Cover Story: Almost all of the 5.4 million tons of used face masks in 2021 were consigned to landfills or discarded. Batch low-pressure hydrothermal processing (LP-HTP) methods have been developed to convert disposable face masks to oils (82 wt.%) and gases (17 wt.%), with minimal char (~1 wt.%). LP-HTP has higher oil yields than pyrolysis does and lower operating pressures than supercritical water liquefaction does. It also has 3.4 times higher energy returns and produces 95% fewer GHG emissions than incineration does. LP-HTP can divert 5.4 million tons of masks from landfills and produce approximately 4.4 million tons of oils annually. View this paper
