A method of separating constituent layers from a paper-plastic laminate material includes disposing a sheet of a paper-plastic laminate material on a first surface. The paper-plastic laminate material includes a paper layer on a first side and a plastic layer on a second side. The method also includes moving an abrasive second surface over the paper layer on the first side to contact the paper layer and separate portions of the paper layer from the plastic layer. The method further includes collecting the separated portions of the paper layer and providing the separated portions of the paper layer as input to a paper recycling process, and collecting the plastic layer and providing the plastic layer as input to a plastic recycling process. The method may help increase recycling rates of paper and plastic, reduce raw material harvesting, reduce pollution and habitat destruction, and improve the quality of recycled material.

Clean, safe, and efficient methods, systems, and processes for utilizing thermolysis methods to processes to convert various waste sources into a Clean Fuel Gas, Char, and Biochar are provided. The process further converts the Clean Fuel Gas into both a purified hydrogen source for green ammonia production and natural gas. The methods process waste sources to effectively separate, neutralize and/or destroy halogens and other hazardous components to provide a Clean Fuel Gas, Char and/or Biochar, which can then further be processed to extract and purify hydrogen for green ammonia production from the Clean Fuel Gas and thereby provide natural gas. The Clean Fuel Gas is a natural and renewable natural gas as it is continually produced and further available for use to provide energy and new products.

The disclosure relates to the field of solid biofuels obtained by steam cracking. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a process for the treatment of lignocellulosic biomass by steam cracking in which the obtained powder is treated in order to separate the particles into two categories according to a threshold value, and each category is treated differently.

A disposal method for waste fabric containing polyester and nylon includes: step (a): providing a waste fabric containing polyester and nylon; step (b): performing a first-stage treatment including acid treatment on the material to obtain a first liquid material and a first solid material; step (c): performing a second-stage treatment on the first liquid material to obtain a second liquid material and a second solid material; step (d): performing a third-stage treatment including acid treatment on the first solid material to obtain a third liquid material and a third solid material; step (e): performing a fourth-stage treatment on the third liquid material to obtain a fourth liquid material and a fourth solid material, wherein the acid concentration of the second liquid material is lower than the acid concentration of the first liquid material, and the acid concentration of the fourth liquid material is lower than the acid concentration of the third liquid material.

The present invention provides systems and methods for the recycling of animal bedding and the disposal or reuse of manure, feces, urine or expectorant resulting from recycling animal bedding. The present invention provides systems and methods for the disposal of materials related to the recycling or repurposing of stall residual waste and/or soiled animal bedding which is environmentally conscious to aquifers, and further limiting off gassing of enteric methane and other gasses. Use of such methods create a healthier recycled bedding than existing new bedding materials. The reusable and clean animal bedding provides for a healthy, hygienic, sanitary and enhanced stall environment. The present invention further provides methods for infusing additives, enhancements or amendments to recycled animal bedding which promote the health and safety of the animals using the recycled animal bedding (or the humans in contact with the animal bedding or animals) and/or the barn environment.

A horizontal reactor equipped with a front cover and including a circular cylindrical rotating cage having multiple openings and rotated about a horizontal axis by a motor, a single horizontal rotary shaft mechanically connecting the rotating cage to the motor and extending towards the outside from the distal face of the housing, at least one bearing provided around the rotary shaft to hold it and guide it, and to support the weight of the rotating cage in cantilever, at least one removable basket having multiple openings and intended to be able to be introduced inside the rotating cage and to be removed through an open circular face of the rotating cage provided opposite the cover.
