Description
In response to the global challenge of escalating industrialisation and waste, this project explores thermochemical solutions for the sustainable management of abundant waste sources, such as scrap tyres and agricultural residues. Key findings include efficient demineralisation strategies for tyre derived char, production of high-value carbon composites, and optimisation of solvent systems for agricultural waste processing, The study underscores the critical influence of feedstock selection and processing methods on the properties of resulting carbon materials, exploring their distinct catalytic applications and environmental implications. The project contributes to advancing sustainable waste management practices, emphasizing material recovery and environmental impact reduction.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
