Waste Recycling Technologies for Nanomaterials Manufacturing

Part of the book series: Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering ((TMMME))

Abstract

The effect of waste accumulation can be enormously violent for several societies in developing countries. In the overworld, this problem becomes more difficult as there are no obvious specific strategies for actual solid waste management that causes severe environmental hazards. This chapter discusses the recent advances of wastes recycling environmentally friendly technologies to provide economic value toward reducing the high cost and additional ways for nanomaterial production in the petroleum field. It shows how carbon nanostructures can be formed from different waste materials such as waste natural oil, plastic wastes, heavy oil residue, waste engine oil, deoiled asphalt, and scrap tire that have the potential to cause incredible environmental damage in the form of water, air, and land pollution. Particular sorts of this wastes can be reused. However, most of them are left in landfill sites; waste recycling approach has a tremendous economic value besides to their environmental impact: for example, waste reduction, resource conservation, energy conservation, reduction gas emissions from the greenhouse, and reducing the extent of pollution in air and water sources. The chapter is consisting of three parts. Part one is describing carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes, fibers, porous carbon, and microspheres that can be produced from different waste materials. The second part deals with a review of waste materials in the petroleum field that has the probable to cause incredible environmental damage in the form of water, air, and land pollution. Finally, the third part will discuss the multidisciplinary green approach toward the acquisition of high-value carbon-based nanomaterials as a natural precursor by using waste materials.
