Opportunities and Challenges in the Application of Bioplastics: Perspectives from Formulation, Processing, and Performance

Polymers, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(18), С. 2561 - 2561

Опубликована: Сен. 10, 2024

Tremendously negative effects have been generated in recent decades by the continuously increasing production of conventional plastics and inadequate management their waste products. This demands materials within a circular economy, easy to recycle biodegrade, minimizing environmental impact cost competitiveness. Bioplastics represent sustainable alternative this scenario. However, replacement must be addressed considering several aspects along lifecycle, from bioplastic processing final application product. In review, using different additives, biomass sources, techniques on mechanical thermal behavior, as well biodegradability, bioplastics is discussed. The importance bioplasticizers highlighted, besides studying role surfactants, compatibilizers, cross-linkers, coupling agents, chain extenders. Cellulose, lignin, starch, chitosan, composites are analyzed part non-synthetic considered. Throughout study, emphasis use well-established manufacturing processes, such extrusion, injection, compression, or blow molding, since these ones that satisfy quality, productivity, requirements for large-scale industrial production. Particular attention also given fused deposition modeling, additive technique nowadays not only used making prototypes, but it being integrated into development parts wide variety biomedical applications. Finally, recyclability commercial discussed, some future perspectives challenges bio-based with conclusion technological innovations, economic incentives, policy changes could coupled individually driven solutions mitigate impacts associated plastics.

Recent Advances in Electrochemical Organic Waste Reforming: Highlights on Anodic Chemistry, Materials Design, and System Integration

ACS Applied Engineering Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 8, 2025

As renewable electricity─particularly from solar energy─becomes more cost-effective, electrochemical organic waste reforming emerges as a promising solution for green hydrogen production. This approach also offers additional advantages in low-carbon management and the coproduction of value-added chemicals. However, its broader application has been limited, mainly due to gaps understanding complex properties real mixed waste, reaction mechanisms, catalyst design, system integration. review provides fresh perspective on value technology both degradation valorization. Initially, suitability various streams processes based critical feedstock was examined. Subsequently, potential alternative anodic reactions pollutant valorization determine optimal process pathways were screened. Finally, advanced catalysts, modules, designs enhance techno-economic feasibility explored. Overall, this underscores significant sustainable production management, offering insights into feasible commercializing by addressing challenges related feedstocks, systems.

Production of Plastic-Derived Fuel by Cohydrocracking of Different Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) with Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO)

Energy & Fuels, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 6, 2025

To promote the chemical recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), its valorization by hydrocracking was investigated. ease implementation at large-scale this route, PET coprocessed with vacuum gasoil (VGO), which is a benchmark feed industrial unit (10 and 90 wt %, respectively) hydrocracked using PtPd/HY catalyst. Furthermore, suitability PETs different natures origins to produce fuel-assimilable streams assessed. Specifically, one virgin, commercial, mechanically recycled were used, analyzing differences in conversion, yields product fractions (dry gas, liquefied petroleum gases, naphtha, light cycle oil), composition naphtha oil fractions, given their possible interest being used formulation automotive fuels. The reaction runs performed batch reactor under following conditions: 80 bar, 420 °C, 120 min, catalyst/feed mass ratio 10 gcatalyst gfeed–1. modified degraded plastics more easily converted into liquid hydrocarbons within LCO contents isoparaffins between 45 50 %. From products, pathways PET-derived molecules evaluated.

Nano Cobalt-Loaded Porous Carbon Derived from Waste Plastic for Efficient Persulfate Activation and Tetracycline Degradation

Nanomaterials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(5), С. 371 - 371

Опубликована: Фев. 27, 2025

The excessive utilization and emission of waste plastics have caused serious damage to the environment, it is great significance explore high-value methods for these plastics. To address this challenge, functional nano cobalt-loaded porous carbon materials (CoPC) with excellent antibiotic wastewater removal properties were prepared by one-step pyrolysis using PET as a source, process described in paper. Characterization revealed that obtained CoPC-2 catalysts had high degree defects, large specific surface area (343.41 m2/g), an abundant pore structure. Degradation results displayed removed 87.93% 20 mg/L tetracycline reaction rate constant 0.0668 min-1. Moreover, exhibited degradation performance over wide range pH levels (4-10) coexistence multiple inorganic anions. Electron paramagnetic resonance radical quenching experiments radicals (·OH, SO4·-) non-radicals (1O2) pathway participated degradation, non-radical being dominant. This study not only offers promising prospects resource plastics, but also provides novel approaches design nanomaterials treatment.
