Radiative Cooling by Green(er) Solvents‐Upcycled Polyvinyl Chloride From Drug Blisters Waste

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores upcycling poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) from used pharmaceutical blisters into sustainable radiative cooling materials. Using solvent separation and membrane fabrication, PVC was converted into white membranes paired with aluminum foil.

Directed Evolution of an Efficient Polycarbonate Depolymerase With Exceptional Operational Stability

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Here, we show that well studied PET hydrolases can be re‐engineered via directed evolution to deconstruct alternative aromatic‐containing commodity polymers. Introduction of only three mutations into LCCICCG was sufficient to generate an efficient polycarbonate hydrolase with high operational stability that can fully depolymerize a polycarbonate sample

Selective Conversion of Polyolefin Waste to Branched Alkanes via Methane‐Free Tandem Hydrocracking–Isomerization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Scheme illustrating the selective conversion of plastic waste to isomerized C4‐C12 products using RuSZ1 under different reaction conditions. ABSTRACT In recent years, catalytic hydrocracking has emerged as a promising waste‐to‐feedstock solution for processing plastic waste.

Variability of Parameters Involved in Leachate Pollution Index and Determination of LPI from Four Landfills in Malaysia

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2010
Landfill sites are potential sources of human and environmental hazards. Leachate produced form these waste dumping sites is heterogeneous and exhibits huge temporal and seasonal variations.

Chemical Upcycling of Polyphenylene Sulfide at Room Temperature

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) is a semi‐crystalline super engineering plastic with exceptional properties. An iron‐photocatalyzed strategy is reported for chemical upcycling of PPS plastics at room temperature using 1,2‐dichloroethane. The method demonstrates remarkable efficiency across diverse PPS resins and post‐consumer composites, even within ...

Corrosion characteristics of concrete by landfill leachates of different ages

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Landfill leachate is a highly corrosive pollutant, and the composition of landfill leachate varies greatly between landfill ages. Landfill leachates of different ages pose a corrosive danger to concrete structures.

Tuning Li+ and Na+ Functionality in Renewable Carbon Electroactive Material Through Site‐Specific Nanostructural Disorder

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a selective thermal transformation of polycarbonate into hybrid carbon materials. The structured carbon enhances electrochemical performance, particularly in lithium‐ion systems. Investigations reveal improved bimetallic ion diffusivity through the hybrid microstructure, contributing to excellent charge kinetics.

Scalable Electrochemical Concrete Fabrication and Closed‐Loop Recycling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The electrochemical‐driven recycling strategy establishes a reversible concrete material flow by extracting Ca, Si, Al, and Fe from concrete waste and regenerating functional feedstocks. These reversed products are reassembled into new concrete, which re‐enters service and ultimately returns to waste, enabling a closed‐loop, waste‐origin, and low ...
