The accurate estimation of municipal solid waste composition is crucial for effective waste management and resource recovery. Conventional approaches rely on direct sampling, which is both time-consuming and costly. This study presents an accurate and stable Genetic algorithm-based inverse method for estimating municipal solid waste composition without sampling. The method estimates municipal solid waste composition from measurable parameters, including flue gas, working fluid, ash, and leachate, using a genetic algorithm for accurate and stable estimation without physical sampling. The method’s accuracy and stability are validated through numerical simulation experiments involving five distinct municipal solid waste compositions. Data from direct problem simulations, perturbed by random errors, serve as inputs for the genetic algorithm-based inverse solution. Results indicate that the inverse solution is stable. Results indicate that the inverse solution is stable and accurately reproduces the average composition of the five municipal solid waste samples used in the direct method. The results reveal that the estimated composition of municipal solid waste closely matches actual values, demonstrating the feasibility of this genetic algorithm-based approach. The modified methodology is employed at the Aradkooh waste-to-energy power plant in Tehran, Iran. The findings from the Aradkooh power station indicate that the carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, moisture, and ash content of municipal solid waste are 27.14, 33.29, 3.16, 0.3, 15.41, and 20.21 percent, respectively. The novelty of this study lies in stabilizing the inverse problem by increasing the number of equations. As a result, the solution achieves higher accuracy and lower estimation errors compared to previous studies.

准确估算城市生活垃圾组成对有效管理和资源回收至关重要。传统的方法依赖于直接抽样，这既耗时又昂贵。提出了一种基于遗传算法的不采样、准确稳定的城市生活垃圾成分反演方法。该方法根据可测量的参数（包括烟气、工作液、灰分和渗滤液）估计城市固体废物的组成，使用遗传算法进行准确和稳定的估计，而无需物理采样。通过五种不同城市生活垃圾组成的数值模拟实验，验证了该方法的准确性和稳定性。来自直接问题模拟的数据，受到随机误差的干扰，作为基于遗传算法的反解的输入。结果表明，反解是稳定的。结果表明，反解稳定，能准确再现直接法中5种城市生活垃圾样品的平均成分。结果表明，估算的城市生活垃圾成分与实际值接近，证明了基于遗传算法的方法的可行性。伊朗德黑兰的Aradkooh废物转化能源发电厂采用了这种改进的方法。Aradkooh电厂的研究结果表明，城市生活垃圾的碳、氧、氢、硫、水分和灰分含量分别为27.14%、33.29%、3.16%、0.3%、15.41%和20.21%。本研究的新颖之处在于通过增加方程数来稳定逆问题。结果表明，与以往的研究相比，该方法具有更高的精度和更小的估计误差。

Carbon black is a product with multiple applications, including use as an additive for tyres or plastics, as well as ink or toner. Current methods of carbon black production are based on incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, followed by quenching, resulting in a high carbon footprint and related emissions. Even though unintended, biodegradable bioplastics at the end of life still pose problems to waste management plants. Most notably, the time required for bioplastics to biodegrade is longer than the typical residence time in state-of-the-art processes, such as anaerobic digestion and composting. This causes incomplete degradation and reduces the efficiency of waste treatment facilities. This work provides an experimental evaluation of a novel method of production of carbon black, using bioplastic waste (namely, cellulose acetate) as a feedstock. The proposed system consists of hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) and subsequent pyrolysis of separated solid products. The novel product exhibits morphology and structure similar to commercial carbon black and high thermal stability. BET surface area as high as 175 m²/g can be achieved by combining hydrothermal carbonisation performed at 250 °C followed by pyrolysis at 600 °C. Further increase in pyrolysis temperature provided no additional benefits and resulted in collapse of the pores within the mesoporous range, with detrimental influence on BET surface and pore volume.

