In this work, copper oxides (CuO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized using Abelmoschus esculentus (A. esculentus) leaves extract by hydrothermal method and subsequently employed for degrading recalcitrant pesticide imidacloprid (IMI). The CuO and ZnO nanoparticles were characterized...

Air pollution monitoring is becoming increasingly important, with an emphasis on the effects on human health. Because nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) are the principal pollutants, many models for forecasting their potential harm have been created. Nonetheless, making precise...

The construction industry looks over the material alternatives whereby the conventionally materials can be replaced. The conventionally materials like fine aggregate, cement, as well as coarse aggregate. The replacements for the conventional materials are wider but the waste products and its by...

Methyldimethylhydrazine and its by-products cause serious damage to human health. In this paper, Re3+-doped mesoporous TiO2 were synthesized for the photodegradation of UDMH. The structure, morphology and optical properties of photocatalyst were extensively characterized. The photocatalytic...

Compared with free bacteria, immobilized bacteria have a higher oil degradation rate, making them highly promising for the bioremediation of offshore oil pollution. In our study, preparation conditions of modified Enteromorpha-immobilized bacterial agent were optimized by response surface method. A...

Chlorella microbial fuel cells may be an alternative technology for wastewater treatment. Using microalgae and activated sludge as raw materials, a C-MFCs was established, and the effects of different nitrogen and phosphorus ratios in the influent on the electrochemical performance of C-MFCs and the...

One of the biggest environmental issues has been the use and disposal of traditional fossil-based plastic, which is not biodegradable and uses a lot of energy in its production. Poly lactic acid (PLA) has received a lot of attention as an environmentally friendly substitute due to the fact that it...

Forest fires are a global natural calamity causing significant economic damage and loss of lives. Professionals forecast that forest fires would raise in the future because of climate change. Early prediction and identification of fire spread would enhance firefighting and reduce affected zones...

The amount of waste is increasing daily; however, the available land area is limited. This problem can be overcome by segregating waste and other alternatives by accelerating landfill stabilization using landfill bioreactors. In this study, anaerobic bioreactor A with daily use of water and the...

In recent times, advanced technologies in transportation are developing like connected and automated vehicles and shared mobility services. A rapidly increasing number of vehicles in intelligent transportation system (ITS) and smart cities causes pollution and degrade the quality of air. Owing to...

Catechol is a highly toxic phenolic organic compound used in various industries such as refineries, toxics, dyes and plastics. When this compound enters the environment, it can have negative effects on human health and the ecosystem. In this study-removed pyrocatechol from aqueous solutions using a...

The photocatalytic process as an advanced oxidation process (AOP) has gained worldwide attention in the water and wastewater industry. The photocatalytic process can be used for water and wastewater disinfection. The aim of this study was to remove coliforms and faecal coliforms from real hospital...

The aim of this study was to investigate the tensile strength reduction of four different materials: steel, polypropylene, polyethylene and glass fiber/epoxy (GFRP), under the conditions in a chemical scrubber. In detail, the performance of these materials in an acidic environment was assessed. The...

In recent days, massive quantity of waste materials gets considerable increased with increasing population. Proper management of waste materials becomes essential to reduce environmental degradation and improve quality of life in smart cities. Waste management helps to collect and treat waste...

Water pollution has been acknowledged as an issue of concern due to recalcitrant pollutants like textile dyes. Therefore, the eco-friendly synthesis of nano-particles (NPs) through green chemistry approach from sources and materials of organic origin has not only enhanced the properties of substance...

The wastes are in many forms consist of organic materials like human, medical, food, plastics, construction waste etc. many researchers are focused on the waste management to gives more importance to the environment. The bio degradable waste was used in this research with naturals fibers. The need...

Photocatalytic degradation for wastewater treatment is a method that has recently attracted attention. In this research, a synthesized composite of Fe3O4/SiO2/NiO with magnetic properties was used for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under UV light. Furthermore, the composites...
