A series of novel carbon nanofibers (CNFs) supported bimetallic copper/zirconia catalysts are synthesized by deposition precipitation method and calcined at different temperatures. Calcined catalysts are characterized by various techniques like X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, N2O chemisorption, high resolu... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

Plastics are essential in our economy and everyday life. However, plastic pollution is a global concern. To address this issue, the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy was adopted in January 2018. Attention has been raised to the entire life cycle of products, with legislation stating that plastic used... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

Several are the challenges related to plastic waste, spanning from littering, high collection costs, and low recycling rates. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is considered a key initiative to tackle some of these issues. To evaluate EPR role and effectiveness, 40 management scenarios focused on plastic packaging... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

By using the cotton stalk as the feedstock, a polygeneration system for generating methanol and power with solar thermal gasification of biomass is proposed in this work. The endothermic reaction of biomass gasification is driven by the high temperature solar thermal energy with the range of 800∼1200°C. The flat-plate ... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

This study aims to develop two economically viable processes with high thermodynamic efficiency for the cogeneration of methanol and electricity from coke oven gas and blast furnace gas. In process A, syngas is obtained from coke oven gas reforming, and blast furnace gas, after providing the required heat for the refor... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

Bioplastics have been used as alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics to lessen the burdens on marine and terrestrial environments due to their non-biodegradability and toxicity. However, recent studies have shown that not all bioplastics may be environmentally friendly. Microalgae, such as Spirulina that... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

An integrated system for converting carbon dioxide to methanol is proposed, and four of its main components (carbon capture absorber, carbon capture stripper, photoreactor, and methanol synthesis reactor) are analyzed thermodynamically, focusing on exergy destruction. The carbon capture unit provides carbon dioxide ext... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

Due to the great concern about plastic marine pollution, the demand for glass packaging has significantly increased since many people consider it more sustainable than plastic or multilayer packaging. However, evaluating the environmental impacts that occur in all life cycle phases (production, distribution, use and en... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

We have demonstrated a new and simple methodology to quantify the amount of metallic Ni present in the mixed nickel hydroxide/nickel surface using galvanic replacement reaction. This method was also used to manipulate the formation of nanocomposite, NiPd on Ni(OH)2 support by controlling the extent of galvanic replacem... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:

The main purpose of this study was first to estimate the carbon footprint (CF) of packaged fluid milk through life cycle assessment (LCA), using regional data in Tehran, and then to identify opportunities for lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The system boundary for cradle to gate assessment was divided into three ... | Categorize the text article into one of the two categories:
