Recycling waste glass (WG) can be time-consuming, costly, and impractical. However, its incorporation into concrete significantly reduces environmental impact and carbon emissions. This paper introduces machine learning (ML) to civil engineering to o...
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the discovery of new materials offers significant potential for advancing sustainable technologies. This paper presents a novel approach leveraging AI-driven methodologies to identify a new malate ...
The accumulation of construction solid waste (CSW) leads to the waste of land resources and environmental pollution, becoming a significant social problem. Identifying the amount of high-value CSW is essential for assessing the value of accumulated C...
Global waste generation is projected to reach 3.40 billion tons by 2050, necessitating improved waste sorting for effective recycling and progress toward a circular economy. Achieving this transformation requires higher sorting intensity through inte...
This article presents a comparative analysis of the circularity and cost-efficiency of two distinct construction material recycling processes: ML-based automated sorting (MLAS) and conventional sorting technologies. Empirical data was collected from ...
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...
Suboptimal nutrition in organic waste limits the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, thereby reducing biowaste recycling efficiency. In this study, weight gain data from BSF larvae fed diets with distinct nutrient compositions were used to buil...
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...
Flexible plastic packaging (FPP) constitutes one of the largest post-consumer plastic streams processed in recycling facilities. To address the key challenges of its sorting and quality control, this study developed and tested a classification proced...
The rapid expansion of the electric vehicle industry has resulted in substantial production of NdFeB magnet wastes from discarded electromotors. These magnets, weighing up to 2 kg in each electromotor, contain 25-35 wt% of strategic rare earth elemen...
