Plastic pollution and contamination originates from raw material handling, polymerization, compounding, and fabrication, contributing to environmental accumulation. Advanced analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, Raman spectroscopy...
Plastic waste second life management requires effective detection (and sorting if necessary) techniques to tackle the environmental challenge it poses. This research explores the application of hyperspectral imaging in the spectral range 900-1700 nm ...
The construction sector is a large consumer of plastic, generating substantial volumes of plastic waste. Effective recycling of this waste requires accurate classification, as different plastic materials undergo distinct recycling processes to retain...
Efficient recycling of plastics is critical for environmental sustainability. In this work, an efficient and anti-interference method for plastic classification based on one-shot learning and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was proposed. ...
The marine environment is grappling with microplastic (MP) pollution, necessitating an understanding of its distribution patterns, influencing factors, and potential ecological risks. However, the vast area of the ocean and budgetary constraints make...
A general method for predicting gas yield is crucial in biomass and plastics co-pyrolysis. This study employed two machine learning methods to forecast gas yield in co-pyrolysis. Comparing the predictive performance of Support Vector Regression (SVR)...
Accurate identification of plastic materials from post-consumer food container and packaging waste is crucial for enhancing the purity and added value of recycled materials, thereby promoting recycling and addressing the issue of plastic pollution. H...
Marine plastic pollution has emerged as a significant ecological and biological issue impacting global marine ecosystems. To develop real-time cleaning systems for marine plastic litter, we implemented a three-dimensional marine plastic litter real-t...
Current industrial separation and sorting technologies struggle to efficiently identify and classify a large part of Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) plastics due to their high content of certain additives. In this study, Raman spect...
