Upcycling Space Structures (Preface to special issue)

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

The construction industry’s contribution to the deterioration of Earth’s ecosystem is huge. 11% of all anthropic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are due to the construction, demolition, and transformation of buildings and infrastructure. Construction an ...

Multi-scale investigation on mechanical behavior and microstructural alteration of C-S-H in carbonated Alite paste

Karen Scrivener

Carbonation treatment is a promising option to enhance recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) quality and eventually improve concrete performance. This study investigated the multi-scale mechanical properties of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in a mature ali ...

Waste collection inventory routing with non-stationary stochastic demands

Michel Bierlaire, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Sacha Varone, Iliya Dimitrov Markov

We solve a rich routing problem inspired from practice, in which a heterogeneous fixed fleet is used for collecting recyclable waste from large containers over a finite planning horizon. Each container is equipped with a sensor that communicates its level ...

Upcycling of printed plastic films: LCA analysis and effects on the circular economy

Dimitrios Kyritsis

In this work, the environmental impacts caused by an innovative upcycling process of printed plastic scrap have been assessed through Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology for the first time. The process consists of removing the inks from the plastic surfa ...

Comparison of environmental assessment methods when reusing building components: a case study

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Endrit Hoxha, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

The building industry is responsible for 35% of all solid waste in Europe and more than a third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To address this, applying circular economy principles to the building sector is crucial, for example by reusing building elem ...

Linking transformations of organic carbon to post-treatment performance in a biological water recycling system

Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé

Ozone, electrolysis and granular activated carbon (GAC) were examined as potential post-treatments to followa household-scale biologically activated membrane bioreactor (BAMBi), treating a wash water containing trace urine and feces contamination. Each pos ...

Cu–Al Spinel as a Highly Active and Stable Catalyst for the Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction

Ursula Röthlisberger, Jeremy Luterbacher, Oliver Kröcher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Christophe Jean Baranowski, Murat Kiliç

The reverse water gas shift reaction is considered to be a highly attractive catalytic route for CO2 recycling in a future sustainable economy. Copperbased catalysts are commonly used for this reaction due to their high activity and selectivity. However, t ...

Passive diamagnetic contactless suspension rotor with electrostatic glass motor

Hannes Bleuler

In this work, we introduce a newly developed passive and frictionless diamagnetic contactless suspension rotor with electrostatic glass motor. A 20 mm diameter disc-shaped rotor comprised of pyrolytic graphite with glass is fabricated. The rotor is diamagn ...

Non-contact femtosecond laser-based methods for investigating glass mechanics at small scales

Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

With the progress made in miniaturizing systems over the last decades, understanding materialsâ behavior at small scales has become a necessity. In this context, glass behavior has remained largely unknown, partly for technological reasons and partly due ...

Valuing waste as resource: Mechanisms of change in developed and developing countries

Rémi Jaligot

The total municipal solid waste (MSW) generated worldwide in 2012 was approximately 1.3 billion tonnes. Were all countries to continue to generate waste at the current rate of high-income countries, total waste generation could reach 5.9 billion tonnes by ...
