The removal of anthracene from vehicle-wash wastewater (VWW) was investigated using adsorption employing biochar (EWB) generated eucalyptus wood waste. EWB characterized analytical techniques such as surface area analysis (SAA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). study determined that the most effective conditions to achieve maximum (98.40%) were follows: an initial concentration 40 ppm, a contact time 60 min, pH level 5, temperature 50 °C, adsorbent...

Smart cities, a new kind of urbanization, offer means achieving the condition in which environmental conservation and economic growth are mutually beneficial. As result, it is important to think about whether how development smart cities might support high-quality urban economies. Based on panel data 163 prefecture-level China from 2009-2018, green total factor productivity (GTFP) each city measured using SBM-GML model, appropriate spatial econometric model screened by various types tests....

This study investigates the removal of fluoranthene (Flu) from vehicle-wash wastewater (VWW) using biochar (EWB) derived eucalyptus wood waste. Analytical techniques such as surface area analysis (SAA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were employed to characterize EWB. Optimal conditions for Flu adsorption (98.80%) determined 40 ppm initial concentration, 60 minutes contact time, pH 5, 60°C, 0.4 g adsorbent dosage. The process was...

Potentially poisonous elements (PPEs) water pollution has become one of the key issues in field treatment. In recent years, it threatened ecosystems as well human health. This study aims to remove PPEs such chromium (Cr6+), copper (Cu2+), lead (Pb2+), and Zinc (Zn2+) from both vehicle wash wastewater aqueous solutions through batch experiments utilising carbonaceous adsorbents. Carbonaceous adsorbents were prepared waste polyethylene terephthalate (wPET) polystyrene (wPS) by carbonisation...

Abstract Marine mussels permanently adhere to various surfaces via catechol (1,2‐dihydroxybenzene) functional groups. Such biofouling causes adverse effects, including the corrosion and dragging of a marine vessel. By using density theory, we show an electrical stimulus detach molecule that strongly adhered silica surface. A moderate electric field significantly decreases binding energy dry or wet
