Waste Recycling Technologies for Nanomaterials Manufacturing

Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering Series Editor Carlos P. Bergmann, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

“Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering” welcomes manuscripts in these three main focus areas: Extractive Metallurgy/Mineral Technology; Manufacturing Processes, and Materials Science and Technology. Manuscripts should present scientific solutions for technological problems. The three focus areas have a vertically lined multidisciplinarity, starting from mineral assets, their extraction and processing, their transformation into materials useful for the society, and their interaction with the environment. ** Indexed by Scopus (2020) **

Preface

Nowadays, nanomaterials (NMs) are used in many areas and applications, including medicine, energy, and environment. The initial cost of the NMs is high; thus, finding cheap sources is required. In addition, waste accumulation is a serious environmental problem. Therefore, recycling waste into valuable NMs is highly required, where it has environmental and economic benefits. Waste management is pressing hard to warn the industry. Humans always produce waste and discard it in some way, influencing the environment. At present, no spot on the earth is not exposed to some waste. These materials may cause immediate health risks to humans and animals. Other wastes persist for a long time in the environment until they reach damaging levels to ecosystems. Hence, the upsurge in waste generated by the industries and human activities needs to be managed. Various recycling methods have been developed and applied for the conversion of wastes into useful forms of materials and NMs. The standard methods applied to recover the generated wastes, including recycling, reducing, and reuse, still need more developments. Information and techniques for investigations are minimal. Nonetheless, it is incredibly likely that NMs used in several items would be in the waste stream. Environmental risks related to the treatment of nanowastes remain unexplored. Another factor is whether items containing NMs, consisting of recycling processes, will affect the waste management capabilities/performance or not. In comparison, NMs may substitute certain substances that make products, e.g., smarter or more efficient, to get into waste management sooner and potentially play a role in waste reduction. Draw up an overview of nanomaterial and waste-related scientific, health, and environmental problems, and assess the available recycling issues are needed. The ultimate goal is to consider looking for identical statistics to compare the potential hazards associated with the existence of NMs in the waste. This book provides in-depth studies about these challenges and covers these issues in four parts.

Preface

Part One: Fundamentals, Current Prospects, and Future Trends In this part, we covered the basics of nanomaterials in terms of manufacturing, characteristics, and applications. Various techniques used to recycle waste have been discussed. In addition, this part highlights the fundamentals, current prospects, and future trends of the recovered nanomaterials.

Part Two: Electronics Waste Recycling Technologies In this part, we highlighted the importance of recycling in terms of environmental and economic perspectives. We discussed the recycling techniques of electronic waste, including lithium-ion batteries, zinc–carbon batteries, etc. For example, hierarchical cobalt oxide nanostructure has been recovered from spent lithium-ion batteries using magnetic electrodeposition. In addition, MnO2 nanoflower has obtained from zinc–carbon batteries using electrodeposition and other methods. The materials used for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries also recovered from various waste sources. The applications of the recovered materials for supercapacitors, batteries, electrocatalytic, and sensing have been discussed.

Part Three: Agriculture Waste Recycling Technologies In this part, we covered the conversion of agricultural waste into nanomaterials, mainly carbon-based nanomaterials and their composites. The studied agriculture waste includes rice husk, rice husk ash, bamboo leaves, bio-waste sago bark, banana fibers, argania spinosa seeds, corn grains, sugarcane fibers, and oil palm shells, palm kernel shells, orange peel, wheat flour, etc. Various nanomaterials compositions and morphologies were obtained, such as pure activated carbon, hetero-atom-doped carbon materials, and metal oxides/carbon nanocomposites. The recovered materials have been studied for various applications, including water treatments, energy storage, and forensic medicine applications.

Part Four: Plastic and Polymeric Waste Recycling Technologies Plastic is one of the most significant hazards to the environment. Plastic is a non-biodegradable material, and several toxic chemicals leach out of it and seep through the soil, water, plants, and animals. In this part, we introduced the topic of utilizing plastic wastes as a precursor for the fabrication of carbon-based materials. While also highlighting the factors affecting the efficiency of each process and the recent progress in this regard, this part also highlights recycling polyethylene terephthalate waste into a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent. Recent breakthroughs in

carbon-based nanomaterials’ science and technology use paraffinic waxes as a carbon source where it consists of not less than 18 carbon number per single paraffin crystal. This part also describes the separation of paraffinic petroleum wax, its purification, and characterization beside nanocarbon synthesis. Different nanomaterials can be synthesized from the waste plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride plastic is used as the carbon source for the fabrication of MoC2 nanoparticles.
