Rice husk (RH) and polystyrene (PS) wastes were converted into value-added products using microwave-assisted catalytic co-pyrolysis. The graphite susceptor (10 g) along with KOH catalyst (5 g) was mixed with the feedstock to understand the products and energy consumption. RH promoted the char yield (20-34 wt%) and gaseous yields (16-25 wt%) whereas PS enhanced the oil yield (23-70 wt%). Co-pyrolysis synergy induced an increase in gaseous yields (14-53 wt%) due to excessive cracking. The specific microwave energy consumption dramatically decreased in co-pyrolysis (5-22 kJ/g) compared to pyrolysis (56-102 kJ/g). The pyrolysis index increased (17-445) with the increase in feedstock quantity (5-50 g). The obtained oil was composed of monoaromatics (74%) and polyaromatics (18%). The char was rich in carbon content (79.5 wt%) and the gases were composed of CO (24%), H (12%), and CH (22%).

Effective management of antibiotic sludge (AS) is essential for disease prevention. This study investigated the co-pyrolysis of AS with polyurethane (PU) and rubber tires (RT), focusing on its key drivers, synergies, resulting products, and atmospheric (N versus CO) dependency. Composite pyrolysis index indicated superior co-pyrolysis properties of AS with PU or RT in the CO atmosphere compared with those in the N atmosphere.

Antibiotics in aquatic environments can foster the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing significant risks to both living organisms and ecosystems. This study explored the thermo-chemical conversion of cattle manure (CM) into biochar and assessed its potential as an environmental medium for removing nitrofurantoin (NFT) from water. The biochar was produced through the co-pyrolysis of CM and acid mine drainage sludge (AMDS) in a N condition.

Homostructure construction has been proven to be an effective method for boosting the photocatalytic activity of polymeric carbon nitride. However, the contribution of the intrinsic activity of molecular fragments in the catalytic performance of homostructured carbon nitride is yet to be explored. In this paper, a facile hydrogen-assisted strategy was used to synthesize triazine/heptazine intermolecular homojunctions (g-CN(MU-H)) with an ultrathin and defective structure, via the co-pyrolysis of melamine and urea precursors.

Catalytic co-pyrolysis of two different refinery oily sludge (ROS) samples was conducted to facilitate resource recovery. Non-catalytic pyrolysis in temperatures ranging from 500 to 600°C was performed to determine high oil yields. Higher temperatures enhanced the oil yields up to ~ 24 wt%, while char formation remained unchanged (~ 45%) for S1.
