This research investigated the pyrolysis process for plastic waste treatment using induction heating. The induction system involved a coil wrapped around insulated material to generate heat. The plastic waste was sourced from the Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) sorting process from a 15-year-old landfill in the province of Nonthaburi, Thailand. The pyrolysis was performed at temperatures ranging from 400 to 600°C with a batch reactor. The highest yield of pyrolysis oil was 27.6% wt. at 600°C. Energy consumption for converting plastic waste into oil ranged between 9.50 and 13.36 kWh, with the highest consumption at 600 °C. The produced pyrolysis oil at 600°C achieved the highest HHV of 41.33 MJ/kg. The GC/MS analysis of the pyrolysis oil revealed an increase in aromatic and hydrocarbons (C5-C11 and C12-C20) with rising temperature. These carbon fractions are suitable replacements for heavy oil or diesel fuel, as low-oxygenated compounds, and hydrocarbon content in pyrolysis oil are desirable. The amount of char produced at 400°C was the highest, with a yield that ranged from 45.2% wt. to 67.0% wt. Moreover, the pyrolysis process has a significant advantage in lowering greenhouse gas emissions (0.21–0.25% vol.), which releases less CO2 than the combustion of plastic waste. The findings therefore suggest that pyrolysis oil, which is produced under optimum conditions, can be used as a substitute liquid fuel in the industrial sector, and is consistent with the circular economy's concepts, promoting sustainability and utilizing resource efficiency.

This research aimed to investigate the possibility of synthesizing a bio-based plasticizer from waste cooking oil using an epoxidation reaction to replace dioctyl phthalate (DOP) in PVC film, which is toxic and hazardous to human health and the environment. This involved synthesizing used household oil through an epoxidation reaction to introduce epoxy groups, followed by isopropyl alcohol to break the epoxy rings and form hydroxyl groups. The chemical structure of the epoxidized waste cooking oil plasticizer was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), with a focus on confirming the presence of epoxy groups within the 3,500 – 3,000 cm-1 range. Subsequently, this bio-based plasticizer was used in various ratios to DOP to produce PVC films, including ratios of 5:0, 4:1, 3:2, 2:3, 1:4, and 0:5. These PVC films were subject to a comprehensive examination of their physical and chemical properties, including their resistance to tensile stress, elongation ability, the impact on molecular functional groups in the PVC film, and a leaching test. The results showed that the optimal proportion of epoxidized waste cooking oil plasticizer to DOP was 5:0. This ratio demonstrated superior tensile strength, enhanced elongation capacity, increased thermal stability, and exhibited the most robust resistance against solvents compared to other ratios tested.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of organic and chemical organic fertilizers on the translocation of cadmium in crude oil-contaminated soil treated with potassium hydroxide-modified biochar (KOH-biochar). The soil sample was collected from Chonburi Province. The soil was characterized as moderately acidic sandy loam with relatively low organic matter, medium salinity, medium cation exchange capacity, and high nutrient levels. The concentration of cadmium in the soil fell within the acceptable range for agricultural use. The KOH-biochar exhibited strong alkalinity, a high carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, and an oxygen/carbon (O/C) ratio. Crude oil was slightly acidic, with high organic matter content and low sulfur and cadmium concentrations. The synthetic soil created in this study composed of 5% crude oil, and 100 mg/kg of cadmium. KOH-biochar, organic and chemical organic fertilizers were applied to this synthetic soil. Subsequently, the soil was subjected to extraction with 0.005 M diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA), and a sequential extraction method was employed to determine six different forms of cadmium in the soil samples. Cadmium concentrations in the extracts were measured using a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The findings revealed that fertilizers effectively slowed down the movement of cadmium. Fertilizer application led to the transformation of cadmium from unstable forms to more stable forms within the soil. Fertilizer with the highest organic matter content and pH showed the least cadmium mobility. Increased nitrogen and phosphorus content in the fertilizer resulted in slightly higher cadmium mobility within the soil. Conversely, higher potassium content in the fertilizer led to slightly reduced cadmium mobility in the soil.

