(154d) Conversion of Waste to Energy and Resource

Author

Chi-Hwa Wang - Presenter, National University of Singapore
Over the globe, sustainable waste management turns out to be a burning issue in view of global warming, food and water insecurity, and landfill crisis. Under the support by Singapore National Research Foundation through the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) framework, we favor resource, energy and environmental sustainability via Eco-Solutions. In this talk, I will review two recent CREATE studies to shed some light on the conversion of waste to energy and resource on the subjects of (1) upcycling plastic waste into multifunctional materials and (2) reaction synergy of bimetallic catalysts in tailoring plastic pyrolysis for hydrogen and value-added product production.

This talk is dedicated to Professor Sankaran Sundaresan in celebration of his 70th birthday, legacy impact to the chemical engineering and particle technology communities, and great mentorship to his Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows.
