling Technology

The plastic recycling market, specifically the PET sector, is one area which companies are developing technologi -
Banana Fiber and Coconut Coir Geotextile (BACONET)
Soil erosion and land degradation are global problems that pose major issues in many countries. One of the solutions employed for soil erosion is the use of temporary, degradable geosynthetics to prevent loss of soil from the seedbed and to enhance the growth of vegetation where the vegetation alone should provide sufficient site protection once es -
Value Added Agricultural Waste Valorisation
The company aims to add value to agriculture, making it greaner, and reducing the extent of waste and byproducts resulting from our food production. It strives to do so without impinging on the food supply itself. The developed processes take waste and byproducts from agriculture and agriculture processing and upgrade them to value added products. -
From Zero to Hero : Re-purposing of Tofu Whey into Fermented Beverages
A large amount of tofu whey is generated on a daily basis as a waste by-product from the manufacture of tofu. Tofu whey, if not properly treated prior to its disposal, can cause environmental problems such as water pollution, especially when improperly disposed of. In addition, the treatment of tofu whey prior to its disposal is costly, and adds on -
Latent Heat Storage for Improved Efficiency in WtE plants
With an average heating value of 10 MJ/kg from the municipal solid waste (MSW), an estimated 500 kWh e /tonne waste of energy can be generated from the incineration of MSW. This amount has the potential for higher energy recovery by using higher steam parameters (i.e. temperature and pressure), yet it is limited due to (i) corrosion of ferrous tube
