Utilization of CO2 to produce value-added chemicals is a promising approach to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In this work, a new process for the conversion of CO2 to dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethylene glycol (EG) was rigorously simulated and assessed in term of the technical performance and the environmental impact. The proposed model invol...

The demand for high-quality silicon for solar cell preparation will continue to grow due to shortages of silicon feedstock driven by the photovoltaic industry. Consequently, the silicon lost in diamond wire saw silicon powder waste during silicon wafer production must be recovered for silicon production. Depending on the current yield of silicon an...

Copper-based mixed wastes include copper-containing wastes from the chemical, metallurgy, copper processing, printing, electronic component manufacturing, and other industries. Copper-based mixed wastes have high humidity and a significantly lower copper content than general waste copper, pose serious environmental hazards, and are very difficult t...

Recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has attracted ever-growing attention owing to the scarcity of critical metals and potential environmental risk. Sulfation roasting, as traditional technology, is considered uneconomical and not environmentally friendly due to tremendous consumption of energy and emission of waste gases such as SO2 or ...

The processing of biomass in ionic liquids has demonstrated many benefits compared to organic solvents. This includes the maximization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) yield from sugars through the suppression of byproducts, such as formic acid and levulinic acid. Inefficiencies still exist due to the low stability of HMF at high temperature, leadi...