炭黑是一种具有多种用途的产品，包括用作轮胎或塑料的添加剂，以及油墨或碳粉。目前的炭黑生产方法是基于化石燃料的不完全燃烧，然后淬火，导致高碳足迹和相关排放。即使是无意的，生物可降解的生物塑料在使用寿命结束时仍然会给废物管理工厂带来问题。最值得注意的是，生物塑料生物降解所需的时间比厌氧消化和堆肥等最先进工艺的典型停留时间要长。这导致不完全降解，降低了废物处理设施的效率。这项工作提供了一种生产炭黑的新方法的实验评估，使用生物塑料废物（即醋酸纤维素）作为原料。该系统由水热碳化（HTC）和随后的分离固体产物热解组成。该新产品具有与商品炭黑相似的形态和结构，具有较高的热稳定性。通过250℃水热碳化和600℃热解相结合，BET表面积可高达175 m2/g。进一步提高热解温度没有额外的好处，导致介孔范围内的孔隙坍塌，对BET表面和孔隙体积产生不利影响。

Resource recycling effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions from raw material extraction, thereby playing a crucial role in carbon emission reduction. This study adopted carbon footprint evaluation and emission factor methods to establish an approach and accounting model for carbon emission reduction from e-waste. The carbon emission reduction potential and characteristics of e-waste in China over the past decade were explored. The results indicated that from 2013 to 2022, the carbon emissions from e-waste recycling amounted to 1.459 × 10⁴ kiloton (Kt), the baseline emissions and avoided carbon emissions reached 6.932 × 10⁴ Kt, and the carbon emission reductions were 5.473 × 10⁴ Kt. In 2022, the average carbon emission reduction factor for standardized e-waste recycling was 2.865 tCO₂eq/t. The recycling of refrigerants, circuit boards, and metals was the main source of carbon emission reduction, contributing 40.7 %, 33.0 %, and 18.3 % of the total, respectively. Therefore, developing e-waste carbon emission reduction projects, and improving standardized e-waste recycling and disposal systems can effectively promote resource recycling and green development.

In conventional recycling processes for spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the black mass (BM) of spent LIBs is typically subjected to high-temperature treatment, followed by leaching of valuable metals using strong acids or alkalis. However, these processes are energy-intensive, environmentally detrimental, and costly. Herein, we proposed a microwave-enhanced carbothermal reduction (MECTR) method characterized by a rapid heating rate and high heating efficiency. Under microwave irradiation at approximately 20 W, the temperature of the BM was elevated to 545 °C, and LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ (NCM811) was completely decomposed within 10 min. Subsequently, lithium was selectively extracted via simple water leaching at room temperature, achieving a leaching efficiency of 96.07 %. Nickel, cobalt, and manganese were effectively leached using a 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution at 60 °C, with leaching efficiencies of 98.01 %, 98.53 %, and 99.50 %, respectively. In addition, the particle morphology and elemental distribution of the BM before and after microwave heating and water leaching were investigated using SEM-EDS, and the formation and leaching behavior of lithium carbonate were analyzed. This strategy, with significant advantages in terms of recovery efficiency, processing time, and energy consumption, provides a promising and sustainable alternative for the recycling of spent LIBs.

在废锂离子电池（lib）的传统回收过程中，废锂离子电池的黑色物质（BM）通常经过高温处理，然后使用强酸或强碱浸出有价值的金属。然而，这些过程是能源密集型的，对环境有害，而且成本高昂。本文提出了一种加热速度快、加热效率高的微波增强碳热还原（MECTR）方法。在大约20 W的微波照射下，BM的温度升高到545℃，LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 （NCM811）在10 min内完全分解。随后，采用室温简单水浸法选择性提取锂，浸出率为96.07%。采用0.5 M硫酸溶液在60℃条件下有效浸出镍、钴和锰，浸出效率分别为98.01%、98.53%和99.50%。此外，利用SEM-EDS研究了微波加热和水浸前后BM的颗粒形态和元素分布，并分析了碳酸锂的形成和浸出行为。该策略在回收效率、处理时间和能源消耗方面具有显著优势，为废lib的回收提供了一种有前途的可持续替代方案。

The growing volume of spent Indium-Gallium-Zinc Oxide (IGZO) from optoelectronic waste presents both a resource opportunity and an environmental challenge due to the acidic effluent generated by conventional recycling. This study introduces a waste-free segmented roasting strategy to sustainably recover critical metals (In, Ga, Zn) while minimizing secondary pollution. The reduction mechanism reveals that IGZO decomposes at 1000 °C into ZnGa₂O₄, In₂O₃, and volatile Zn. Subsequent acid leaching recovers In, while a second roast at 1100 °C decomposes ZnGa₂O₄ to recover Zn and enrich Ga₂O₃ in the residue. This approach reduces acid and water consumption by > 95 %, virtually eliminating acidic wastewater. The process achieves high recovery rates (∼97 % Zn, ∼93 % In, >98 % Ga) and enables CO off-gas capture, offering an efficient and eco-friendly alternative to hydrometallurgical routes for IGZO recycling.

