Co-Pyrolysis of Plastic Wastes: Effects of Temperature and Feedstock Ratio on Chemical Composition of Liquid Product
(Corresponding) Özçakır G., Karaduman A.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Co-Pyrolysis of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Polystyrene (PS) was carried out in a semi-batch glass reactor system. Effects of temperature and feedstock ratio on pyrolytic product yields (gaseous, liquid and solid residue) and chemical composition of the liquid were investigated. All...Read more

Preparation of carbon nanotubes from plastic solid wastes over magnetic nickel ferrite catalysts
Lopes J., Roman F., Santos Silva A., (Corresponding) Diaz de Tuesta J., Lenzi G., (Corresponding) Silva A., (Corresponding) Faria J., Gomes H.
Topic:
Solid waste management
This work presents the development of magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) from plastic solid waste (PSW). For this purpose, diverse catalytic nanoparticles based on Fe, Ni and Al were prepared by impregnation of alumina or co-precipitation of Ni, Fe and Al nitrate salts with NH4OH, followed by...Read more

A comparative assessment of alkali-activated stabilisers including waste materials, for the treatment of swelling-shrinking soils
(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gray C., Gunn M.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Swelling-shrinking soils (also known as expansive soils) experience very considerable volume changes upon changes in moisture content, thus causing major damages to lightweight structures, pavements, slopes and utilities. To counteract this problem chemical stabilisation of this type of soil with...Read more
