Valorization of disposable COVID-19 mask through the thermo-chemical process

Sungyup Jung et al.

Summary: Wearing disposable face masks to protect against COVID-19 has become common during the pandemic, but the massive generation of contaminated masks is causing environmental concerns due to the release of toxic chemicals during disposal processes. A CO2-assisted thermo-chemical process is suggested as an environmentally friendly disposal method, simultaneously producing valuable fuels from the masks. The study focused on determining the major chemical constituents of disposable masks and employing pyrolysis to produce syngas and C1-2 hydrocarbons, showcasing a potential for environmentally benign removal of COVID-19 plastic waste.

Environmental impact analysis of municipal solid waste incineration in African countries

Dan Cudjoe et al.

Summary: Incineration of solid waste is a popular waste treatment method worldwide, but improper handling can lead to harmful emissions. This study examines the environmental consequences of incineration in 56 African countries, finding that the global warming potential is expected to increase for most countries by 2025, except for Seychelles and Saint Helena. High dioxin emission potential was observed in South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, and Nigeria in both 2012 and 2025.

Disposal Behavior of Used Masks during the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Moroccan Community: Potential Environmental Impact

Nezha Mejjad et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in mask production capacity in Morocco, but also contributed to more plastic waste harming the environment. While most respondents disposed of their used masks properly, 30% admitted to not wearing masks. The survey revealed that over five million discarded masks are generated daily in just two regions.

COVID-19 mask waste to energy via thermochemical pathway: Effect of Co-Feeding food waste

Chanyeong Park et al.

Summary: The study focused on the co-pyrolysis of single-use face masks and food waste for energy and resource valorization. Pyrolysis of the face masks produced fuel-range chemicals and primarily non-condensable hydrocarbons. Adding food waste led to char formation without affecting the properties of the char, increasing H2 production and decreasing hydrocarbon yields during co-feeding pyrolysis.
