Abstract The co-hydrothermal carbonization of biomasses has shown many advantages on charcoal yield, carbonization degree, thermal-stability of hydrocar and energy recovered. The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of co-combustion of cattle manure and sawdust on energy recovered. The results show that ash content ranged between 10.38%–20.00%, indicating that the proportion of each variable influences energy recovered. The optimum is obtained at 51% cattle manure and 49% sawdust revealing 37% thermal efficiency and 3.9 kW fire power. These values are higher compared to cattle manure individually which gives values of 30% and 2.3 kW respectively for thermal efficiency and fire power. Thus, the mixture of biomasses enhances energy recovered both in combustion and hydrothermal carbonization. Volatile matter is lower in mixture predicting that the flue gas releases is lower during combustion. Fixed carbon is higher in mixture predicting that energy recovered increases during the combustion of mixture than cattle manure individually. Higher Carbon content was noticed in mixture than cattle manure indicating that the incorporation of sawdust enhances heating value. The incorporation of sawdust in cattle manure can also enhance energy recovered and is more suitable for domestic and industrial application.

Abstract The management and disposal of battery waste, particularly lead-acid batteries, present numerous challenges that must be addressed to ensure environmental protection, public health, and sustainable resource management. This thesis examines the multifaceted nature of these challenges and explores potential solutions for sustainable battery management. Drawing on insights from prior research, field observations, stakeholder interviews, and literature reviews, the study synthesizes existing knowledge to inform strategies for mitigating the environmental, safety, and economic impacts associated with battery waste. The current scenario on battery waste management highlights significant challenges, including environmental pollution, health risks, safety hazards, recycling challenges, regulatory compliance issues, technological limitations, infrastructure constraints, and the need for public awareness and education. Countermeasures to address these challenges encompass regulatory interventions, technological innovations, infrastructure development, capacity building, and public engagement initiatives. By integrating findings from diverse sources, this thesis aims to contribute to the existing knowledge base on battery waste management and propel strategies for sustainable resource management.

Abstract The mechanism is investigated for DBU-catalyzed intramolecular azo annulation of N-tosylhydrazone and I 2 ‑catalyzed cycloaddition of phenyl tosyl hydrazone with N-phenylbenzamidine. The former contains rate-limiting α-elimination of tosylate facilitated by DBU affording amphiphilic nitrene and intramolecular, 5-endo-trig cyclization forming [1,2,3]-triazoloheteroarene. This method is also applicable for other nonpyridine heteroarene based on enhanced activity of DBU. The latter is composed of eight steps including activation of hydrazone mediated by I 2 , nucleophilic addition of amidine, intramolecular electron transfer via two times of proton transfer, intramolecular nucleophilic attack followed by third proton transfer achieving ring closure and final reductive elimination of HI, TsNH 2 yielding 3,4,5-trisubstituted [1,2,4]-triazole. The rate-limiting step is intramolecular electron transfer under I 2 catalysis. The positive solvation effect is suggested by decreased absolute and activation energies in solution compared with in gas. These results are supported by Multiwfn analysis on FMO composition of specific TSs, and MBO value of vital bonding, breaking.