光电子废弃物中产生的氧化铟镓锌（IGZO）废料的数量不断增加，这既是一种资源机遇，也是一种环境挑战，因为传统回收会产生酸性废水。本研究介绍了一种无废分段焙烧策略，以可持续地回收关键金属（In, Ga, Zn），同时最大限度地减少二次污染。还原机理表明，IGZO在1000℃时分解为ZnGa2O4、In2O3和挥发性Zn。后续酸浸回收铟，1100℃二次焙烧分解ZnGa2O4，回收锌，富集渣中的Ga2O3。这种方法减少了95%的酸和水的消耗，几乎消除了酸性废水。该工艺实现了高回收率（~ 97% Zn, ~ 93% In, > 98% Ga），并实现了CO废气捕获，为IGZO回收提供了一种高效且环保的替代方法。

Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) was subjected to pyrolysis using calcium oxide (CaO) derived from eggshells calcined via concentrated solar energy (Fresnel lens), offering an environmentally benign and low-carbon route for catalyst synthesis. A kinetic study using the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) methods determined the activation energy ranging from 284 kJ/mol for BSG to 176 kJ/mol for BSG/EG, indicating that CaO reduces the energy barrier for thermal decomposition. CO₂ capture performance of calcined eggshells was evaluated through multiple carbonation-regeneration cycles, showing reduced sorption capacity, mainly due to the sintering effect, yet maintaining acceptable cyclic stability for reuse. Despite having lower efficiency than commercial CaO, eggshell-derived material represents a sustainable and cost-effective strategy for CO₂ mitigation and catalytic applications. Central composite design (CCD) was used to evaluate the influence of pyrolysis temperature and catalyst loading on vapor composition. Highest hydrocarbon yields (∼50 %) were obtained at temperatures of 750 and 791 °C, using catalyst mass fractions of 74 % and 50 %, respectively. Lower relative yields occurred at 501 °C or the lowest catalyst loading amount (16 %). Catalytic tests at 550 °C produced similar hydrocarbon profiles to non-catalytic tests at 750 °C, indicating that the catalyst reduced the activation energy of the reaction. Increasing temperature and catalyst loading promoted deoxygenation, reducing multi-oxygenated compounds and enriching mono-oxygenated species, upgrading vapor quality. Overall, integrating solar-driven calcination with catalytic pyrolysis establishes a closed-loop waste-to-energy route that converts BSG into hydrocarbon-rich products while recycling eggshell waste into multifunctional CaO, advancing the circular economy and sustainable energy generation.

利用聚光太阳能（菲涅尔透镜）煅烧蛋壳提取的氧化钙（CaO）对Brewer’s spent grain （BSG）进行热解，为催化剂合成提供了一种环保和低碳的途径。采用Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose （KAS）和Flynn-Wall-Ozawa （FWO）方法进行动力学研究，确定了BSG的活化能在284 kJ/mol至176 kJ/mol之间，表明CaO降低了热分解的能垒。通过多次碳化-再生循环对煅烧蛋壳的CO2捕获性能进行了评估，结果显示，主要由于烧结效应，吸附能力降低，但仍保持可接受的循环稳定性，可以重复使用。尽管蛋壳衍生材料的效率低于商用CaO，但它代表了一种可持续的、具有成本效益的二氧化碳减排和催化应用战略。采用中心复合设计（CCD）评价热解温度和催化剂负载对汽相组成的影响。在750°C和791°C的温度下，催化剂质量分数分别为74%和50%，获得了最高的碳氢化合物收率（~ 50%）。在501°C或最低催化剂负载量（16%）时，相对产率较低。在550°C下进行的催化试验与在750°C下进行的非催化试验产生的碳氢化合物剖面相似，表明催化剂降低了反应的活化能。提高温度和催化剂负载促进了脱氧，减少了多氧化合物，丰富了单氧物质，改善了蒸汽质量。总的来说，将太阳能驱动煅烧与催化热解相结合，建立了一条将BSG转化为富含碳氢化合物的产品，同时将蛋壳废弃物转化为多功能CaO的闭环废物转化能源路线，促进了循环经济和可持续能源的产生。

