Tetrabromobisphenol A diallyl ether (TBBPA-DAE), is a widely emerging NBFR with a high rate of production. The deleterious impacts, neurobehavioral consequences and toxic effects of NBFRs have been well-documented. Co-pyrolysis of BFRs with metal oxides has emerged as a potential de-bromination technique in e-waste recycling that curtails the bromine release into the environment. Herein, a multitude of characterization studies are done to probe into the debromination efficiency of lead oxide (PbO) during its co-pyrolysis with TBBPA-DAE via products (char, gas and condensates) analyses. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested a pyrolytic run up to 600 °C. The GCMS analysis showed that the release of brominated compounds was completely restricted in the condensate at 600 °C by increasing the phenol production. This was due to the capture of HBr by the PbO to form PbBr<sub>2</sub>, which was validated by the spectral, XRD and SEM-EDX analyses. The IC analysis also endorsed a better efficiency of PbO in HBr capture (80.04 %) in comparison to the HCl capture (45.57 %) proving that PbO is a good debromination agent envisaging further probes to other emerging NBFRs. The study also investigates the de-chlorination of PVC to establish the universal de-halogenation capacity of PbO toward mixed halogenated plastic wastes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34388,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100785"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666016424001798/pdfft?md5=cad3b71a228a333881db5294d34feeb3&pid=1-s2.0-S2666016424001798-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141263891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim was to convert pristine avocado seed waste into carbon and then activate it with hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate and nitric acid to facilitate the adsorption of manganese and chromium ions from aqueous media. The variation of the parameters such as pH of the solution, reaction time, initial concentration and temperature were investigated. The results show that the adsorbent modified with hydrogen peroxide has a large surface area compared to the other adsorbents. The maximum adsorption capacity for manganese and chromium ions was achieved at a pH value of 2. The results show that the removal efficiency of manganese and chromium ions increases with increasing contact time in the initial phase of the process and the adsorption rate is also fast before reaching equilibrium. The maximum adsorption capacities of manganese and chromium ions were found to be 49.95 and 48.96 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data also showed that the Freundlich model describes the adsorption isotherm with multilayer coverage well. The highest sorption capacity was observed for the carbon activated with hydrogen peroxide and was expected due to the large surface area. The proposed adsorbent thus represents a cost-effective material that can be considered as a viable alternative for the effective adsorption of manganese and chromium ions from water samples. The experimental conditions and the method used also make the avocado seed waste a suitable material for environmental monitoring.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34388,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100782"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666016424001762/pdfft?md5=0df043643f394e3ba9a75a401d1fefe5&pid=1-s2.0-S2666016424001762-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141229339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
