Personal profile
I am an environmental engineer with research experience in the development of solid waste separation technologies and plastic recycling. The rationale of my research is to apply mineral process techniques in the solid waste recycling process to concentrate or separate valuable fractions at the earlier stage with physical approaches to improve the environmental performance of recovery process. Previous research projects includes pneumatic separation and vertical vibratory separation for metal recovery from shredded WEEE, attrition scrubbing for de-contamination of cast sand, density based separation of plastic pellets and flakes. My recent work extend to plastic recycling including marine plastic recycling and exploit the application of shredded waste wind turbine blades as reinforcement filler in composite product.
