Resin has been widely used for thermosetting printed circuit boards (PCBs) and is a key part of e-waste from scrap PCBs. It requires appropriate treatment because of its harmful elements (metals and metalloids) and organic compounds that are toxic to human health and the environment. The purpose of this study is to eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and elements (metals and metalloids) in resin via the use of powdered snail shell (Babylonia formosae) in an atmospheric-pressure microwave plasma reactor. Shell powder plays a significant role in the destruction of benzene and toluene with removal efficiency 98.8 % and 100 %, respectively, compared to quartz sand with removal efficiency 44.9 %. A high ratio of shell powder increases the inertization of metals and metalloids by more than 96 %. The crystalline structures of these materials are dominated by calcite formations (CaCO), confirming the elimination of metals and metalloids. Raman spectroscopy shows that the shell powder vitrifies these elements. The use of shell powder is thus recommended to degrade hazardous substances and to vitrify elements from resin in plasma pyrolysis.

This study was designed to obtain the maximum extraction yield of peanut shell (PS) polyphenols using a novel carbon dioxide nanobubbles (CO-NBs) assisted ultrasonic extraction method. CO-NBs were generated in distilled water with a self-developed high-pressure nano-jet homogenization method and characterized by size, zeta potential and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The obtained nanobubble's mean size and zeta potential were 229.

This study investigates the process of synthesizing eco-cement clinker using recycled powdered glass (RPG) and oyster shell residue (OSHL) as primary raw materials. Analysis of the mineral composition of RPG revealed that it primarily consists of silica and contains a high level of alkali metal oxides, while OSHL comprises a high-purity trigonal calcite structure, similar in chemical composition to limestone. Comparative analysis of the synthesized ecological cement and its hydration products showed that, after heat treatment at 1200 °C, the alkali metal content in the H12 sample significantly decreased, thereby meeting the standards for cement raw materials.

Eco-friendly castor oil-based composites with a high content of clam shell powder were prepared in this study. Biomass composites were prepared by blending castor-oil-based polyurethane prepolymer (COPU) with a filler consisting of high-content clam shell powder (CSP), named CSP-COPU. The structure, microstructure, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the composites were investigated.

Organic pollutants, especially dyes, are seriously hazardous to the aquatic system and humans due to their toxicity, and carcinogenic or mutagenic properties. In this study, a biochar prepared from agricultural waste (pecan shells) via pyrolysis was applied to remove the dye pollutant Congo Red from wastewater to avoid a negative effect to the ecosystem. This study also investigated the effect of preparation conditions (temperature and heating rate) on the physicochemical properties and the adsorption performance of biochars.