The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of ten different fertilizers on the mobility of lead in soils that had been treated with biochar. The soil used in this study was collected from Chanthaburi Province. To simulate the experimental conditions, this soil was artificially enriched with 550 mg/kg of lead. The synthetic soil was prepared by mixing it with 10% biochar and 0.04% of various chemical fertilizers. To assess the bioavailability of lead in the soil to plants, an extraction process using diethylenetriamine pentaacetate was performed. This allowed researchers to determine how these fertilizers affected the movement and availability of lead in the soil for plant uptake. In the study, it was observed that among the fertilizers tested, urea was the only one that increased the bioavailability of lead in the soil, making it more accessible to plants. Sequential extraction techniques were employed to analyze six different forms of lead in the soil. Interestingly, all fertilizers, except for urea, caused a transformation of lead from less stable forms to more stable forms in the soil. To further investigate the relationship between fertilizer variables and heavy metal uptake, a stepwise linear regression analysis was applied. The results indicated that the mobility of lead in the soil was primarily influenced by the nitrogen content, potassium levels, and sulfate ion concentration in the fertilizers.

The focus of this study was to explore how various fertilizers influence the movement of cadmium in soil treated with biochar. The research utilized a strong acid sandy loam soil from Chanthaburi Province, naturally rich in organic matter with moderate cation exchange capacity and low nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, sulfate, salinity and chloride levels. The soil was purposely contaminated with 50 mgkg-1 of cadmium and treated with biochar derived from water hyacinth through pyrolysis at 450°C for an hour. This biochar displayed moderate alkalinity, high organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, and cation exchange capacity, but low nitrogen content. Analytical techniques like Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy were employed to study the surface characteristics of the biochar. The cadmium adding soil was blended with 10% biochar and various chemical fertilizers at a 0.04% ratio. Diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA) extraction was used to assess the bioavailability of cadmium to plants in the soil, while sequential extraction was conducted to identify the different forms of cadmium present in the soil. The study revealed distinct effects of different fertilizers on cadmium mobility. Fertilizers like 46-0-0 and 0-3-0 caused a transformation of cadmium from stable to less stable forms, increasing the bioavailability of cadmium to plants. Conversely, fertilizers such as 15-15-15, 0-0-50, 0-0-60, and 0-52-34 shifted cadmium from less stable to more stable forms, resulting in decreased cadmium extracted by DTPA. Other fertilizers showed no significant impact on cadmium mobility in the soil. A stepwise linear regression analysis highlighted that nitrogen content, potassium content, and electrical conductivity were influential factors affecting cadmium mobility.

This research was aimed at recycling agricultural waste and treating synthetic automobile service station wastewater. Wastewater was synthesized to two levels of COD concentration: 702 mg/L (WW-A) and 7,054 mg/L (WW-B). In the treatment process, 100 mM sodium peroxydisulfate with MnO<inf>x</inf>-loaded biochar (MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar) was applied. The MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar was produced by dipping corn cob biochar in 40 mM manganese sulfate followed by pyrolyzed at 600°C. The surface area, pore volume, pore size, and pH value at the zero-point charge of MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar were 130 m2/g, 0.044 cm3/g, 1.02 nm, and 7.05, respectively. From the FTIR spectrogram, a peak assignable to Mn-O was observed. The results showed that the initial pH of the wastewater did not affect the treatment efficiency. The optimum MnO<inf>x</inf>-Biochar dosage was 2 g/L. Equilibrium was reached within 120 min of reaction. During the first 15 min, the treatment rate constants (k) of the WW-A and WW-B treatment were 0.0647 min-1 and 0.0349 min-1, respectively. After 15 min, the k values of the WW-A and WW-B treatments were reduced to 0.0242 min-1 and 0.0094 min-1, respectively. The overall treatment efficiencies of the low COD wastewater (WW-A) and high COD wastewater (WW-B) were 97% and 78%, respectively. The treatment mechanisms involved both adsorption and oxidation. The adsorption efficiencies of the WW-A and WW-B treatments were 36% and 18%, respectively.

The pulp and paper industry wastewater discharge into public water, it will cause water pollution problems. In this research, lignin contaminated synthetic wastewater with a COD value of 2,401 mg/L, and color intensity of 5,432 ADMI was treated using 150 mM sodium peroxydisulfate in combination with MnO<inf>x</inf>-loaded biochar (MnO<inf>x</inf>-B). The MnO<inf>x</inf>-B was produced by pyrolyzing corn core at 400 °C for 4 hours without oxygen, then dipped in 40 mM manganese sulfate for 2 hours, and heated at 600°C for 30 min without oxygen. From the characterization of MnO<inf>x</inf>-B, the surface area, pore volume, pore size, and pH value at the zero-point charges of MnO<inf>x</inf>-B were 153 m2/g, 0.054 cm3/g, 1.11 nm, and 7.23, respectively. From the FTIR spectrogram, the peak assigned to Mn-O was observed. By applying 150 mM sodium peroxydisulfate and varying three parameters: MnO<inf>x</inf>-B dosage, initial wastewater pH, and reaction time, to treat lignin wastewater, the optimum experimental condition was obtained using 2 mg/L of MnO<inf>x</inf>-B, under pH of 8 for 45 min. The COD and color removal efficiencies were 73% and 90%, respectively. However, the quality of the treated wastewater did not yet pass the pulp and paper mills effluent standards of the Department of Industrial Works.