Overall, integrating solar-driven calcination with catalytic pyrolysis establishes a closed-loop waste-to-energy route that converts BSG into hydrocarbon-rich products while recycling eggshell waste into multifunctional CaO, advancing the circular economy and sustainable energy generation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23969,"journal":{"name":"Waste management","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 115301"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145820926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising route for biofuel production, but the resulting bio-crude suffers from low quality, high metal content, and poor stability. This study explores the use of red mud (RM), a metal oxide-rich industrial waste, as a low-cost catalyst and hydrogen producer to enhance bio-crude yield and stability during the HTL of oak wood. To enhance RM performance, it was modified through thermal treatment, acid washing, and reduction. The study aimed not only to improve bio-crude yield and quality but also to assess the impact of these treatments on the migration of metals into the oil and aqueous phases. The acid-washed and reduced RM showed the best catalytic activity, reaching a bio-crude yield of almost 50 %. This was attributed to its high surface area which increased from 14.9 to 49.1 m²/g and consequently, enhanced iron availability, which promoted in-situ hydrogen generation. As revealed by the characterization of the samples, acid treatment led to the formation of a stable FeTiO3 (ilmenite) phase, which enabled the complete reduction and reoxidation of Fe during the process. The presence of ilmenite also significantly minimized Fe leaching into both oil and water phases, the amount of Fe in the bio-crude decreases from 2330 to 42.5 ppm. Bio-crudes obtained with both catalysts showed high H/C ratios and carbon recoveries up to 67 %. These results demonstrate the potential of modified RM as a sustainable catalyst in HTL, offering a valuable route for waste valorization and reducing the need for expensive bio-crude upgrading.

水热液化（HTL）是一种很有前途的生物燃料生产途径，但所得到的生物原油质量低、金属含量高、稳定性差。本研究探讨了利用富含金属氧化物的工业废渣赤泥作为低成本催化剂和产氢剂，提高橡树木高温热解过程中生物原油的产率和稳定性。为了提高RM性能，通过热处理、酸洗和还原对其进行了改性。该研究不仅旨在提高生物原油的产量和质量，而且还旨在评估这些处理对金属向油相和水相迁移的影响。酸洗还原的RM表现出最好的催化活性，达到近50%的生物原油收率。这是由于它的高表面积从14.9增加到49.1 m2/g，从而提高了铁的可用性，从而促进了原位氢的生成。样品的表征表明，酸处理导致形成稳定的FeTiO3（钛铁矿）相，使铁在此过程中完全还原和再氧化。钛铁矿的存在也显著减少了铁在油相和水相的浸出，生物原油中的铁含量从2330 ppm降至42.5 ppm。两种催化剂制备的生物原油均具有较高的H/C比和高达67%的碳回收率。这些结果证明了改性RM作为HTL可持续催化剂的潜力，为废物增值和减少昂贵的生物原油升级需求提供了有价值的途径。

This study investigates the impact of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) products (both hydrochars, (HC), and process water, (PW) derived from olive tree pruning, on the development of lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa). HTC was performed under varying conditions (temperature 200–220 °C and biomass to water load, 1/5 and 1/12 wt./wt.) and both HC and PW characterized by suitable physico-chemical analyses. It was found that not only their processing conditions but also the amount at which these HTC products were added affected their performance when added to the seeds or plants. In the case of HCs, germination and phytotoxicity tests on lettuce seeds promoted root growth at low concentrations (0.5 %) and inhibited germination and seedling development at higher concentrations (≥2%). The effect of PWs was linked by the biomass load used in HTC: lower ratios showed phytotoxicity, while more diluted options were not detrimental. These findings underscore the dual potential of HTC products as fertilizers or herbicides, contingent on processing and application parameters.

