Abstract

Background: The construction sector significantly contributes to global CO₂ emissions, primarily from Portland cement production, accounting for about 8% of total emissions. This study explores the environmental, economic, and social potential of industrial waste-based geopolymers as a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete, supporting the Net Zero Emission 2050 target. Methods: This research adopts a qualitative literature review approach, collecting and analyzing recent studies concerning the utilization of fly ash, slag, silica fume, and waste glass as binding precursors in geopolymer synthesis. Furthermore, a comparative analysis was conducted to assess the potential for CO₂ emission reduction and cost efficiency based on several implemented projects. Findings: The findings indicate that geopolymer concrete can reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 18%–64% and production costs by up to 30%, while maintaining comparable mechanical performance and durability to Portland cement-based concrete. Large-scale applications in several countries have demonstrated the material’s practical feasibility. From an environmental perspective, geopolymer technology substantially decreases embodied carbon; economically, it lowers maintenance expenses; and socially, it promotes green employment opportunities and enhances public awareness of sustainable construction practices. Nevertheless, the lack of standardized regulations and limited policy support remain key barriers to its broader implementation. Conclusion: Geopolymer technology demonstrates significant potential in achieving sustainable and low-carbon construction, thereby contributing to the realization of the Net Zero Emission 2050 goal. Novelty/originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive integration of various industrial waste materials to holistically assess their environmental, economic, and social benefits as a unified approach toward sustainable construction.

Abstract

Background: The use of wet scrubbers and dry scrubbers in incinerators using activated carbon and zeolite adsorbents is applied to control SO₂ emissions, serving as environmentally friendly waste processing tools. Methods: The principle of this test is that the exhaust gas from burning plastic waste with an incinerator is washed in a wet scrubber using water. Any remaining gas emissions are absorbed by zeolite and activated carbon through a dry scrubber. Testing of SO₂ exhaust gas emission concentrations is carried out on the incinerator, wet scrubber, and final chimney. Findings: The SO₂ exhaust gas concentration in incinerator combustion was 0.9685 mg/Nm³, the concentration after scrubbing using a wet scrubber was 0.1389 mg/Nm³, and the concentration after scrubbing using a wet scrubber and dry scrubber was 0 mg/Nm³. Conclusion: The use of a wet scrubber is effective in reducing SO₂ exhaust gas emission concentrations. The use of a dry scrubber is also effective in further reducing SO₂ exhaust gas emissions to zero. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the combined application of wet and dry scrubbers with activated carbon and zeolite to achieve complete elimination of SO₂ emissions from plastic waste incineration, demonstrating a practical environmentally friendly approach.

Abstract

Background: The rapid expansion of global renewable energy capacity resulted in a significant increase in crystalline-silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) panel installations, which are projected to generate up to 78 million tonnes of end-of-life (EoL) waste by 2050. Existing recycling methods, including pyrolysis, mechanical shredding, and organic solvent dissolution, are often associated with high energy demands, toxic emissions, and the risk of damaging valuable solar cells. This study aims to present TeraCale, an innovative recycling system that integrates laser irradiation and chemical etching with Internet of Things (IoT) automation to deliver a sustainable and economically viable solution for c-Si panel waste. Methods: This study is formulating the idea of innovation by collecting and analyzing the data from various journals. The methodology comprises a three-stage treatment process, such as initial hydraulic dismantling of frames using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for real-time monitoring; subsequent separation of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and glass layers using nanosecond and pulsed optical fiber lasers; and chemical etching with NaOH, HNO₃, and H₃PO₄ to recover high-purity metals. Findings: The study indicates that this integrated approach can achieve a silicon yield of 99.9984% and generate a total recycling profit of approximately 185.43 USD per kilogram of solar cells. The results demonstrate that automating the separation process significantly reduces manual labor and environmental risks while maximizing material recovery value. Conclusion: TeraCale constitutes a critical advancement in circular economy practices for the solar industry, effectively supporting Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 12. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this work is demonstrated by the unique combination of selective laser debonding and IoT-driven automation, providing a high-precision alternative to conventional destructive recycling techniques.
