Catalytic co-pyrolysis of woody biomass with waste plastics: Effects of HZSM-5 and pyrolysis temperature on producing high-value pyrolytic products and reducing wax formation

Xuanjun Jin et al.

Summary: The study found that co-pyrolysis of pine and PE significantly reduced oxygen content and increased product HHV. A higher plastic ratio resulted in more wax production, affecting condensation performance in bio-oil capture. A pinewood sawdust to PE ratio of 3:1 yielded the highest petrochemicals and least wax formation.

Conversion of refuse derived fuel from municipal solid waste into valuable chemicals using advanced thermo-chemical process

Mukesh Bhatt et al.

Summary: The study investigated the thermo-chemical decomposition of RDF from municipal solid waste, analyzing the composition and quality of the oil and char products produced. The quality of pyrolysis products was found to vary with feed composition and operating temperature, with maximum oil yield obtained from RDF containing a high percentage of plastics. The interactions between RDF components played a significant role in the composition of pyrolysis oil.

Life cycle assessment of plastic waste end-of-life for India and Indonesia

Edward Ren Kai Neo et al.

Summary: Developing countries like India and Indonesia face challenges in managing plastic waste, leading to widespread plastic pollution with negative impacts on the ecosystem and human health. A study comparing the environmental impact of plastic waste end-of-life (EOL) treatment in India and Indonesia found that India had lower environmental impact due to higher rates of mechanical recycling. Open burning was identified as a major contributor to climate change, while landfills were a major contributor to marine ecotoxicity. Sensitivity analysis identified key parameters that influence waste management outcomes. Future scenario analysis suggests that increased investment in mechanical recycling can help reduce mismanaged plastic waste and support carbon reduction goals.

A desert in the ocean - Depauperate fouling communities onmarine litter in the hyper-oligotrophic South Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Sabine Rech et al.

Summary: This study is the first extensive study of marine invertebrates rafting on floating anthropogenic debris in the eastern SPSG. The complexity of the rafts was found to be the most important predictor of epibiont richness, while fouling cover was significantly correlated with raft volume and surface area. This suggests that the hyper-oligotrophic conditions of the SPSG limit fouling growth, and the nutrient gradient between HCS and SPSG acts as a filter for coastal taxa.

Can incineration completely eliminate plastic wastes? An investigation of microplastics and heavy metals in the bottom ash and fly ash from an incineration plant

Maocai Shen et al.

Summary: Investigation of microplastics and heavy metals in the fly ash, bottom ash and soil samples from a waste incinerate plant revealed the presence of high abundance of microplastics, with heavy metals adsorbed on their surfaces. The column test showed that these pollutants can be significantly dissolved out under external precipitation, leading to potential environmental impacts. This study provides a theoretical basis for further research on the proper treatment of waste ash and its environmental behavior.

Removal of rubber, bitumen and other microplastic particles from stormwater by a gross pollutant trap-bioretention treatment train

Katharina Lange et al.

Summary: This study found that stormwater treatment trains can effectively remove rubber, bitumen, and other microplastic particles from highway runoff, with filter cells playing a major role in this removal. The Gross Pollutant Trap (GPT) did not significantly reduce microplastic concentrations, highlighting a weakness in the system design. Both vegetated bioretention cells and non-vegetated sand filters performed similarly in removing microplastic particles.

Towards low-temperature catalysts for sustainable fuel from plastic: A review

Ahmad Galadima et al.

Summary: Recent statistical evidence indicates a growing global energy demand and plastic material production/consumption. Converting plastic materials into gasoline and diesel fuels is crucial for energy and environmental sustainability. Low-temperature catalytic reactions show promise in terms of energy efficiency, catalyst sustainability, economic parameters, and optimal fuel properties. Various catalysts based on natural and synthetic zeolites, Ir-based complexes, Pd, Pt, Ru, oxides, chlorides, etc. are being strategically developed and modified for this purpose. The paper discusses progress made in this area and outlines future research directions.
