Abstract

Tea wastes contain a group of important organic substances disposed of in a considerable amount to the environment without any treatment after the preparation of tea. Generally, uncontrolled release of these wastes has increased environmental concern mainly to the aquatic environment in recent years. In this study, an experiment of tea waste green composites was outlined to provide more knowledge and findings in utilising the tea waste as reinforcement. The current experimental investigation focuses mainly on the mechanical and characterisation of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) filled with household tea wastes (TW) green composites. The morphology properties of PLA with tea waste composites were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The results show that the addition of tea waste improved the mechanical properties of the composite nevertheless the crystalline structure was reduced due to the presence of tea waste particles. The study findings highly recommended that tea wastes should be environmentally managed and recycled for better utilisation as an energy source or in other valuable application to reduce the impact on environmental pollution.

家庭茶叶废弃物的回收和可持续环境实践
茶叶废弃物中含有一组重要的有机物质,在茶叶制备后未经任何处理,大量排放到环境中。一般来说,近年来,这些废物的无节制排放增加了对环境的关注,主要是水生环境。本研究概述了一项茶叶废弃物绿色复合材料的实验,为利用茶叶废弃物作为增强材料提供更多的知识和发现。目前的实验研究主要集中在聚乳酸(PLA)填充生活茶渣(TW)绿色复合材料的力学性能和表征上。采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和x射线衍射仪(XRD)对茶渣复合PLA的形貌进行了表征。结果表明,茶渣的加入改善了复合材料的力学性能,但由于茶渣颗粒的存在,使复合材料的结晶结构降低。研究结果强烈建议对茶叶废料进行环境管理和回收,以便更好地利用作为能源或其他有价值的应用,以减少对环境污染的影响。
