The feasibility study of transfer arc plasma pyrolysis system for petrochemical wastes: Hydrogen production from Antar, OTD, and Tar.

One of the best and most advanced methods for disposal of urban, hospital, industrial, and other hazardous waste is to convert waste into combustible gases in reactors based on plasma arc technology. Also used for renewable energy generation, this technology involves thermal treatment without a combustion process; therefore, the waste is completely decomposed into simple molecules in a near vacuum environment almost devoid of Oxygen at elevated temperatures. The present research uses a thermal transferred arc plasma reactor to conduct a feasibility study on the pyrolysis of three types of wastes: Antar, Orthotoluenediamine (OTD), and Tar.

Amelioration of fructose-induced hepatic lipid accumulation by vitamin D supplementation and high-intensity interval training in male Sprague‒Dawley rats.

Background: Intrahepatic lipid accumulation (IHL), a hallmark of metabolic disorders, is closely associated with de novo lipogenesis (DNL). Notably, fructose feeding increased the DNL. Lifestyle modifications resulting from dietary changes and increased physical activity/exercise can decrease the IHL content.

Feasibility study of plasma pyrolysis on dairy waste.

Considering the ever-increasing necessity of the disposal of industrial and household waste and using mechanisms through which the utmost potential of the waste is directed to the efficient recycling of materials or forms of energy, the current study aims to investigate plasma pyrolysis as an eco-friendly and appropriate approach that leads to the production of value-added products. The novelty of this study lies in its development of a method for spoiled milk disposal since no efficient solution has been provided yet in this respect. The other benefit of implementing the proposed disposal method is the production of high-quality syngas.

Development and characterization of a spark plasma device designed for medical and aesthetic applications.

Cold atmospheric plasma devices have shown high potential to be useful for different medical applications. In this study, it has been tried to develop and characterize a cold atmospheric spark plasma device that can be used safely as a tool for medical and aesthetic applications. The schematic of the device is presented in the paper, and the signals of each block are also tested.

Plasma pyrolysis feasibility study of Spent Caustic waste to hydrogen production.

Spent caustic is a used industrial caustic whose chemical content puts it in the special waste category. The disposal of this waste and the production of value-added products from it has attracted the attention of researchers not only to solve environmental problems but also to take advantage of its byproducts. This research has experimentally proved the transferred thermal plasma technology as a practical method feasible for the disposal of spent caustic.
