However, PB from lightweight packaging (LWP) waste is currently not comprehensively reintegrated into the paper value stream. To develop an adapted recycling process for PB from LWP, PB quantities, qualities, and fluctuations ranges in LWP are required. Currently, no sufficient database is available. Therefore, we developed a methodical approach and conducted a case study to access the PB potential in LWP sorting plants using manual analysis and sensor-based material flow monitoring. Differences resulting from seasonal variations, materials from different settlement structures, and fluctuation ranges in LWP composition over two weeks have been investigated. PB contents in the input of 6.5 wt% (ww) and 5.9 wt% (ww) were determined for winter and summer sampling campaigns, respectively. The PB product stream amounted to 5.7 wt% (ww, winter) and 4.8 wt% (ww, summer). Around 45 wt% (ww) of PB from the PB product stream was classified as misplaced by the consumer and should have been discarded in separate paper collections. Based on the determined PB quantities and qualities, a potential of usable and in the PB product stream available PB in LWP was determined. The technically available and usable PB potential in German LWP waste amounts to 89,000 to 100,000tons per year (average PB yield of around 65 wt% (ww)). The methodical approach can be adapted for sorting plant balances.

Triple rinsing is a widely used management technique to decontaminate WPPC and determine their downstream management. However, its efficiency needs to be evaluated for new types of pesticides. The goal of the work was to measure the residual contents of 15 new pesticide AS, widely used all over the world, before and after triple rinsing using 56 WPPC. In addition, the contents of pesticide AS sorbed onto the plastic containers are analyzed for the first time. Results show that all unrinsed WPPC had residual AS contents above the hazard limits except for four AS. Triple rinsing removed from 68.3% (minimum) to 99.9% (maximum) of the liquid contents of 15 active substances. However, due to high variances of the AS contents after triple rinsing, mean values before and after rinsing were statistically equal for 8 out of 14 AS. The sorbed AS contents ranged from 3% to 97% of the total AS content. Only Azoxystrobin’s total content (i.e. the sum of liquid and sorbed phases) slightly exceeded the hazard limit of 0.1% w/w. Conclusively, triple rinsing may not always lead to AS content reductions below hazard limits. The sorbed contents should be considered to check legal compliances.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23969,"journal":{"name":"Waste management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the escalating demand for PC, a corresponding surge in carbon emissions is inevitable. Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) present a greener alternative to PC, given their production primarily utilizes industrial wastes. Traditional precursors for AAMs, such as fly ash and slag, however, are not universally available—Canada, for instance, faces a scarcity of fly ash for AAM production. In response to the dual challenges of managing mine tailings and reducing PC’s environmental footprint, this review proposes the innovative use of mine tailings as an alternative binder to PC. This paper offers a thorough examination of mine tailings’ properties, methodologies to enhance their suitability for AAM synthesis, and an analysis of AAMs produced from diverse tailing sources.

In this study, a novel acid-free technology to achieve the full recovery of crystalline silicon photovoltaic waste was proposed. A pyrolysis process was first conducted for decapsulation, with carbon dioxide being the main gas component at 60.64 %. Next, bioleaching technology was employed to leach silver from waste crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. The silver leaching rate in a single leaching cycle reached 44.7 %. Meanwhile, the mechanism of silver leaching was further analyzed. Finally, high-velocity fluid frictional separation, a technique that uses high-speed fluid flow to separate material, was chosen to obtain silicon wafers. The reclaimed silicon samples had a total thickness variation of 6.64 µm to11.62 µm, with average carrier lifetimes exceeding 4.9 µs, higher than that obtained by wet etching.

At a suitable pH of 10, with >80 % of the total ammonia present as NH<sub>3</sub>, the RO BW membrane showed a large N/K selectivity of 35 in the crossflow system. Additional RO steps at low pH allows subsequent concentration of the formed NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup> fractions.
