This study is devoted to the Fenton reaction, which, despite hundreds of reports in a number scientific journals, provides opportunities for further investigation its use as method advanced oxidation organic macro- and micropollutants diverse variations hybrid systems. It transpires that, example, choice concentrations ratios basic chemical substances, i.e., hydrogen peroxide catalysts based on Fe2+ ion or other transition metals homogeneous heterogeneous arrangements reactions with various...
Sustainable agriculture is currently trendy. It supported not only for the urban environment but also as an innovation of conventional practices in order to increase efficiency and quality agricultural production. This study presents results achieved within selected soil-less (hydroponic aeroponic) systems. Then, it compares them, using tool comparative life cycle assessment (LCA), with soil cultivation. The attention directed towards biomass production content bioactive substances, which...
This study is focused on technology development for microplastic removal from wastewater using a sorption process, which would be suitable not only as tertiary stage of purification in treatment plants but also other waters, e.g., process water and surface water. Therefore, cheap natural materials such zeolites bentonites were tested possible sorbents. aims at sorbent selection their modification by special regime improving efficiency lifetime. Microplastic particles the majority common...
This review summarizes the current knowledge in field of preparing new and/or innovative materials that can be advantageously used for sorption emerging pollutants from water. paper highlights such as transition metal-modified biochar, zeolites, clays, carbon fibers, graphene, metal organic frameworks, and aerogels. These have great potential removal heavy metals water, particularly due to their large surface area, nanoscale size, availability various functionalities; moreover, they easily...
A complex treatment of agricultural waste including the following major steps: anaerobic fermentation suitable waste, cogeneration obtained biogas and growth microalgae consuming CO 2 from flue gas was verified under field conditions in a pilot-scale photobioreactor. The kinetics Chlorella sp. mixture air carbon dioxide (2% (v/v) ), or (8—10% ) investigated. results pilot photobioreactor were compared with previously measured laboratory photobioreactors. tests performed outdoor solar-bubbled...
The decomposition rate of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3·6H2O) was measured as weight loss at ambient pressure and elevated temperatures up to 270 °C. Such incomplete thermal produces a porous reactive basic [Al2O3·2HCl·2H2O or Al2(OH)4Cl2·H2O] which dissolves in water give poly(aluminum chloride) used an efficient flocculation agent. A slowly rising temperature method very small sample masses, minimize heat mass transfer intrusions, were employed determine intrinsic reaction rates....
The treatment and disposal of sewage sludge is one the most important critical problems wastewater plants. 8.7 million tonnes dry matter were produced annually in European Union year 2020. Due to fact that contains a large number substances are not beneficial for human health, conditions management will be significantly tightened EU countries. One option liquidation production biofuel form granules or pellets from enriched by waste celluloses. achieved results show resulting quality such...
Contamination of soils with heavy metals is a problem which has significant negative impact not only on the environment but also presence and quantity soil bacteria; basis healthy soil. Currently, new types biodegradable chelating agents could effectively wash from would replace used EDTA-based are being sought tested. However, it be advantageous to use waste materials in accordance circular bioeconomy. Therefore, hydrolysate prepared by thermal pressure hydrolysis chicken feather initiated...
