Single-step preparation of activated carbons from pine wood, olive stones and nutshells by KOH and microwaves: Influence of ultra-microporous for high CO2 capture (2024)
Journal Article
Duran-Jimenez, G., Rodriguez, J., Stevens, L., Altarawneh, S., Batchelor, A., Jiang, L., & Dodds, C. (2024). Single-step preparation of activated carbons from pine wood, olive stones and nutshells by KOH and microwaves: Influence of ultra-microporous for high CO2 capture. Chemical Engineering Journal, 499, Article 156135. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.156135

Biomass residues are crucial feedstocks for facing climate change challenges due to high-value products, such as producing activated carbons (AC) for carbon capture. Two stages of pyrolysis followed by activation at high temperatures are the most use...

Thermal degradation of polyvinyl chloride in the presence of lead oxide: A kinetic and mechanistic investigation (2024)
Journal Article
Altarawneh, S., Al-Harahsheh, M., Ali, L., Altarawneh, M., Ahmed, O. H., Buttress, A., Dodds, C., & Kingman, S. (2024). Thermal degradation of polyvinyl chloride in the presence of lead oxide: A kinetic and mechanistic investigation. Chemical Engineering Journal, 493, Article 152873. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.152873

The elimination of toxic heavy metals from metallurgical wastes before its recycling to steel furnaces is essential. Lead oxide (PbO) is a major toxic heavy metal present in electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). The co-recycling of EAFD with Polyvinyl ch...

Chlorine Fixing Ability of Electric Arc Furnace Dust During the Thermal Degradation of Polyvinyl Chloride under Oxidative Conditions (2023)
Journal Article
Al-Harahsheh, M., Altarawneh, S., Al-Omari, M., Altarawneh, M., Kingman, S., & Dodds, C. (2023). Chlorine Fixing Ability of Electric Arc Furnace Dust During the Thermal Degradation of Polyvinyl Chloride under Oxidative Conditions. Jordanian Journal of Engineering and Chemical Industries, 6(3), 39-46. https://doi.org/10.48103/jjeci672023

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are two hazardous wastes that are accumulated world-wide at an alarming rate. Utilising these two wastes simultaneously towards a sustainable recycling loop can greatly mitigate their envi...

Thermodynamic analysis on the thermal treatment of spent alkaline batteries-PVC blends under inert conditions (2023)
Journal Article
Al-Harahsheh, M., & Altarawneh, S. (2024). Thermodynamic analysis on the thermal treatment of spent alkaline batteries-PVC blends under inert conditions. Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 9, Article 100568. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscee.2023.100568

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Spent Alkaline Batteries (SAB) are produced and accumulated in large quantities. The absence of a sustainable recycling route for these wastes amidst a circular economy era makes it important to find a potential coupling...
