Heavy metals have significant environmental impacts on human health and ecosystems. Appropriate remediation measures can be developed based on the source characteristics of heavy metals. So tracking the source of heavy metal pollution has become a prerequisite for assessing its potential pollution...

The management of organic waste in urban environments poses significant challenges due to the high volume of waste generated and limited disposal options. Composting is a promising technique for converting organic waste into valuable compost that can be used to improve soil health and reduce the...

Present study investigated the unknown responses of five castor bean genotypes to lead (Pb) contaminated soil, focusing on their growth and metal uptake efficiency. A unique aspect is the simultaneous assessment of multiple genotypes, offering a holistic view of their reactions to soil contamination...

In recent years, the surgical face mask is mandatory for human health safeguards due to the worldwide pandemic disease COVID-19. The improper disposal of medical face masks polluted the environment. Tenebrio molitor (mealworm) larvae were shown to have the capacity to chew and consume polypropylene...

The non-competitive and competitive adsorption/desorption of agrochemicals into soil plays an important role in the fate and behaviour of contaminants in the environment. Non-competitive and competitive adsorption/desorption experiments of imidacloprid and KNO3 into alluvial soil and sandy soil were...

This study presents the results of the biogas purification test using the fixed-bed column method. As an adsorbent, natural zeolite from the Lombok island Indonesia was used. Zeolite is used for the purpose of purifying biogas produced from the anaerobic digestion (AD) process. To enhance the...

Under the greenhouse scale, nano zero valent iron (nZVI) have been evaluated evaluated by formulation with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-nZVI), chitosan (Ch-nZVI), biochar (BC-nZVI), and smectite (SC-nZVI) at rates of 0 and 0.5 and 1% (w/w). The properties of manufactured compounds and their impact...

Biowalls are a new phenomenon in interior urban areas, which has proven to contribute positively to sensory comfort. But people use biowalls in different dimensions. Based on field facts, determining the biowall dimensions for human sensory comfort has not emphasized clear principles. The research...

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly hazardous metal known for its easy absorption and accumulation in plants, particularly in edible vegetable oils. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) holds global significance as an oil crop. This study aims to assess the potential of zinc-solubilizing bacterial strains in...

Most of the tungsten tailings (TTs) are filled in the open. As a result, the phenomenon that acid rain influences the engineering geological characteristics of tungsten tailings is impossible to avoid, especially in southern China, where acid rain occurs frequently. This work studied the...

Population growth, industrialization and technological advances have significantly increased waste production, waste collection, transportation and disposal induced significant costs. Waste could be considered a resource that allows nations to reduce the consumption of primary raw materials, protect...

The Coordinated management of solid waste dumps from different anthropogenic environments is important for pollution management of immediate and adjacent ecosystems. This study took three soil profile samples from three functional zones: the rural, the suburban, and the urban solid waste dumps. The...

The use of appropriate waste materials to stabilize problematic soils, such as expansive soils that are responsible for geotechnical damage, is a common practice in geotechnical engineering. This study presents the use of pulverized ash from the combustion of pine cone (PC) waste as a stabilizing...

Vermicomposting is a mesophilic biooxidation and stabilization process of organic materials that involves the joint action of earthworm and microorganism. An experiment was conducted to prepare vermicompost using partially decomposed organic waste such as MSW, fruit waste, vegetable waste and yard...

The rapid growth of infrastructure leads to industrial waste accumulation and natural resource depletion, raising the need for sustainable solutions. When zinc is refined, a significant amount of non-biodegradable material called jarosite (JS) is generated, requiring proper environmentally friendly...

Three laboratory scale systems were operated to study the anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge with the excess activated sludge and cattle manure which contained low COD concentration. The experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of different methods of pretreatment. Since the poor...

A Squeeze and Excitation Network is a deep-learning architectural component designed to enhance networks. The "squeeze" step reduces the spatial dimensions of the input feature maps, and the "excitation" step adaptively recalibrates channel-wise feature responses. This allows the network to focus on...
