In this study, laboratory-scale gasification experiments were conducted on sewage sludge samples. The effects of CaO as a carrier of oxygen or carbon (C) and as a gasification accelerator were evaluated. Lab-scale tests using a tube-type electric furnace showed that gasification of CaO-mixed dry sludge with steam resulted in substantial absorption of CO₂ by CaO at 600 ℃ and 700 ℃ and the concentration of H₂ in the gas reached 70 vol.%. The gasification was significantly accelerated in CaO-mixed steam gasification compared with pyrolysis gasification and steam gasification of dry sludge in the absence of the CaO mixture. The hydrogen gas (H₂) recovery rate also increased, and tar with a high C weight ratio and high calorific value was recovered. Almost the entire C in the sewage sludge was gasified at 800 ℃. Therefore, this method (pyrolysis with steam and CaO) was shown to be effective as one of the hydrogen production methods from sewage sludge.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":643,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"558 - 571"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10163-024-02140-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142939359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples were subjected to uniaxial dry pressing, sintered, and prepared in an electric furnace at temperatures of 950–1050 °C. Mineralogical composition, chemical composition, and particle size distribution of natural zeolite and sugarcane bagasse ash were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and granulation test, respectively. Also, the effect of different compositions and different sintering temperatures on the samples’ physical and thermal properties were studied. The results showed that the thermal conductivity of the samples ranges from 0.89 to 1.46 W/mk. Samples that were sintered at 950 °C and had a higher sugarcane bagasse ash percentage showed a lower thermal conductivity. Also, the samples exhibited compressive strength, ranging from 2 to 30.4 MPa.

In this study, we investigated the local embodied energy and carbon emission with a boundary of cradle-to-gate for cements and that of cradle-to-site for ready-mix concretes in Indonesia. The production process data were collected from cement manufacturers and ready-mix concrete companies. The analysis starts with the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and non-OPC cement, and continues to the lightweight OPC concrete and the normal-weight blended concrete. The embodied energy and carbon were quantified. The results showed that those of OPC were the highest, followed by the non-OPC cement of Portland pozzolan cement (PPC), the Portland cement composite (PCC), and the masonry cement. The available low-energy and carbon concrete mixes were found to be a combination of a high-range water reducer admixture, a supplementary cementitious material (SCM), and cement. The lightweight OPC concrete had similar embodied energy with the reference OPC concrete, but its embodied carbon was up to 11.1% lower than the reference OPC. The normal-weight blended PCC concrete with optimum SCM levels reduced embodied energy and carbon by 53.8% and 58.2%, respectively, compared to the reference OPC concrete. The reference PPC concrete is considered an alternative for assessing the embodied energy and carbon of blended concrete in the building design stage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":643,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"488 - 502"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10163-024-02135-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents an optimization approach for realistically modeling and solving the LPMSWMS problems. This new approach takes into account a non-linear mathematical formulation for the LPMSWMS and solves the model into two main stages. In the first stage, the linear relaxation of the model is used, while the non-linear model formulation is used in the second stage to obtain a more realistic solution for the LPMSWMS. According to the findings, the new optimization approach obtained results for small model volumes in longer times than the reference non-linear model structure. On the other hand, the new approach makes it possible to obtain global optima by producing exact solutions at large model volumes, while the reference non-linear model structure cannot produce any solution. This advantage of the new approach for large model volumes can significantly benefit decision-makers in solving big-scale problems that are likely to be encountered in the real world by giving global optima.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":643,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"511 - 529"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Specifically, the investigation delves into pro-environmental (environmental protection and animal welfare) and pro-social motives (political, religious, and moral motives), elucidating normative goals, alongside pro-self motives, which encompass gain (health) and hedonic goals. Data were collected from 600 consumers residing in six major cities across Vietnam through a self-administered questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was utilized to assess the proposed hypotheses. The findings underscore the significant contribution of AFW to reducing HFW and highlight its substantial influence from these motives with varying valence.

At present, the main approach to processing these automobiles involves recycling, which, after dismantling and crushing, creates residual materials known as automotive shredder residue (ASR). ASR is mainly recycled through incineration or landfill disposal, which can cause environmental pollution and waste of resources. Pyrolysis, an emerging ASR treatment method, is widely considered an ideal alternative. While traditional electric pyrolysis has the advantages of high energy consumption and low heating rate, microwave pyrolysis offers higher heating coefficient, lower energy consumption, and greater environmental protection. Therefore, based on the microwave pyrolysis technology, this work investigates the thermal analysis kinetics and pyrolysis of whole components of ASR. The results revealed that the average activation energy of ASR reached 93.476 kJ/mol, as calculated using the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) method, and the reaction model was close to the diffusion-control model. Furthermore, the residence time and heating temperature have a great influence on the product composition and yield and affect the occurrence of secondary reactions, and the microwave power influences the rate of ASR cracking and the rate of energy transfer of the products, in which the microwave power has the greatest influence on the gaseous products. The H₂ content increased from 1.097 to 2.565 wt.%, while the methane content increased from 0.781 to 2.687 wt.%. Moreover, the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons in the liquid product increased with the increase of residence time, and the aromatic hydrocarbon product content increased from 31.67 to 44.39 wt.%. Finally, the increase in heating temperature decreased the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons in liquid products, while the increase of microwave power initially decreased and then increased the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons in liquid products.

This work aims to study the incorporation of leather waste from the footwear industry in the production of particleboards. Based on the obtained results, the boards with up to 20 wt% leather showed a decrease of around 15 and 30% in the MOR and MOE, respectively. On the other hand, the water swelling tests show that leather presented better dimensional stability than wood, and its incorporation reduces the thickness swelling of the panels. The water resistance of the wood/leather boards is given mainly by the average pore diameter, where the pores of the leather were 500% larger than those of the wood. Finally, according to the thermal properties leather showed better thermal stability than wood, since the mass loss at 400 °C was 55% for leather and 80% for wood. However, the incorporation of leather up to 20% did not enhance the fireproof properties of the panels.
