This project aims to establish a novel pathway for transforming complex waste otherwise destined for landfill into valuable products and resources. By leveraging high temperature reactions, the team plans to thermally isolate useful carbons and silica from within automotive shredder residue (ASR) in situ, to produce activated carbon products and silica layers, and so completely recycle this bulk toxic waste for the first time. Such innovative new pathways for separating out valuable materials from complex and toxic wastes offer industries an alternative low-cost and sustainable source of raw materials, while reducing pressures on landfills and finite natural resources.

该项目旨在建立一种新的途径，将原本要填埋的复杂废物转化为有价值的产品和资源。通过利用高温反应，该团队计划从汽车粉碎机残留物（ASR）中原位热分离有用的碳和二氧化硅，以生产活性炭产品和二氧化硅层，从而首次完全回收这种大量有毒废物。这种从复杂和有毒废物中分离出有价值材料的创新新途径为工业提供了一种替代的低成本和可持续的原材料来源，同时减少了对垃圾填埋场和有限自然资源的压力。