This research aimed to study the effect of biochar on the stability of Mn, Cd, and Pb in soil contaminated with diesel. The clay with pH 6.80, medium in organic matter (OM), high in cation exchange capacity (CEC), low in phosphate and salinity was from Bang Rong Subdistrict, Klong Khuen District, Chachoengsao Province (N13˚50’32.1252” E101˚ 9’5.6808”). The metal content is in the standard for use in agriculture. The soil sample was prepared to contain Mn, Pb, and Cd at 2,000 mg/kg, 550 mg/kg, and 50 mg/kg, respectively. The biochar from corncob was neutral, low in CEC, high in conductivity and OM. The surface area, pore-volume, pore radius, acid neutralization capability, and the pH at the point of zero charges (pHPZC) were 61.189 sq. m/g, 0.088 mL/g, 13.664 Angstrom, 1,000 meq/kg, and 6.80, respectively. Five percent of biochar was mixed to the soil containing 2% and 5% of diesel at room temperature for 2, 4, and 8 weeks before extraction with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and sequential extraction. The results indicated that the higher the amount of diesel in soil, the slower the metal movement. Biochar could retard the mobility of Mn, Pb, and Cd in the soil sample. Five percent of biochar was not enough to decrease the metal mobility in soil contaminated with diesel 5%. The amount of extracted heavy metals increased with the more extended mixing period. The addition of biochar to the soil sample could change metals from unstable to stable forms.

Heavy metal contamination in an environment is a critical problem in Thailand that needs to be addressed urgently, particularly contaminated soil. This research aims to study the adsorption of cadmium ion by unmodified biochar and sodium dodecyl sulfate modified magnetic biochar (SDS-MB) derived from Eichhornia Crassipes. The adsorbent and soil characteristics were determined. Observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the surface of unmodified biochar (B) was smoother than SDS-MB. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) pattern showed peaks for iron oxide. The values of point of zero charge (pH<inf>PZC</inf>) and acid neutralization capability (ANC) were 3 and 1000.3 meq/kg, respectively. The greatest adsorption of cadmium occurred when the pH of the wastewater was 8. The adsorption reached equilibrium within 1 h. It followed Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic. SDS-MB was mixed with sandy clay loam soil (pH 7.87) contaminated with cadmium 50 mg per kilogram soil at the ratio of 0-5%. The results from the extraction with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), ammonium acetate, calcium chloride, diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), and sequential extraction method indicated that 5% mixing ratio showed the best ability to reduce cadmium movement in the soil. Cadmium in a form that bound to oxide and a form that bound to organic matter significantly increased.

A heavy metal contamination problem in Thailand is an important issue that needs to be addressed urgently, particularly contaminated in water. Heavy metal contamination in water can spread to other environments faster. This research aims to apply chitosan-magnetic biochar synthesized from water hyacinth in order to solve the problem of copper and nickel contaminated in water. Data from SEM indicated that chitosan-magnetic biochar had a smoother surface and had smaller holes than the magnetic biochar. When tested with Autosorb-1, results indicated that the adsorbent with chitosan had a slightly lower porosity compared to without chitosan. Data from FTIR found evidence of chitosan on the adsorbent. According to the XRD study, peaks of iron oxide presented. The point of zero charges (pH<inf>PZC</inf>) of chitosan-magnetic biochar was 7.03. The adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics were observed. The adsorption of both Cu and Ni followed Langmuir isotherm. The value of q<inf>max</inf> for Cu was 38.4615 mg/g and for Ni was 0.4858 mg/g. The R2 value of Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm was also high. The E value of Cu and Ni was 0.316 kJ/mol and 1.8962 kJ/mol, respectively. The best-fitting kinetic model for Cu was the pseudo-second-order model and for Ni was the intra-particle diffusion. The adsorption was an endothermic process. The process was spontaneous at high temperatures and non-spontaneous at low temperatures.
