PPE Waste-Derived Carbon Materials for Energy Storage Applications via Carbonization Techniques

C – Journal of Carbon Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 8 - 8

Published: Jan. 16, 2025

Starting from the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, billions of personal protective equipment (PPE), mainly face masks (FMs), are reported to be worn and thrown away every month worldwide. Most waste winds up landfills undergoes an incineration process after being released into environment. This could pose a significant risk long-term effects both human health ecology due tremendous amount non-biodegradable substances PPE waste. Consequently, alternative approaches for recycling imperatively needed lessen harmful The current methods facilitate conventional treatment waste, most it results materials with decreased values their characteristics. Thus, is crucial create efficient environmentally friendly FMs other products added value, such as high-quality carbon materials. paper reviews focuses on techniques that economically viable beneficial environment through carbonization technology, which transforms highly valuable materials, well exploring possible utilization these energy storage applications. In conclusion, this provides copious knowledge information regarding waste-derived carbon-based would benefit potential green research.

Modification of discarded polypropylene mask and its utilization as crude oil flow improver

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 141(27)

Published: April 24, 2024

Abstract A method was investigated for the treatment and utilization of large quantities polypropylene (PP)‐based wastes, such as discarded masks, generated by COVID‐19 pandemic. novel crude oil flow improver (named MPP) synthesized modifying waste PP masks with maleic anhydride. The structure properties MPP were characterized using Fourier transform infrared differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). optimal reaction ratio determined to be n : anhydride = 1:2 BPO 0.2%. When concentration is 500 ppm, viscosity YL samples reduced 92.48%, pour point 4.2°C. In addition, MPP2 can significantly reduce CQ sample 87.62%. mechanism DSC polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis before after addition MPP2. Finally, total cost this new estimated its market feasibility analyzed. study not only realizes resource but also achieves cycle returning from oil, which contributes implementation circular economy positive significance in promoting petrochemical industry.

Electromagnetic interference shielding composites obtained from waste face masks, MXene and polyethylene terephthalate micro plastics

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12, P. 100365 - 100365

Published: Sept. 4, 2023

Since the COVID-19 in 2019, people have made a lot of progress recycling waste face masks (FMs) pollution. Besides, conducting polymer composites (CPCs) possessing excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) are effective method to prevent harm caused by Finally, measures needed reduce micro plastics (MPs) pollution water environment. However, current research on removal MPs, after being removed from water, MPs still exist as and cannot be further recycled. Therefore, problem has not been fundamentally solved. Herein, FMs, polyethylene terephthalate (PET MPs) MXene were used fabricate EMI with isolated conductive networks structure via adhesion polydopamine (PDA). The effects networks, different sizes PET layers FMs adsorption properties FMs-PDA-MXene, well electrical performance for obtained PP-PDA-MXene studied. displayed SE 30.5 dB X-band 1.5 vol.% content due structure. This study points out direction thoroughly solving Microplastics water.
