The purpose of this study is to improve the slagging characteristics of asphalt rock by adding the mineral additives CaCO<sub>3</sub>, MgO, and Kaolin. The results showed that the K, Al, Ca salts in asphalt rock ash will evolve at different temperatures and exist mainly as K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, KAlSiO<sub>4</sub>, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>·SiO<sub>2</sub>, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, CaSO<sub>4</sub>, and CaSiO<sub>3</sub>. The CaSO<sub>4</sub> formed from sulfur oxides and calcium-containing compounds is the main factor in asphalt rock slagging and can be facilitated by CaSiO<sub>3</sub> with a small amount of CaCO<sub>3</sub>. The MgO can form MgCa(SiO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> with a high melting point and helps raise the ash fusion temperatures. In addition, the Kaolin will promote the formation of low-temperature eutectics, resulting in a slight decrease in ash fusion temperatures. Through optimization, it was found that with the addition of 9.0% MgO+9.0% Kaolin+2.0% CaCO<sub>3</sub> (in weight), the slagging ratio and pressure difference of asphalt rock under fluidized bed conditions decreased from 6.5% to 4.2% and from 6.0 Pa to 4.0 Pa, respectively. By combining simulation and experimental methods, it has been shown that appropriate mineral additives of CaCO<sub>3</sub>, MgO, and Kaolin can effectively improve the slagging characteristics of asphalt rock.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":807,"journal":{"name":"Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy","volume":"6 3","pages":"385 - 400"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140970517","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}

This nanocomposite exhibits exceptional capabilities for removing specific dyes, such as Methylene Blue (MB) and Congo Red (CR), from aqueous media. Extensive characterization using techniques confirmed the successful formation of the B-Mg/Al-NC, which possesses a high surface area, high porosity, and abundant functional groups. The Langmuir monolayer biosorption capacity was 395.56 mg g<sup>−1</sup> and 328.25 mg g<sup>−1</sup> at 50 °C for MB and CR, respectively, with rapid dye removal achieved within 25 min under alkaline pH conditions. The experimental data fit well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model for both dyes. The remarkable dye adsorption capacity of the B-Mg/Al-NC can be attributed to the combined basic properties of the bone biochar and Mg/Al-LDH. Proposed mechanisms for enhanced dye removal include hydrogen bonding interactions, anion exchange, surface complexation, electrostatic interactions, and pore filling. Furthermore, the nanocomposite exhibited excellent reusability. In addition to its dye removal capabilities, the B-Mg/Al-NC was found to have a positive effect on seed germination and growth and salient soil health parameters, as demonstrated by a rapid seed germination test using the spent composite. Overall, the facile synthesis of the B-Mg/Al-NC via co-precipitation and ultrasonication is a highly recommended and sustainable approach for producing an eco-friendly bio-sorbent with exceptional dye removal efficiency from wastewater while also addressing the issue of bone waste disposal.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":807,"journal":{"name":"Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy","volume":"6 3","pages":"355 - 369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140881499","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}

To overcome these limitations, this study aims to predict the HHV value of RDF from predicted elemental data by using regression models. Therefore, once the predicted elemental data are generated, there will be no need to have continuous elemental data to predict HHV. Predicted elemental data were generated from direct elemental data and Near Infrared (NIR) camera-based spectrometric data by using a deep learning model.

One such application is the treatment of spent wash, a highly polluting effluent generated from the distillery industry after crude mesh is separated into ethanol and spent wash. Spent wash, also known as distillery effluent or stillage, is a highly challenging wastewater treatment method due to its high chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and total dissolved solids (TDS). These characteristics make it a complex and polluting industrial effluent that requires specialized treatment processes to reduce its environmental impact effectively. However, MFCs have shown promise in treating spent wash, as they can utilize the organic matter in wastewater as a fuel source for microbial growth as well as for electricity generation. For the treatment of spent wash, <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> sp. was used as a biocatalyst along with 340 mol/L potassium ferricyanide in the cathode chamber and 170 mol/L methylene blue in the anode as a mediator. All tests were conducted by balancing a one-liter volume for power production from spent wash in MFC with the optimal conditions of 10% agarose, pH 8.5, 300 mL/min of aeration in the cathode chamber, and 40% (in weight) substrate concentration.

For each litre of processed spent wash, a maximum voltage of 850 mV (4.5 mA) was obtained. Amazingly, 91% of COD and BOD were removed from the effluent MFC.

The resulting pyrolysis vapor was then introduced into a second reactor, where catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) took place in the presence of a cobalt catalyst, leading to the production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). It was found that CNTs with an inner diameter of ~ 3.2 nm and an outer diameter of 20–40 nm can be formed in the second stage reactor at temperatures between 650 °C and 950 °C with a maximum yield of 30% (in weight) under the employed experimental conditions. The obtained CNTs displayed a multiwall structure, exhibited a lack of crystallinity, and demonstrated a high level of disorder. The research findings also indicate that temperature exerts a significant influence on both the yield and properties of the CNTs synthesized.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":807,"journal":{"name":"Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy","volume":"6 3","pages":"323 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140298299","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}
