However, the low leaching efficiency of Ni and Co, high sulfuric acid consumption, and the emission of sulfur trioxide (SO₃) gas remain challenges. In this study, an integrated process for the co-roasting of limonitic and saprolitic laterite ore using the sulfation-roasting-leaching process was developed. The results demonstrated that SO₃ could successively react with goethite in limonitic laterite ore and lizardite in saprolitic laterite ore to convert the Ni and Co to water-soluble phases by controlling the co-roasting conditions and employing an appropriate method based on the different ionic potentials of trivalent and divalent metal ions. The leaching efficiencies of Ni and Co in laterite ore were 96.2% and 99.9%, respectively, with over 70% SO₃ recovery and approximately 60 wt % sulfuric acid consumption. This work presents a promising approach for the coextraction of Ni and Co from both limonitic and saprolitic laterite ores, and it holds immense potential for sustainable and economically viable Ni and Co extraction from a wide range of laterite ore deposits, contributing to the circular economy and fostering a greener future for battery metal production.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"201–211 201–211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143085743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigates the mechanical and thermal properties of hydrolyzed collagen (HC) powder-reinforced biopolymer composite blown films. The biodegradable polymer PLA was reinforced with HC at different weight percentages (0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, and 1.25%) using the solution blending method in chloroform, followed by blown-film extrusion. Among different weight percentages of HC in the PLA matrix, 1 wt % HC reinforced with PLA blown films exhibited significant changes and improvements in the FTIR, XRD, TGA, and DSC analyses. A polymer blend formation from PLA and 1% HC was observed in XRD, FTIR, and Raman analyses, exhibiting chemical bonding of the amide group to the PLA backbone. It was understood that intermolecular interaction of the PLA and HC molecules was due to the inter-H bonds of the −NH, −OH, and −CH functional groups. The thermal behavior and crystallinity of the PLA/HC composite films were investigated using TGA and DSC. Compared with other film samples, PLA/1% HC exhibited a higher thermal stability of 360.29 °C. The tensile studies show significant enhancement in the flexibility with a high elongation strength of PLA/HC composite films compared to neat PLA films. The fracture analysis of PLA/1% HC confirms the interfacial compatibility and transformation to plastic deformation due to the chemical bonding of HC in the PLA matrix.

This innovative technique enables the production of nitrogen-rich porous carbon adsorbents at low activation temperatures, ranging from 400 to 500°C, compared to traditional processes that require activation temperatures exceeding 600°C when using KOH. By fine-tuning the activation temperature and modifying the proportion of reactants, namely, NaNH₂, to nonmetallic fractions, it is possible to customize both the pore architecture and the nitrogen levels in the adsorbent, thereby improving its CO₂ adsorption efficiency. The adsorbent, denoted as EN-450-2 (epoxy nitrogen-doped adsorbent activated at 450°C with a weight ratio of 2:1 NaNH₂:electronic waste nonmetal fraction), exhibits a remarkable surface area of 2270 m²/g. It demonstrates a CO₂ adsorption capacity of 5.17 mmol/g at 0°C and 1 bar and 3.14 mmol/g at 25°C and 1 bar. Comprehensive analysis indicates that a combination of factors such as pore structure (i.e., narrow micropore, surface area, and total pore volume) influences the CO₂ adsorption performance. At 1 bar pressure and 25°C, EN-450-2 exhibits exceptional CO₂/N₂ selectivity, moderate isosteric heat of adsorption, rapid adsorption kinetics, substantial dynamic CO₂ capture capacity, and enduring regeneration over five cycles.

This study introduces a series of plant-derived polyphenol-based NADESs as a green and cost-effective medium for lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling. NADESs were used to sequentially dissolve metal oxides from end-of-life LIB cathodes, such as lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC). The polyphenols in NADESs demonstrated excellent metal-binding capacity and reducing properties, enabling high extraction efficiencies of ≥90% for valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. This process is energy-efficient and eco-friendly, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional hydrometallurgical techniques. To complete the recycling process, a selective precipitation method was employed, recovering metals in the form of useful chemical compounds. This approach highlights the potential of NADESs in addressing the challenges of LIB recycling while reducing environmental impact.

The carbon was prepared via hydrothermal carbonization with H₃PO₄ followed by pyrolysis. The effect of sulfur doping on its physicochemical and electrochemical properties was evaluated. The samples were named BCM (biomass carbon material) for non-doped and S-BCM (sulfur–biomass carbon material) for the doped samples. We further show that sulfur doping (with around 7% sulfur content) radically increases these nanoparticles’ performance, leading to higher capacitance and stability. The sulfur doping increased the specific surface area to 2124 m² g^–1 compared to non-doped (1972 m² g^–1), as reflected in the enhancement of the number of micropores. In addition, according to Raman spectroscopy analysis, the sulfur doping increased the structural defects based on the <i>I</i>_D/<i>I</i>_G values (S-BCM = 2.23 and BCM = 1.98). Furthermore, the sulfur doping increased the hydrophilicity of the carbon particles, allowing us to disperse them in water and use layer-by-layer self-assembly to fabricate supercapacitor electrodes with nanometer-layer precision. The assembled S-BCM electrodes exhibited a higher capacitance than those of pristine carbon with the highest values measured at 79.1 F/g at 1 A/g.

To address this, an alkaline wastewater from the pulp and paper industry was used as an alternative to fresh water, reducing the need for additional water consumption.
