Industrial residues are sources of functional biopolymers with interesting properties for textile applications. This study aims to evaluate the impact of enzymatic pre-treatment on oil yield and phenolic compounds’ content in an aqueous extract...

The proliferation of electronic goods manufacturing and the subsequent rise in electronic waste (e-waste) generation necessitate the establishment of efficient Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) reverse logistics systems, fostering c...

The pyrolysis carbon black (CBp) from waste tires contains zinc, iron, and other metal elements, which have high recycling value. This study proposes a simple method of recovering zinc and iron from waste tire-derived CBp to synthesize hydrotalcite-t...

This study investigates graphite separation from Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) black mass (which is a mixture of anode and cathode materials) via froth flotation coupled with an open-loop recycling approach for the graphite (froth) product. Black mass sa...

Concerns have been raised regarding the mechanical recycling rates of automotive parts, which appear to be low in comparison to those of other sectors. Addressing this issue demands the promotion of the mechanical recycling of waste automobile bumper...

Aggregates such as sand and gravel are the most mined resources on Earth and are the largest component in concrete. They are essential for construction but are becoming increasingly scarce. At the same time, large amounts of biomass ashes are produce...

Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest-growing waste stream on the planet, yet it remains critically under-addressed in global waste management and recycling efforts. The rapid pace of technological advancement has led to increased consumption of...

This study proposes that a proactive quality assurance (QA) framework for asphalt mixes with recycled materials, i.e., reclaimed asphalt pavement and recycled asphalt shingles, should be developed. Quality control (QC) is generally concerned with the...

Currently, residual frying oil has three purposes: it is used again in the preparation of fried foods, mixed with new vegetable oil, which can cause cardiovascular disease in the consumer; it is collected by government institutions, without having an...

In this work an evaluation of Macro Stickies was performed on thirteen different cellulose-based materials through image analysis. In particular, the materials that were evaluated consisted of different types/categories of papers/products produced by...
