| description | Here, we revise the recent advances for detoxifying asbestos-containing materials, including strategies for adding value to the byproducts over the past five years. This review is closely linked to several key Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Specifically, it focuses on Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), aiming for resilient and inclusive urban development. It also addresses Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), which promotes sustainable resource use and waste reduction. Additionally, the review explores Goal 15 (Life on Land), emphasizing the protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems. Through these interconnected goals, the review highlights the importance of sustainability in ensuring long-term environmental and societal health. A summary of the structural features of various asbestos-containing materials is presented, introducing the different approaches for safely managing asbestos waste, focusing on biological, thermal or hydrothermal, and chemical or mechanochemical treatments. Biological methods, including fermentation, organic acid use, and biofilm formation, are promising for asbestos degradation. Thermal treatments, especially high-temperature calcination, effectively deactivate asbestos fibers and convert them into valuable materials. Although less studied, mechanochemical techniques show potential for transforming asbestos into slow-release fertilizers and other useful products. Among the potential methods cited for treatment of asbestos-containing materials, our review demonstrates an increase in research focused on biological approaches, although it still requires applied studies on an industrial scale. |
