Abstract
Karanja is a medium sized evergreen tree which has minor economic importance in India. The nonedible seed kernel contains 27–30% oil that is used for biodiesel production, leaving the remaining nonedible seed cake as a waste product. The aim of the present work was to obtain kinetic [...]Abstract
In the last decade, a great effort has been made to achieve a transition from the current linear economy to a circular economy. This transition also affects the composites sector, which, due to the intrinsic complexity of recycling, requires the implementation of recovery and remanufacturing [...]
Abstract
The use of biochar amendments in banana soils has inspired research with the aim of comparing the effects of a biochar obtained from cocoa pods on banana development. The work was carried out on two farms, one under an organic agriculture model (FO) and the other conventional (FC). [...]Abstract
The growing utilization of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) in industry involves the generation of high quantities of this kind of waste. This tendency has fomented the investigation of different alternatives to recycle CFRP waste with the aim of reclaiming the carbon fibers, [...]
Abstract
Due to the rapid growth in the use of composite materials, environmental concerns have become an increasingly influential topic, making recyclability of composite materials a key issue. Furthermore, several related European laws have been passed to minimize the environmental impact [...]
Abstract
Due to the rapid growth of the composite market, several European laws have emerged to minimize their environmental impact (EU 2000/53 / EC, End of life vehicles), as well as to make rational use of landfills (EU 1999/31 / EC). For example, in the aeronautical sector, composites [...]
