Analysis of the waste selective collection at drop-off systems: Case study including the income level and the seasonal variation [PDF]
There are several factors which have an influence in the selective collection of the municipal waste. To define a selective collection system, the waste generation pattern should be firstly determined and these factors should be analyzed in depth.

Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams containing glass wastes as partial replacement of fine aggregate and cement [PDF]
New product development of concrete materials give advantages in terms of cost and wastage of materials. Thus, one effective way is to use disposable materials such as waste glass in concrete to minimize the use of raw materials.

Melting behaviour of waste glass cullet briquettes in soda-lime-silica container glass batch [PDF]
The melting behaviour of representative container glass batch with and without the addition of 15wt % briquettes produced from waste cullet fine particles was investigated in the context of reducing both waste and glass melting energies.

The first cryo‐EM visualization and quantification of oriented Photosystem I (PSI) on single‐layer graphene is reported. Domain‐specific covalent anchoring of PSI, with the reducing side of the biophotocatalyst toward graphene, promotes three‐fold higher anodic photocurrent generation compared to a randomly physisorbed counterpart. This approach allows

Material Recycling of Municipal Waste Slags by Using Phase Separation of Glass [PDF]
A novel recycling process of municipal waste slags obtaining Fe-free colorless materials was developed by using a phase separation of borosilicate glass. B(2)O(3) was added to a simulated waste slag to promote the phase separation.
