Article Abstract
This research investigates the formation mechanism of soot and particulate matter during the pyrolysis and gasification of waste derived from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in a laboratory scale drop tube furnace. Compared with CO gasification atmosphere, more ultrafine particles (PM, aerodynamic diameter less than 0.2 μm) were generated in N atmosphere at 1200℃, which were mainly composed of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), graphitic carbonaceous soot and volatile alkali salts. High reaction temperatures promote the formation of hydrocarbon gaseous products and their conversion to PAHs, which ultimately leads to the formation of soot particles. The soot particles generated by waste derived from MSW pyrolysis and gasification both have high specific surface area and well-developed pore structure. Compared with pyrolysis, the soot generated by gasification of waste derived from MSW had smaller size and higher proportion of inorganic components. The higher pyrolysis temperature led to the collapse of the mesoporous structure of submicron particles, resulting in a decrease in total pore volume and an increase in specific surface area. Innovatively, this research provides an explanation for the effect of reaction temperature/ CO on the formation pathways and physicochemical properties of soot and fine particulate matter.

This study systematically evaluated the inhibitory effects of model compounds from sludge-derived hydrothermal liquefaction aqueous phase (HTLaq) on anaerobic digestion (AD) at both mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures using a total of 1008 anaerobic toxicity assays (ATA). Twenty representative compounds of suspected inhibitors, including nitrogen-containing heterocyclics like pyridines, pyrrolidinones, and pyrazines, as well as phenols and ketones, were tested at varying dosages (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg/L) to assess their impact on volatile fatty acids (VFA) generation and consumption, methane production, substrate utilization, and inhibitory compound degradation. Results demonstrated that thermophilic AD is generally more susceptible to inhibition than mesophilic AD, both in terms of acute and chronic toxicity.

For meeting requirements of "green steel" and "circular economy", there was great potential and value to synthesize CO adsorbent with low price and excellent performance by using multiple solid wastes. In this study, a novel method was proposed to synthesize zeolite by blast furnace slag. CO adsorption isotherm, thermodynamic and kinetic were investigated comprehensively.

Tracing footprint and risk of microplastics and microfibers is crucial to managing plastic and fiber waste. We identified microfibers from microplastics, quantitatively apportioned the sources of microplastics and microplastics in 102 lakes across China by field work, and developed a novel index (IMRI) to assess the risk based on human footprint and the abundance, size, shape, color, and residual monomers and chemical additives. The abundance in the sediments of these lakes ranged from 0.

Polyurethane (PU), a segmented block copolymer with chemically resistant urethane linkages and tunable architecture, presents persistent biological recycling challenges. This study presents a Bacterial Laccase-Mediated System (BLMS) derived from for efficient degradation of polyester- and polyether-PU. Utilizing the laccase CotA and mediator 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), the BLMS demonstrated effective de polymerization of both commercial and self-synthesized PU foams, including polyester- and polyether-types.
