Abstract Currently, due to the rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization in developing countries, a large volume wastewater is produced from industries that contain chemicals generating high environmental risks affecting human health economy if not treated properly. Consequently, development sustainable low-cost treatment approach has attracted more attention policymakers scientists. The present review highlights recent applications biochar removing organic inorganic pollutants...

Given rising spend on the provision of healthcare services, sustainable management waste from facilities is increasingly becoming a focus as means reducing public health risks and financial costs. Using data per capita at national level, well case study hospital in Italy, this examined relationship between trends generation associated costs managing waste. At percentage gross domestic product positively correlated with arisings. site type were linked to department clinical performance, top...

Energy audits in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) reveal large differences the energy consumption various stages, depending also on indicators used audits. This work is aimed at formulating a suitable methodology to perform WWTPs and identifying most key for comparison among different benchmarking. Hydraulic-based stages based chemical oxygen demand, sludge-based building were distinguished analysed with indicators. Detailed carried out five small treating less than 10,000 population...

Solid waste management (SWM) in rural areas of many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) represents a critical underrated topic. However, almost half the world's population still lives an adequate SWM is crucial reducing environmental health threats. A lack knowledge appropriate tools often leads to inappropriate practices such as dumping uncontrolled burning. methods can transform into resources even guarantee revenue source. This manuscript provides overview state characterising...

Inadequate solid waste management (SWM) can lead to environmental contamination and human health risks. The risks from poor SWM vary based on specific practices exposure pathways. Thus, it is necessary adequately understand the local context. This information, however, rarely available in low-resource settings, particularly rural areas. A safety plan could be helpful these settings for gathering data assess minimize As a step developing such tool, semi-quantitative risk analysis of nine...

Recycling graphite from spent Li-ion batteries (LiBs) is critical due to its role in battery manufacturing and increasing global demand. This study evaluated three recovery processes: (1) a cold process, based on mechanical separation; (2) hot using CaO-assisted annealing; (3) wet employing acid leaching dissolve copper. The processes were optimized for efficiency, characterized via SEM-EDS, XRF, XRD, CHN, Raman spectroscopy, assessed environmental economic performance by life cycle...

Selecting actions for improvement of solid waste management in low and middle income countries understanding how a specific decision choice will fit impact on local context is key to identifying sustainable solutions. Assessment the (be it technical or managerial) assessment enabling disabling conditions are both important steps making process. Various tools methods currently available support decision-making management. can be used identify weaknesses strengths existing systems structured...
