Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for converting plastic waste into carbon pigment. Received polymer material such as plastic waste is degraded at 350-600° C. to form carbon-rich liquid and non-condensable syngas, and the carbon-rich liquid is then pyrolyzed at 1100-2200° C. to form carbon nanoparticles that may be used as carbon pigment. The syngas and possibly some of the form carbon-rich liquid may be used to provide heat to the system.
Abstract: The present description relates to activated carbon and methods of making and using the same. The activated carbon is produced from textile and plastic waste materials. The activated carbon may further include graphitic fibers, carbon fibers, CNTs, metals and metal oxides dispersed in the activated carbon matrix. The activated carbon can be in the form of granular manufactures, powder manufactures, nanoparticles, sheets and any other form.
Abstract: This description concerns a process of converting textile solid waste into a graphite manufacture and makes it possible both to reduce or totally eliminate the use of virgin textile materials for graphitization and to prepare graphite manufacture, such as simple articles (e.g., fibers, powder, foil, sheets, etc.) and complex shape articles (e.g., blocks, plates, rings, pipes, armors, etc.). Described is a sustainable textile solid waste material management process.
