Abstract

COVID-19 causes a large increase in medical and non-medical waste in the world, especially in developing countries. Improper waste management causes significant health problems and impacts on the environment. Pyrolysis is a process that utilizes thermal instability of organic components in waste to convert them into liquid (oil), solid (charcoal), gas and wax products that have potential as fuels. Co-pyrolysis of medical face masks as infectious medical waste with non-infectious medical waste such as food waste, garden waste and paper were investigated for energy valorization. Particles, temperature, nitrogen flow rate and waste characterization affected the resulting product. Pyrolysis was carried out at 400 °C with nitrogen (N2) flow rate of 0.5 L/min. Co-pyrolysis of face masks and food waste produced oil with the highest yield because food waste contains dominant amount of cellulose and hemicellulose promoting high oil yield. This pyrolysis method is considered a simple, clean, safe and effective technique to reduce the amount of waste during a global pandemic.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has badly impacted many sectors, particularly medical waste generation in healthcare facilities. The increasing amount of medical waste poses a serious threat to health and environmental sustainability. Traditional waste processing (burning) cannot be used for B3 medical waste and is often mixed with non-B3 medical waste. This is because it potentially generates dangerous chemicals emitted into the atmosphere. Meanwhile, pyrolysis as a superior thermochemical technology is an effective solution for treating both B3 medical waste and non-B3 medical waste. The waste used in this study has good characteristics, as indicated by the low water and high fixed carbon content. The pyrolysis process yields products with economic value, such as solid, liquid, and gas products. Therefore, this study aims to determine the levels of products that can be produced from B3 and non-B3 medical waste. The results showed that rubber bands produce the highest proportion of liquid products at 44%, the highest solid products were obtained from LDPE plastic waste with a proportion of 65%, while the highest gas product was produced by mask waste at 45%. Based on the results, waste with high product yields can be used as an alternative energy source, such as gasoline, LPG, briquettes, and battery-based materials.

Abstract

Dynamic braking performance is well understood in conventional vehicles, but its characteristics in ultra-lightweight, energy-efficient prototype vehicles remain poorly documented, despite their growing role in energy efficiency competitions and urban mobility concepts. This study experimentally investigated stop braking performance under varying vehicle speeds and masses in a low-mass prototype vehicle (V1.0). Tests were conducted at four speed levels (10, 20, 30, and 40 km/h) and two mass configurations (135 kg and 165 kg), with each scenario repeated five times on a flat 100 m track. With an increase in speed from 30 to 40 km/h, the 135-kg configuration showed increases in braking distance of 11.14 m (133%), braking time of 1.92 s (47%), and disc pad temperature of 0.66 °C (1.5%). The 165-kg configuration showed corresponding increases of 14.21 m (152%), 3.02 s (75%), and 1.40 °C (3.3%). Across the full test range, increasing speed from 10 km/h to 40 km/h for the 135-kg configuration increased braking distance from 1.78 m to 19.5 m (+995%) and braking time from 1.63 s to 5.04 s (+209%). Increasing mass from 135 kg to 165 kg at 30 km/h increased braking distance by 0.97 m (11.6%) and braking time by 0.59 s (17.3%). Disc pad temperatures remained within a safe range, rising only from 41.1 °C to 42.5 °C (+3.4%) across the tested speeds. These quantitative findings provide critical data for optimizing braking system design in lightweight, energy-efficient prototypes, ensuring operational safety under various load and speed conditions.

Abstract

Limbah pabrik tahu di Desa Tanah Merah, Kecamatan Siak Hulu, Kabupaten Kampar, Provinsi Riau, dapat menjadi masalah lingkungan yang signifikan. Limbah ini terutama terdiri dari panas buang yang dihasilkan selama proses produksi tahu menggunakan tungku gasifikasi. Namun, panas buang ini biasanya tidak dimanfaatkan secara efisien dan hanya terbuang sia-sia. Oleh karena itu, perlu dicari solusi yang ramah lingkungan dan berkelanjutan untuk memanfaatkan panas buang ini. Dalam penelitian ini, kami mengusulkan pemanfaatan panas buang tungku gasifikasi pabrik tahu menggunakan modul termoelektrik. Modul termoelektrik adalah perangkat yang dapat mengubah perbedaan suhu menjadi energi listrik. Dalam konteks ini, panas buang dari tungku gasifikasi akan digunakan untuk menghasilkan suhu tinggi pada satu sisi modul termoelektrik, sedangkan suhu lingkungan akan berfungsi sebagai suhu rendah pada sisi lainnya. Perbedaan suhu ini akan menciptakan gradien suhu yang akan menghasilkan potensi listrik melalui efek Seebeck dalam modul termoelektrik. Dengan menerapkan sistem ini, panas buang dari tungku gasifikasi dapat diubah menjadi energi listrik yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan listrik pabrik tahu. Selain itu, ini juga akan membantu mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca dan dampak negatif lainnya terhadap lingkungan. Dengan memanfaatkan energi panas yang sebelumnya terbuang sia-sia, pabrik tahu dapat mengurangi penggunaan energi konvensional dan meminimalkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Penelitian lebih lanjut dan implementasi praktis perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan kelayakan dan efektivitas pemanfaatan panas buang ini dalam skala yang lebih besar.
