Taiwan's Economic Daily compiled a report that a Japanese waste recycling company has developed a technology that can be used to generate electricity from wastewater generated by the diaper recycling process. This breakthrough helped the company establish a complete recycling system.
According to Japanese media reports, the company said the technology to improve the energy efficiency of diaper recycling is ozone treatment, which is to recover the generated waste water to generate electricity to drive the rest of the system.
The company uses microbial fuel cells to generate electricity from wastewaters, and the system not only generates electricity, but also purifies wastewater as the bacteria break down the organic matter in the wastewater and the purified water can be reused to break down other diapers. Test the system a few years later formally launched.
Establishing an effective recycling system is a big challenge for diaper manufacturers, but the company overcame major obstacles in 2015 by successfully creating a recovery system that extracts high quality pulp from waste diapers ranging from 4 tons Abandoned diapers extract hundreds of kilograms of pulp, but also reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from incineration by 30%.
