Catalytic degradation of PP with an Fe/activated carbon catalyst

We investigated the function of Fe and activated carbon (AC) as a catalyst by comparing Fe/AC with Fe/SiO₂ or AC, and also the effect of H₂ as a reaction gas on the product distribution in the catalytic degradation of polypropylene. Supported Fe promotes H₂ consumption to decompose solid residues, and AC support degrades heavy oil to produce light oil. As a result, using Fe/AC as a catalyst gives the maximum yield of the liquid product. For the reaction conditions, with a high reaction temperature or a long reaction time, the product distribution is more influenced by the thermal degradation than by the catalytic degradation. For the amount of Fe to load, 5wt% is the optimum condition in our reaction system. We demonstrated the mechanism of the degradation of polyolefins with hydrogen-capping catalysts.

Anammox: an option for ammonium removal in bioreactor landfills

Experiments carried out in bioreactor landfill simulators demonstrated that more than 40% of the total N was transferred into the liquid and gas phases during the incubation period of 380 days. Ammonium, an end product of protein degradation and important parameter to consider during landfill closure, tends to accumulate up to inhibitory levels in the leachate of landfills especially in landfills with leachate recirculation. Most efforts to remove ammonium from leachate have been focused on ex situ and partial in situ methods such as nitrification, denitrification and chemical precipitation. Besides minimal contributions from other N-removal processes, Anammox (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation) bacteria were found to be active within the simulators. Anammox is considered to be an important contributor to remove N from the solid matrix. However, it was unclear how the necessary nitrite for Anammox metabolism was produced. Moreover, little is known about the nature of residual nitrogen in the waste mass and possible mechanisms to remove it. Intrusion of small quantities of O₂ is not only beneficial for the degradation process of municipal solid waste (MSW) in bioreactor landfills but also significant for the development of the Anammox bacteria that contributed to the removal of ammonium. Volatilisation and Anammox activity were the main N removal mechanisms in these pilot-scale simulators. The results of these experiments bring new insights on the behaviour, evolution and fate of nitrogen from solid waste and present the first evidence of the existence of Anammox activity in bioreactor landfill simulators.     

Biodegradability and Biodegradation of Polyesters

A variety of biodegradable plastics have been developed in order to obtain useful materials that do not cause harm to the environment. Among the biodegradable plastics, aliphatic polyesters such as: poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), and poly(l-lactide) (PLA) have become the focus of interest because of their inherent biodegradability. However, before their widespread applications, comprehensive studies on the biodegradability and biodegradation mechanisms of these polyesters are necessary. Thus, this paper describes the degradation mechanisms and the effects of various factors on the degradation of polyesters. The distribution of polymer-degrading microorganisms in the environment, different microorganisms and enzymes involved in the degradation of various polyesters are also discussed.     

A multi-component two-phase flow algorithm for use in landfill processes modelling

This paper describes the finite difference algorithm that has been developed for the flow sub-model of the University of Southampton landfill degradation and transport model LDAT. The liquid and gas phase flow components are first decoupled from the solid phase of the full multi-phase, multi-component landfill process constitutive equations and are then rearranged into a format that can be applied as a calculation procedure within the framework of a three dimensional array of finite difference rectangular elements.The algorithm contains a source term which accommodates the non-flow landfill processes of degradation, gas solubility, and leachate chemical equilibrium, sub-models that have been described in White and Beaven (2013).The paper includes an illustration of the application of the flow sub-model in the context of the leachate recirculation tests carried out at the Beddington landfill project. This illustration demonstrates the ability of the sub-model to track movement in the gas phase as well as the liquid phase, and to simulate multi-directional flow patterns that are different in each of the phases.     

Effect of Metal Compounds and Experimental Conditions on Distribution of Products from PVC Pyrolysis

Effects of heating rate, gas flow rate, and type of metal compounds on the amount of hydrogen chloride, liquid, gas, and solid pyrolyzate obtained from the pyrolysis of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were investigated. The pyrolysis experiments were carried out in both a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) instrument and a fixed-bed reactor. Products from the fixed-bed reactor were collected and analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), titration technique, and gravimetry. It was found that heating rate in the TGA experiments did not affect the amount of released hydrogen chloride. However, the TGA profiles significantly changed with the rate. The onset of dehydrochlorination increased with the rate. In addition, as the heating rate was increased from 10 to 20°C/min, there was no solid residue left. The amount of liquid pyrolyzate obtained from the fixed-bed reactor can be either increased or decreased with the heating rate, depending on the gas flow rate and the actual residence time in the reactor. FTIR and GC-MS analysis indicated that the liquid pyrolyzates were mainly benzene, toluene, and styrene. By comparing the efficiency of various metal compounds in trapping the HCl, it was found that Ca(OH)₂ was more efficient than Mg(OH)₂, and that CaO was more efficient than MgO. These results are discussed in light of the reaction mechanism between HCl and the metal compounds.

