Emerging contaminants (ECs) represent a small fraction of the large chemical pollution puzzle where wide variety potentially hazardous chemicals reach environment, and new compounds are continuously synthesized released in wastewater treatment plants ultimately effluent biosolids. ECs have been classified into various categories; however, this article focuses on fate major categories, namely pharmaceutical personal care products (PPCPs), per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), flame...

Due to the importance and economic value of gold in various applications, recovering from waste streams like tailings industrial wastewater is essential. Biochar with a high surface area porosity considered potential low-cost adsorbent for reclaiming aqueous media. Therefore, this study aims develop high-quality biochar excellent physicochemical properties efficiently remove To accomplish this, was obtained pyrolysis Ironbark (IB) biomass at 500 °C which has 493.79 m2/g. Subsequently,...

Abstract Porous scaffolds in bone tissue engineering (BTE) play a crucial role facilitating osteointegration with host tissues and providing nutrients to cells involved healing. Scaffold architecture influences osteointegration, biofunctionality mechanical strength, necessitating clear understanding of its impact. In this study, hydroxyapatite are 3D printed three types triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures: gyroid, lidinoid, split‐P, at porosities ranging from 50% 80%. Split‐P...

In this study, a potential circular economy approach for macroalgae (Ulva ohnoi) was investigated considering the crucial stages of biorefinery. Important stages, such as drying biomass, production biochar (pyrolysis), and application phosphorus removal were studied reported. It is important to note that biomass from an average wet basis moisture content ca. 70–85% suitable thermal conversion, 10%, challenging task. The physicochemical properties well characterized correlated with their...
