Valorization of waste graphite deriving from "End Of Life Lithium-Ion Battery recycling" for a second use in wastewater treatment.

(Corresponding) Premathilake D., (Corresponding) Vaccari M., Botelho Junior A., Tenório J., Espinosa D., Colombi F.
Topic: 
Recycling of materials to new products
Exponential utilization of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has produced a notable amount of hazardous waste recently. The current practices focus on recovering precious metals available in cathode giving less priority for anode material (graphite) recoveries and valorizations. However, thinning of...Read more

A truly circular process for recycling all main raw materials of waste of LCDs screens of smartphones

Martelo L., Silva M., Bacelo H., Bastos M., (Corresponding) Soares H.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen is composed by two transparent glasses coated with indium-tin oxide (ITO) on it and crystal liquids (LCs) sandwiched between them. The current implemented recycling process usually adopts mechanical crushing or pyrolysis as the primary LCDs screens treatment...Read more

Assessment of water reuse potential for the cultivation of the red microalga Galdieria sulphuraria

Carone M., Costamagna L., Zanetti M., (Corresponding) Riggio V.
Topic: 
Sustainable production and management of biomass
The red microalga Galdieria sulphuraria has emerged as a promising biotechnological platform for large-scale cultivation and production of high-value compounds, such as the blue pigment phycocyanin. However, its extremophilic nature requires cultivation in an appropriately acidified culture medium...Read more

Use of recycled construction and demolition waste as substrate in hybrid constructed wetlands for the treatment of Olive Mill Wastewater.

Kotsia D., Anastasiadi Z., (Corresponding) Fountoulakis M.
Topic: 
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid constructed wetlands (CWs) for treating olive mill wastewater (OMW) using recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste as substrate material. The experiment was conducted at the outdoor research facility of the...Read more

Towards sustainable plastics recycling: assessing the integrity status of polypropylene (PP) debris to recycle marine-degraded materials

(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Kyriakakis E., Efthimiadou E., Papanikos P., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.
Topic: 
Recycling of materials to new products
Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used polymer with significant environmental implications when improperly disposed. Effective recycling strategies for PP are crucial for mitigating plastic pollution and achieving sustainability goals. This investigation focuses on classifying PP debris based on their...Read more
