“…ASR is a solid and extremely heterogeneous material containing metals, plastic, glass, textiles, fibre materials, wood, etc., and also hazardous compounds (PCB, cadmium, lead, etc.). Therefore, due to the complexity and diversification in chemical composition and material structure of ASR most authors (Nourreddine, 2007) would consider handling ASR via thermal treatment methods and by minimizing mechanical recycling. Donaj et al (2010) have developed a novel and holistic approach to ASR waste management and other similar multi-component waste mixtures (electronic and electric wastes, cable residues, household appliances wastes, vehicle tires, construction and demolition waste, residues from oil refineries and petro-chemicals) based on combining both MP and the high temperature agent gasification (HTAG) process.…”

“…However, ASR occupies normally 20%-25% of original ELV mass, and it is believed it will keep increasing due to the usage of plastic materials in vehicles instead of metals. Therefore in order to reduce the yield of ASR and to achieve the requirements of directives, novel post shredder technologies (PST) for advanced materially recycling of plastic materials from ELVs for feedstock material are required both in the EU and China [13][14][15][16][17].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this feasibility research was to study a novel sensor based separation method for recycling of plastic materials from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) by using eigen-frequency response of impact acoustic emission. In this research three kinds of commonly used plastics, polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and styrene-maleic-anhydride (SMA) sampled from end-of-life vehicles, were researched. Almost all the crushed plastic scraps had a flake structure, theoretically their impact response behaviors were determined by their diameters and thicknesses. The equivalent diameters of the scraps were characterized by fine sieving and their thicknesses were measured online by a 3D laser triangulation sensor above the conveying path. Following this the scraps were free dropped one-by-one to impact with an impact passive body on which impact acoustic emission (AE) signals were generated and acquired by an acoustic pickup sensor. Thirdly, the AE signals which carried eigen-frequency response features were processed and characterized. Results demonstrated that the scraps with diameters < 8 mm were too weak for the actual devices to process; the scraps with diameter from 8-13 mm still generated quite a lot of AE signals of inadequate intensity. Finally the general characterization and recognition yields were 64.6%, 61.7%, and 63.9% of PP, ABS, and SMA in mass, respectively of tested materials. OPEN ACCESSAppl. Sci. 2015, 5 1700

“…It offers the potential for greater efficiencies and less pollution for the production of reactive intermediate products from biomass in comparison with other techniques. Lignocellulosic feedstocks including virgin resources and residues such as wood, coffee hulls, rice straw, waste tea, wheat straw, sewage sludge, and automotive industry wastes including auto shredder residues showed high potentials as the raw materials for the pyrolysis process [64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. However, the efficient decomposition of the biomass components are strongly influenced on process parameters such as reactor configuration, heat transfer, temperature of reaction, and vapor residence time [44].…”

Microwave pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass––a contribution to power Africa

Worldwide efforts are being made to increase the use of renewable energy in order to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Africa is blessed with abundant resources of fossil fuels as well as renewable energy resources. Yet the continent, especially sub-Saharan Africa, is afflicted with power crisis. For example, in Nigeria, erratic electricity supplies will persist unless the government diversifies her energy sources and adopt new technologies available in the electricity generation sector. International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has called for promotion of increased utilization of the continent's vast renewable energy resources to accelerate development. This review examines the perspective of renewable energy from biomass as an important strategy for a sustainable development in Nigeria. The paper also addresses the use of pyrolysis technology--an efficient thermo-chemical process for energy applications. However, the study presents on applications either to replace fossil fuel in an existing diesel engine-based power generation system or to generate electricity using a gas engine. The work also presented herein addresses the use of industrial-and non-industrial-derived biomass residues for energy purposes with specific example on solid palm oil residues in Nigeria. The current status of pyrolysis technology and its potential for commercial application for bio-fuel production using microwave-assisted pyrolysis in Nigeria are presented. This study will extensively review the recent work on microwave-assisted technology applied to the pyrolysis process. It is estimated that electrical power generation potential at about 500 MW can be obtained by using only the available residues from oil palm industry in Nigeria. This potential can be increased 10-fold with more emphasis on expansion and modernization of oil palm industry in Nigeria. This will benefit in terms of higher revenue from the palm oil export as well as higher renewable energy generation from its biomass residue using the microwave-assisted pyrolysis technology.