A spectrophotometric method for detection of enzymatic degradation of thin polymer films

An assay method has been developed for monitoring the enzymatic degradation of thin films of translucent polymers. The method was based on the observation that when a solution-cast film of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) was exposed to a solution of a depolymerase fromPseudomonas lemoignei, the surface of the film roughened and the film became visibly turbid. This increase in turbidity could be measured spectrophotometrically and was reproducible during the initial stage of degradation. Turbidity correlated very closely with film weight loss early in the degradation but reached a maximum value before extensive degradation had taken place. For a given set of films, this correlation was independent of the concentration of the enzyme used, although it did vary with the mode of enzyme exposure. The turbidity was associated with the exposure of crystalline domains due to the removal of amorphous material from the film surface. The increase in crystallinity at the surface was verified by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATRIR). In conjunction with SEM, weight loss, and ATRIR, the film turbidity assay provided much semiquantitative insight into the mechanism of the enzymatic degradation reaction. This assay was used to study the enzymatic degradation of films of PHBV solution blended with cellulose acetate esters (CAE). The presence of only 25% of CAE of degree of substitution 2.9 severely hampered the enzymatic degradability of PHBV, a result which is consistent with the environmental degradation of these same samples exposed to activated sludge.

Numerical modelling of multiphase flow and transport processes in landfills.

Waste material in municipal landfills can be described as heterogeneous porous media, where flow and transport processes of gases and liquids are combined with local material degradation. This paper deals with the basic formulation of a multiphase flow and transport model applicable to the numerical analysis of coupled transport and reaction processes inside landfills. The transport model treats landfills within the framework of continuum mechanics, where flow and transport processes are described on a macroscopic level. The composition of organic and inorganic matter in the solid phase and its degradation are modelled on a microscopic scale. The degradation model captures the different reaction schemes of various microbial activities. Subsequently, transport and reaction processes have to be coupled, since emissions at the surface and from the drainage layer depend on the flow of leachate and gas, the transport of various substances and heat, and the biodegradation of organic matter. The theoretical considerations presented here are fundamental to the development of numerical models for the simulation of multiphase flow and transport processes inside landfills coupled with biochemical reactions and heat generation. The implicit modelling of leachate and gas flows including growth and decay of micro-organisms are innovative contributions to landfill modelling     

Production of technical grade phosphoric acid from incinerator sewage sludge ash (ISSA)

The recovery of phosphorus from sewage sludge ash samples obtained from 7 operating sludge incinerators in the UK using a sulfuric acid washing procedure to produce a technical grade phosphoric acid product has been investigated. The influences of reaction time, sulfuric acid concentration, liquid to solid ratio and source of ISSA on P recovery have been examined. The optimised conditions were the minimum stoichiometric acid requirement, a reaction time of 120 min and a liquid to solid ratio of 20. Under these conditions, average recoveries of between 72% and 91% of total phosphorus were obtained. Product filtrate was purified by passing through a cation exchange column, concentrated to 80% H₃PO₄ and compared with technical grade H₃PO₄ specifications. The economics of phosphate recovery by this method are briefly discussed.     

Degradation Mechanism of CF/EP Composites in Supercritical <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Butanol with Alkali Additives

CF/EP (carbon fibre/epoxy resin) composites were degraded by supercritical n-butanol with alkali additive KOH in a batch reactor. The catalytic degradation mechanism of the composites was investigated based on the analysis of liquid phase products by GC–MS and solid phase products by FTIR. The results indicate that alkali additive (KOH) can promote Guerbet reaction and increase hydrogen donor capability of supercritical n-butanol. The H^· can combine promptly with the free radical formed by the scission of linear and crosslinked chains in epoxy resin to generate the liquid products, including phenol, 4-isopropylphenol, 4-(2-methylallyl)phenol and other derivatives of benzene and phenol. The combination of supercritical n-butanol with alkali additive is an effective way to degrade and recycle CF/EP composites.     

An ecotoxic risk assessment of residue materials produced by the plasma pyrolysis/vitrification (PP/V) process

Plasma is the fourth state of matter, following the three states of solid, liquid and gas. Experience has amply demonstrated that solids exposed to the oxygen-deficient plasma flame are converted to liquid, and liquid exposed to the same flame is converted to gas. A low amount of vitrified solid residue material usually remains at the end of this process. Plasma pyrolysis/vitrification (PP/V) has been demonstrated as a safe, efficient, cost-effective technology for the treatment of wastes, including hazardous wastes. Besides the low amounts of gaseous byproducts that PP/V produces, the solid vitrified residue presents a low leachability of pollutants. Studies have been performed in many countries in order to assess the leachability of chemical substances. But from the results of identified studies, none has reported results on the ecotoxicological properties of the leachates. The aim of this study was to contribute to the assessment of ecotoxic risk of four different vitrified materials. Vitrified samples of contaminated soils, municipal solid wastes, and incinerator bottom ashes were submitted to the European leaching pre-standard test number prEN 12457-2. The leachates were analyzed for 22 chemical parameters. The biological characterization comprised the assessment of bioluminescence inhibition of Photobacterium phosphoreum bacterium, growth inhibition of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata algae and the germination inhibition of Lactuca sativa vegetable. The chemical and ecotoxicological results were analyzed according to the French proposal of Criteria on the Evaluation Methods of Waste Toxicity (CEMWT) and a Toxicity Classification System (TCS). The chemical and ecotoxicological results indicated a low leachability of pollutants and a low toxicity level of leachates. All samples studied were as below the TCS class 1 level (no significant toxicity observed) and as non-ecotoxic for CEMWT. Therefore, the environmental ecotoxic risk of the analyzed vitrified samples was determined to be very low.
