Food-derived agricultural chemical residues (FACRs) accumulate gradually in organisms and can damage their nervous system, endocrine system and reproductive system, posing significant harm. Currently, there is little literature on the detection of FACRs in waste wool fibers. In this paper, an ultrasound-assisted extraction-QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe) cleanup-UPLC-Ms/Ms method was applied for the qualitative analysis and quantitative determination of trace FACRs in waste wool fibers with 0.2% formic acid-methanol as extraction solvent and multi-selective ion scanning. Using the external standard method, it was shown that the 13 target FACRs showed good linearity in the mass concentration range of 0.1-50 μg/kg. The limits of detection were 1.0- 10.0 μg/kg and the limits of quantification were 4.0-40.0 μg/kg. The recoveries of the 13 target FACRs ranged from 78 to 112.6% at the 5-, 10- and 20-fold detection limit spiked levels, and the intra- or inter-day relative standard deviations were 2.05-6.98% or 1.98-6.99%, respectively. This method satisfied the detection requirements and can be used in applications.

Cement-bonded particle boards are gaining popularity globally due to their durability, strength, and, more importantly, environmental sustainability. The increasing demand for these materials has also created the necessity for the sustainable recycling of these materials. In this study, the potential to recycle wood-wool cement board (WWCB) waste into new lightweight insulation biocomposite material was examined.

In this study, we investigated the pyrolysis of cellulose, lignin, phenylalanine and textile wool waste using microscale thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and a gram-scale fixed bed reactor. The pyrolysis was conducted at 500 °C and 1 bar N, using Al- and Li-doped mesoporous KIL-2 and ZSM-5 catalysts for comparison. Our results show that amorphous Al-KIL-2 catalyst was the most efficient in producing aromatics from cellulose and lignin.

In this study, the practical application of self-healing asphalt mixtures incorporating steel wool fibers and induction heating was investigated, expanding upon previous research that primarily assessed the self-healing properties rather than optimizing the heating process. Specifically, the aim was to enhance the induction heating methodology for a semi-dense asphalt concrete mixture (AC 16 Surf 35/50 S). In this research, the induction heating parameters were refined to improve the self-healing capabilities, focusing on the following three key aspects: (i) energy consumption, (ii) heating rate, and (iii) heating homogeneity.

Sorption thermodynamics and kinetics of 100 % artificial keratin fibers with acid dyes have been studied to understand the surface properties, dyeability, and suitability for industrial applications. For a sustainable textile fiber industry, affordable biobased fibers with good dyeability and performance properties are essential for commercial acceptance. Artificial keratin fibers developed from waste feathers have already demonstrated excellent strength and wet stability due to their high degree of disulfide crosslinkages and can be cost-effective as well.
