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

C – Journal of Carbon Research, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(1), С. 8 - 8

Опубликована: Янв. 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.

Valorization of Medical Waste in Cement-Based Construction Materials: A Systematic Review

Buildings, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(10), С. 1643 - 1643

Опубликована: Май 13, 2025

Worldwide, the healthcare industry produces massive quantities of medical waste (MW), most which is incinerated, releasing large dioxins, mercury, and other pollutants. Despite this, only a limited number studies have explored incorporation MW into construction materials, with special focus on cement-based materials (CB-CMs). However, to best authors’ knowledge, no existing review formally structures, summarizes, correlates, discusses findings previous in CB-CMs encourage further research applications this promising alternative. Therefore, added value study lies providing an innovative critical analysis use CB-CMs, consolidating evaluating dispersed through systematic literature review, enhancing understanding topic, identifying knowledge gaps guide future research. A robust was conducted, encompassing 40 peer-reviewed articles, retrieved from Web Science Core Collection database. The methodology involved three-stage process: descriptive included identification synthesis key thematic areas, evaluation data ensure rigorous report. selection criteria prioritized articles English full text availability published last 7 years, explicitly excluding conference papers, book chapters, short reports, not meeting language or accessibility requirements. results indicate that influence CB-CM varies significantly. For example, while face masks as fiber reinforcement concrete generally enhances its mechanical durability properties, gloves less effective always recommended. Finally, it found needed field due novelty.
