The conventional waste management practices dispose or incinerate agricultural and forestry waste, contributing to the environmental pollution while misusing biomass, a valuable resource with great potential of reuse. In fact, cultivation crops harvesting generate an abundant amount (e.g., stones, shells, straw) that can be used for wastewater treatment. Waste biomass may as: (i) adsorbent in its original, raw form, following ambient drying grinding; (ii) modified bio-based sorbents; (iii)...
Abstract The linear pattern of production-consumption-disposal cities around the world will continue to increase emission pollutants and stocks waste, as well impact on irreversible deterioration non-renewable raw materials. A transition towards a circular proposed by concept ‘Circular Cities’ is gaining momentum. As part this urban transition, emergent use Nature-based Solutions (NBS) intends shift public opinion utilize technology mitigate environmental impact. In paper, an analysis...
A new hybrid catalyst composed of mesostructured silica SBA-15 functionalized with TiO2 and further loaded RuO2 was developed to efficiently promote thermo-photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation into methane at low temperatures. The catalytic activity assessed respect TiO2:RuO2 loading, dosage, illumination source (polychromatic sunlight monochromatic LEDs) power, [H2]:[CO2] molar ratio, temperature, reusability. best methanation yields were attained for the RuO2(6.4%):TiO2(16.9%)/SBA-15...
An ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) method was developed to concentrate and quantify rare earth elements (REEs) (Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) in acidic aqueous solutions. Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) used as the diluent, di–(2–ethyl hexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) extracting agent, acetone dispersant solvent. The optimized at pH = 2.3, T 25 °C, VS 400 µL of a PCE ÷ D2EHPA mixture (10 1) using response surface methodology...
Considering the rising demand for rare earth elements (REEs), researchers are looking new sources their extraction, thereby fostering economic and environmentally justified processing solutions. Among potential industrial sources, coal fly ash emerges as one of most promising. The recovery REEs from bottom ashes derived different thermal power plants was main focus this study. A dual-step methodology conducted on samples, which involved an ultrasonic roasting process to disintegrate silica...
This study proposes an efficient activated spirulina-based carbon material (ASBCM800) with extremely high specific surface area (2211 m2 g−1) to eliminate a wide range of micropollutants (MPs) frequently detected in wastewaters. bio-sorbent can be simply synthesized by pre-carbonization at 600 °C, followed activation/carbonization KOH 800 °C. The was fully characterized nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), attenuated total reflection Fourier transformed...
This work proposes an eco-efficient treatment technology for the remediation of a kaolinite-based clay soil artificially contaminated with hexavalent chromium (50 mg Cr(VI) kg–1 soil), combining electrokinetics (EK) permeable reactive barriers (PRB) composed cork granules, major by-product stoppers production. 100% natural and sustainable material can act as (i) electron donor in reduction into trivalent [Cr(III)], less toxic state, (ii) binder reduced Cr(III) on its pre-oxidized surface....
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are frequently implemented without taking the system’s perspective into account and with main focus on technical economic issues of implementation. This study was conducted to test hypothesis potential synergistic effects between circularity NBS holistically tackle urban challenges. The objective is establish preliminary insights obstacles perspectives integration implementation, through a questionnaire set up by network experts gathered within COST Action...
The increasing pollution from the textile industry, particularly organic azo dyes, presents a significant environmental challenge, necessitating development of effective and sustainable treatment methods. This study investigates adsorption potential hazelnut shells (raw—RHSs; modified—MHSs) for removal dyes aqueous solutions. As biomass, are biodegradable represent alternative to synthetic adsorbents, thereby reducing ecological footprint. Through series batch experiments, influence various...
The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides ((40)K, (210)Pb, (210)Po, (226)Ra and (228)Ra) in 17 most frequently used cigarette brands Serbia corresponding effective doses due to smoke inhalation are presented. mean annual for (210)Pb (210)Po were estimated be 47.3 724 µSv y(-1) respectively. currently has the highest smoking rate world. results this study indicate high contribution dose total from radionuclides. more implementation actions reducing prevalence is highly needed.
Highly porous lignin-based microspheres, modified by magnetite nanoparticles, were used for the first time removal of selenate anions, Se(VI), from spiked and real water samples. The influence experimental conditions: concentration, adsorbent dosage contact on adsorption capacity was investigated in a batch mode. FTIR, XRD, SEM techniques to analyze structural morphological properties native exhausted adsorbent. maximum found be 69.9 mg/g Se(VI) anions at pH 6.46 simulated natural polymer...
