“…Mesmo quando políticas de prevenção, reutilização e reciclagem dos resíduos são priorizadas, uma fração de resíduos restará e, quando corretamente gerenciados, poderão ser aproveitados do ponto de vista energético (Münster & Lund, 2010). Por meio de Usinas de Recuperação de Energia (URE), os resíduos podem ser utilizados para gerar vapor e eletricidade.…”

“…O acondicionamento inadequado desses resíduos em locais que não seguem os critérios de engenharia e as normas operacionais específicas pode causar grandes impactos ambientais e se tornar um risco à saúde pública (Fruergaard & Astrup, 2011;Münster & Lund, 2010;Stehlik, 2009).…”

“…O gerenciamento dos RSU demanda o emprego de alternativas diversificadas para seu tratamento em decorrência da quantidade produzida, da composição e da localização de geração (Fruergaard & Astrup, 2011;Münster & Lund, 2010;Stehlik, 2009). Dentre as alternativas ambientalmente adequadas para equacionar a disposição dos RSU, as mais comuns podem ser mencionadas: (i) aterro sanitário, (ii) compostagem e o (iii) tratamento térmico.…”

Plastics are embedded in every inch of the fabric of the society. Although they have played a tremendous role in the progress and development of mankind, they have done equal, if not more, harm to the environment, human health, and marine life. Omnipresence of plastics can be attributed to their low-cost and scalable production that no other material has yet achieved. Once produced, they are used in almost every mundane as well as niche application. But the equation of its use to disposal is not sustainable and humungous quantities of plastic waste are generated each year. In this review article, the very problem of plastic recycling is explored and analyzed. The life cycle of plastics is explained to depict the vastness and peculiar problems associated with it. Various misconceptions are discussed on plastic use and recycling. False presumptions are challenged to show where efforts to solve this huge problem and need to be directed. Lastly, quantitative efficiency and economic analysis of the available recycling methods are shown to compare their feasibility and indicate potential development direction. Such analyses are very important for the societal transition to a sustainable economy that economically recycles most of its plastic at a commercial scale.

Characterization of Bio‐oil from Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Organic Waste by NMR Spectroscopy and FTICR Mass Spectrometry

et al. 2012

Solid wastes of organic origins are potential feedstocks for the production of liquid biofuels, which could be suitable alternatives to fossil fuels for the transport and heating sectors, as well as for industrial use. By hydrothermal liquefaction, the wet biomass is partially transformed into a water-immiscible, oil-like organic matter called bio-oil. In this study, an integrated NMR spectroscopy/mass spectrometry approach has been developed for the characterization of the hydrothermal liquefaction of bio-oil at the molecular level. (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy were used for the identification of functional groups and gauging the aromatic carbon content in the mixture. GC-MS analysis revealed that the volatile fraction was rich in fatty acids, as well as in amides and esters. High-resolution Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) has been applied in a systematic way to fully categorize the bio-oil in terms of different classes of components, according to their molecular formulas. Most importantly, for the first time, by using this technique, and for the liquefaction bio-oil characterization in particular, FT-MS data have been used to develop a methodology for the determination of the aromatic versus aliphatic carbon and nitrogen content. It is well known that, because they resist hydrogenation and represent sources of polluting species, both aromatic molecules and nitrogen-containing species raise concerns for subsequent upgrading of bio-oil into a diesel-like fuel.
