New Approaches and Techniques in Waste Management
Green Reduction of Bauxite Residue to Iron Zero Based Catalyst for Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Municipal Solid Waste
Short Introductive summary
Industrial and municipal wastes remain significant sources of air, soil and water pollutions causing adverse climate and health impacts. EU faces challenges on developing green recycling processes, reducing GHG emissions and addressing innovation in green catalysis. We proposed a one-step “Green Recycling” route by which two real-time wastes i.e industrial and municipal wastes could be treated together in a sustainable manner to produce Fe (0)-based catalyst, as an alternative to existing chemical, high temperature and acid/base based waste recycling and catalysts synthesis processes. Due to redox catalytic properties, the catalyst was tested to generate in situ hydrogen from H2O for the hydrodeoxygenation of oxygenates present in biomass to obtain high quality as well as yield of biocrude from organic fraction of municipal solid waste. Hence, this project will explore a new greener path of sustainable catalysts production through transforming hazardous wastes for sustainable and ecofriendly chemical processes.
