Waste Recycling Technologies for Nanomaterials Manufacturing

The book discusses recent advances in wastes recycling technologies to produce low-cost and alternative nanomaterials, including carbon nanomaterials from banana fibers, argan seed shells, corn grains, camellia oleifera shell, sugar cane bagasse, oil palm, and palm kernel shells. It also explores the recycling of spent batteries for nanostructured metal oxides and their applications in energy, water treatments, and other areas.

The book explores recent advances in wastes recycling technologies to provide low-cost and alternative ways for nanomaterials production. It highlights the synthesis of carbon nanomaterials from various waste sources, including banana fibers, argan seed shells, corn grains, camellia oleifera shell, sugar cane bagasse, oil palm empty fruit bunches and leaves, and palm kernel shells. Additionally, several nanostructured metal oxides (MnO2, Co3O4, etc.) can be synthesized via recycling of spent batteries. The recovered nanomaterials have numerous applications, including energy (supercapacitors, solar cells, etc.), water treatments (heavy metal ions and dyes removal), and other applications. Spent battery and agriculture waste are rich precursors for metals and carbon, respectively. The book also explores various recycling techniques, agriculture waste recycling, batteries recycling, and different applications of the recycled materials.
