Turning Waste into Power through Hydrothermal Carbonization _ Description.
Have you ever thought about what happens to our wastewater? It heads to treatment plants, where it produces sludge. This sludge, after some processing magic, turns into a solid rich in water and organic matter called biosolid.
Australian treatment plants produce tons of biosolids every year, creating a disposal headache most end up in landfills or are burnt, causing environmental damage and high costs.
Turning biosolids into useful resources requires affordable and energy-efficient technology as they're wet and drying them is energy intensive.
In my PhD, I'm diving into Hydrothermal Carbonization, a technology ideal for turning wet biosolids into; commercially valuable products. Conducting lab experiments followed by a model will scale up this for industry, ultimately turning trash into cash and promoting a cleaner planet for future.
