Recently, the 1st International Symposium on the Sustainable Processing of Carbon Waste was held at Monash University, Australia. Huang Changhong, a student from ICARE, participated in the conference and delivered an academic presentation entitled Emission and Corrosion Characteristics of Fine PM from Typical Components of MSW.
Huang Changhong, a student from ICARE, actively participated in the international conference by delivering an academic presentation titled Emission and Corrosion Characteristics of Fine PM from Typical Components of MSW. During the presentation, Huang shared research findings on the behavior and impact of fine particulate matter generated from the combustion of various components of municipal solid waste (MSW). The work contributed to the academic discussion by providing valuable insights into emissions and corrosion related to MSW management.
Through experimental simulation and mechanism analysis, the study systematically revealed the formation mechanisms of fine particulate matter (PM) generated during the combustion of typical municipal solid waste (MSW) components—including kitchen waste, paper, plastics, and garden waste—as well as their high-temperature corrosion behavior on stainless-steel materials.
The symposium took place at the Clayton Campus of Monash University from December 3 to 5, 2025. It aimed to provide an international platform for academic exchange on the resource utilization and sustainable treatment of carbon waste, with a particular focus on high-value utilization pathways for carbon-based waste streams such as plastics, agricultural and forestry biomass residues, and waste tires, in support of the global transition toward a circular economy.
Conference themes covered a broad range of topics, including thermochemical and catalytic conversion, chemical recycling catalysis and mechanisms, reaction kinetics and process simulation, high-value products and applications, policy, economic and environmental impact assessment, as well as digital-twin- and AI-driven process and materials design.
