Waste minimization towards waste management and cleaner production strategies: a literature review

Etching Phosphate Glass-Ceramic with Phosphoric Acid to the Recyclable Synthesis of Porous Materials

“…Therefore, the recyclability of the residual etching solution left behind the material synthesis could remove the big environmental obstacles of the present technology. 30,31 Figure 2 shows that samples of O-PG and R-PG depict very similar DTA curves, except that in the latter case, both the glass-transition point (T g ) and the main crystallization peak have lower temperatures. These decreases in temperatures are due to the increase of P 2 O 5 in R-PG, which was more amorphous, as revealed by its XRD pattern in Figure 1.…”

“…It is noted that in either of the cases, water used for the melt quenching and washing of the acid-treated samples could be reused, and it was not considered in the calculation of the E factor. Therefore, the recyclability of the residual etching solution left behind the material synthesis could remove the big environmental obstacles of the present technology. , …”

Exploration of novel eco-friendly techniques to utilize bioactive compounds from household food waste: special reference to food applications

“…Over 60 tons of rubbish are produced every second in the world's households, amounting to two billion tons of waste annually (Maalouf and Mavropoulos, 2023). The collection, transportation, and treatment of household garbage are a global issue (Mostaghimi and Behnamian, 2023a). Earlier studies have established the correlation between trash generation and population size as well as average income or level of living.…”

“…A hierarchy of recommended waste management techniques is provided by the EC's waste management plan. The five steps of waste management, from most to least preferred, are avoiding waste generation, reusing materials, recycling materials, recovering energy from waste, and safely disposing of waste (Mostaghimi and Behnamian, 2023a). These methods lessen the production of waste, increase resource efficiency, preserve a non-ecofriendly energy mix, develop new markets and businesses, and lessen risks to human health and the environment.…”

Enhancing the biochemical growth of Haematococcus pluvialis by mitigation of broad-spectrum light stress in wastewater cultures

“… 16 Additionally, the novelty of this study is that it has also focused on plastic waste management as well as wastewater management. 17 Wastewater has been used as a growth medium for the algal cells as they are rich in nitrates and phosphates and recycling them has overall reduced the pollution. 18 In earlier studies, the treatment of wastewater by microalgae using other techniques such as microbial fuel cells has been demonstrated and have been very effective in removing pollutants.…”
