“…The synthesis of metal catalysts from sewage sludge and their application in the oxidation of hydrocarbons has been reported since 2000 [17]. Since then, similar applications have been reported for multiple purposes, such as the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane with textile sludge-based catalysts [18], for the removal of volatile organic compounds using ferric catalysts derived from sludge produced by water purification [19], and for the N−H insertion reaction using catalysts derived from sewage sludge of carbonaceous materials [20].…”

The generation of sewage sludge presents a problem for several manufacturing companies as it results from industrial processes or effluent treatment systems. The treatment of this type of waste requires high economic investment, for this reason, it is necessary to find alternatives to recover the valuable materials of the sludges. In this study, metal catalysts were synthesized using waste sludge from the steel, mining, and hydrocarbon industries. The waste sludge was subjected to thermal treatments for the removal of organic content and the reduction of metals with hydrogen current to activate their catalytic properties. The sludge and synthesized catalysts were analyzed to determine their physical, chemical, thermoenergetic, and catalytic properties. Catalytic activity was evaluated using CO chemisorption and by thermal–catalytic decomposition of crude oil. The best conditions for synthesizing the catalysts were a calcination temperature between 300 and 500 °C and a reduction temperature between 300 and 900 °C. The catalysts presented a specific surface between 2.33 and 16.78 m2/g. The catalytic material had a heat capacity between 0.7 and 1.2 kJ/kg∙K. The synthesized materials presented catalytic activity comparable to that of commercial catalysts. With this recovery technique, the industrial waste can be valorized, obtaining catalyst derived from the sludges and promoting the circular economy of manufacturing companies.

“…The vanadium recovered from oil refinery waste could be used to construct vanadium-based metal–organic frameworks, which showed high catalytic activities for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde . The oxides of transition metals contained in different kinds of sludges and ashes were proposed to mix with V 2 O 5 for catalyzing the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane, and excellent performances have been obtained . Therefore, we speculate that it is feasible to construct Ru-based catalysts using waste Ru recovered from lignite RICO.…”

Novel Approach of Reusing the Precious Ru in the Wastewater Derived from the Depolymerization of Lignite to Prepare Ru–AC Catalysts Doped with Nb₂O₅

Hydrogenation reduction of ethyl levulinate (EL) into γ-valerolactone (GVL) conforms to the requirement of sustainable development of society. Generally, ruthenium-based catalysts are considered excellent catalysts in hydrogenation reactions. However, most of the Ru-based catalysts were commonly constructed with expensive high-purity Ru-containing compounds, which leads to the high cost of the catalysts. In this work, a novel route of using the ruthenium-containing waste solution generated from the depolymerization of lignite as ruthenium source to construct a Ru/activated carbon catalyst doped with niobium oxide (Ru/Nb-AC) was established. The results showed that nearly entire ruthenium in the waste solution (>99%) was transferred into the catalyst, indicating that the process could utilize ruthenium in the waste solution efficiently. Compared with the catalyst constructed with a high-purity ruthenium-containing compound (RuCl 3 ), the catalyst prepared using the Ru-containing waste solution showed similar activity in the hydrogenation of ethyl levulinate (EL) into γ-valerolactone (GVL) under identical reaction conditions. The catalyst could be used repeatedly five times without an obvious decrease in performance. Finally, the possible reaction mechanism for the transformation route of EL to GVL over the Ru/Nb-AC catalyst was proposed. This study provides a novel route for the construction of Ru-based catalysts in the biomass catalytic transformation process and also gives an efficient way of recycling and reusing Ru-containing waste solution after ruthenium ioncatalyzed oxidation (RICO) process of lignite.

Ferric sludge derived from the process of water purification as an efficient catalyst and/or support for the removal of volatile organic compounds

A ferric sludge obtained from the purification of water for human consumption can be used as an efficient catalyst for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by total oxidation. This waste isolated in the purification process has been activated by calcinations in air, characterized by several physicochemical techniques and employed as a catalyst for the removal by total oxidation of two representative VOCs: toluene and propane. This ferric sludge has shown a catalytic activity one order of magnitude higher than that of a commercial iron oxide. This high activity has been related to the composition of the sludge (as it contains active metal oxides such as oxides of iron and manganese) and to the porous structure (leading to a reasonably high surface area). Moreover, it can be used as a support for platinum, showing comparable (or even higher) catalytic activity than a similar platinum catalyst supported on conventional γalúmina.