本研究探讨了从橄榄树修剪中提取的水热碳化（HTC）产品（碳氢化合物（HC）和工艺水（PW））对生菜植株（lacuca sativa）发育的影响。HTC是在不同的条件下进行的（温度200-220°C，生物质/水负荷，1/5和1/12 wt./wt.）， HC和PW都通过适当的物理化学分析来表征。研究发现，除了加工条件外，这些HTC产品的添加量也会影响它们在添加到种子或植物中时的性能。在HCs的情况下，生菜种子的萌发和植物毒性试验表明，低浓度（0.5%）的HCs促进了根的生长，高浓度（≥2%）的HCs抑制了萌发和幼苗的发育。PWs的影响与HTC中使用的生物量负荷有关：较低的比例显示植物毒性，而更稀释的选项则无害。这些发现强调了HTC产品作为肥料或除草剂的双重潜力，这取决于加工和应用参数。

This study conducts a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of chitosan and mold extract recovery from fungal biomass waste by integrating process simulation with advanced experimental design methodologies. Simulation scenarios, developed using the simplex lattice mixture design (SLMD), evaluated the influence of biomass composition on economic performance. Higher chitosan, protein, and glucan levels markedly improved profitability, while optimization via experimental design established a robust basis for scale-up and industrial deployment. Additionally, a two-stage approach combining Taguchi and Box–Behnken designs systematically examined the effects of critical operational parameters on process efficiency and profitability. For a plant processing 773 tons/year of feedstock, the total investment cost was estimated at $3.7 million with a 1.8-year payback. Profitability was found to plateau beyond a certain installed capacity. The proposed framework advances sustainable bioprocessing strategies utilizing agro-industrial and fungal fermentation residues. Ultimately, this work suggests the “Reverse Bioprocess Design” paradigm as a transformative approach for co-optimizing primary and secondary streams toward sustainable, high-value industrial bioprocessing.

The pore structure, which serves as a conduit for gas and leachate migration during municipal solid waste (MSW) landfilling, undergoes continuous changes in pore size and connectivity with waste degradation. In this study, we established two types of landfill simulation containers filled with either formless or fixed-shaped MSW particles. Computer tomography (CT) scanning technology was used to monitor the pore structures regularly in situ during degradation, and Avizo image processing software was used to extract the characteristic parameters of the pore structure. The results showed that the pore structures all had unimodal distributions. The pore structures of the formless synthetic MSW particles continued to shrink, the sizes of the nodal pores decreased, and the pore channels narrowed and shortened with degradation. In contrast, the pore structures of the fixed-shaped MSW particles continued to grow during degradation, the nodal pores enlarged, and the pore channels expanded. Specifically, the pore channel length increased by nearly 1000 μm. This finding indicated that changes in the pore structures of wastes could be determined by the supporting factors of waste particles and by the biodegradation of microorganisms. The pore structures grew when the supporting factors were predominant and shrank when microorganism biodegradation was predominant.

在城市生活垃圾（MSW）填埋过程中，孔隙结构作为气体和渗滤液迁移的管道，随着垃圾降解，孔隙大小和连通性不断变化。在本研究中，我们建立了两种类型的垃圾填埋场模拟容器，分别填充无定形和固定形状的生活垃圾颗粒。利用计算机断层扫描（CT）技术对降解过程中孔隙结构进行原位定期监测，并利用Avizo图像处理软件提取孔隙结构特征参数。结果表明，孔隙结构均呈单峰分布。随着降解的进行，无定形合成垃圾颗粒的孔隙结构持续收缩，节点孔尺寸减小，孔道变窄、缩短。固形固体垃圾颗粒在降解过程中孔隙结构持续增长，节点孔扩大，孔道扩张。其中，孔隙通道长度增加了近1000 μm。这一发现表明，废物孔隙结构的变化可以由废物颗粒的支持因素和微生物的生物降解决定。支持因子作用下孔隙结构增大，微生物降解作用下孔隙结构缩小。
