A key environmental and technological problem for coal-fired generation in the Russian Federation is the overfilling of existing ash disposal sites. The total volume of accumulated solid coal combustion waste has reached 2 billion tons. It is important to emphasize that this figure reflects only the accumulated "legacy burden" and is not a fixed value: the industry generates about 20 million tons of new waste annually. Consequently, the actual mass of this waste requiring disposal or processing is steadily increas...

Among the existing methods of TMS processing, the most attention is paid to pyrolysis due to such advantages of this method as a high level of process control, the ability to adapt the process to a different composition of raw materials with a high yield of target products with specified characteristics, a closed-loop process, etc. [1, 2]. The study is devoted to the study of the process of co-pyrolysis and is aimed at developing a technology for thermocatalytic processing of complex organic waste of anthropogenic...

Modern architecture and materials science are searching for new materials that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. These materials ensure a high quality of life and high energy efficiency in buildings. In addition to operational characteristics, the technological aspects of their production are important. This includes high mold turnover, ease of material fabrication, and the cost of obtaining them. These requirements can be met through the use of additive manufacturing for the production of buildings an...

With the rapid growth of polymer consumption, the issue of efficient recycling and disposal of plastic waste is becoming increasingly pressing. One promising approach is thermal degradation (pyrolysis), which yields valuable hydrocarbon products [1]. Of particular interest is the recycling of polyethylene with increased thermal stability (PE-RT) with the addition of octylene-1. This material combines thermal stability, mechanical strength, flexibility, chemical resistance, and processability, making it a highly ef...

As part of this study, a comprehensive thermogravimetric analysis of biomass oxidation was conducted to study its thermal decomposition and determine its kinetic characteristics in an oxidative environment. This work is of great importance for the development of sustainable energy, the optimization of combustion and co-combustion processes, and the minimization of environmental damage through more efficient use of biomass. The experiments involved measuring the mass change of biomass samples (sawdust from hardwood...
