Summary: Chemical pre-treatment of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) waste before thermal degradation increases mechanical properties retention and reduces heat consumption during recycling. Recycling with proper pre-treatment preserves up to 90.53% of the strength of the original fibers, which is 10.21% higher than recycling through thermal degradation alone. The hybrid approach developed in this research successfully recycles commercial bike forks and airplane scraps made of CFRP composites, demonstrating the efficacy of the coating removal and chemical pre-treatment on the mechanical characteristics of carbon fibers recovered for real-world applications.

Summary: In this study, a microwave-assisted glycolysis process was used to chemically recycle rigid polyurethane foam waste. The process resulted in a single-phase product with suitable physiochemical properties for the preparation of new rigid polyurethane products. Compared to traditional heating methods, the use of microwaves reduced the reaction time by 94% and energy consumption by 45%. The recovered glycolysis products were used as a substitute for virgin polyol in the preparation of rigid polyurethane foam, resulting in improved compressive strength and comparable thermal insulation properties.

Summary: A double chamber electrochemical system was developed, consisting of a boron-doped diamond anode and a graphite cathode, which efficiently degrades sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and generates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) simultaneously. The system showed excellent performance at optimized conditions, achieving SMX degradation of 95% and COD reduction of 90% after 180 minutes of electrolysis, while accumulating around 535 μM H2O2. A degradation pathway for SMX was proposed based on the identification of five intermediates.

Summary: Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a renewable energy technology that uses heliostats to concentrate solar irradiance onto a receiver, where a fluid is used as a heat carrier. Using gas/solid suspensions as heat transfer medium in CSP offers advantages over other fluids, including higher achievable temperatures. Recent experiments have shown promising results using upflow bubbling fluidized beds for heat transfer in CSP systems. Challenges still remain in transferring particles between different components of the system.

Summary: This study investigated the degradation kinetics and mechanisms of different types of recalcitrant organic pollutants (ROPs) using a biochar-CuO/periodate (PI) system. The study found that the pH had significant effects on the formation of oxidative species, with the system being most efficient at pH 7. The system was able to efficiently remove methylene blue (MB) at pH 7, while under highly alkaline pH values, the degradation kinetics of the pollutant were lower. The system maintained its efficiency for other types of ROPs and could detoxify MB.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
