The use of leather production waste to prepare degradable films is a sustainable concept that can improve resource utilization and reduce the environmental pollution caused by traditional packaging waste. In this study, biodegradable anti-ultraviolet film was prepared using gelatin obtained from tanning as raw material modified gallic acid cross-linking agent. aldehyde group in reacts with amino molecule form stable covalent bond, which increases degree film. Compared conventional film,...

Abstract As great potential recycling strategy, the direct regeneration of spent LiCoO 2 (LCO) is beneficial for lowering environmental pollutions and promoting global sustainability. However, owing to using binder electrolyte, some fluorine impurities would be remained into materials. Considering doping behaviors F‐elements, their suitable content introducing facilitate energy‐storage abilities regenerated LCO. Herein, through tailored introduction LCO are successfully with...

The continuous accumulation of spent lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) has brought about critical economic and environmental issues. This paper discusses the direct recycling LIBs through defect engineering, emerging as a sustainable strategy for upcycling. Degraded materials, including cathodes anodes, exhibit structural defects that can be repurposed modifying, enhancing performance regenerated batteries. Studies show utilizing lithium vacancies (LVs) oxygen (OVs) allows efficient diffusion...

Increasing food production and ensuring drinking water safety have always been a focus of attention, especially for people in underdeveloped regions the world. Traditional excessive fertilizer applications increased crop yield but also caused groundwater nitrate pollution. Agricultural irrigating is an important reservoir nitrogen (N) (e.g., nitrate) accumulation after fertilization. Ammonium (NH 4 + -N) more readily absorbed N form by rice than (NO 3 − -N). In this study, we proposed...

The recycling of covalently crosslinked rubber faces paramount challenges as it is difficult to be recycled by melting or solution procedures because its irreversible structure formed in the vulcanization process. Here, a new ionic crosslinker was from two commonly used additives industry (i.e., bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide and zinc methacrylate) for crosslinking unsaturated with reversible three-dimensional structure. styrene butadiene comparable toughness can easily via...

The removal of polyacrylate/nano-ZnO (PA/ZnO) from water by simultaneous biosorption and biodegradation was investigated using an activated sludge (AS) unit. About 90.9%, 93.2% 95.1% the total PA/ZnO removed when AS biomasses were 2.5, 5.0 10.0 g, respectively. efficiency increases with increase initial concentration. More than 74.5% in first day, implying that dominant route. adsorption process fitted well to Langmuir model rather Freundlich model. Kinetics data showed better correlation...
