Mungbean is a key leguminous crop species highly regarded for its nutritious properties. However, soil salinity greatly reduced its growth and yield. Our study investigated whether applying exogenous nitrogen (N) (ammonium nitrate; AN) could improve salinity tolerance in mungbean seedlings by...

The presence of dye pollutants in the aquatic environment, apart from causing aesthetic problems, can also cause health problems. Removal of dye pollutants in industrial wastewater can be done using the adsorption method, which is a simple, effective and low-cost process. Fly ash is a solid waste...

The complex composition of persistent and resistant contaminants in oil refinery wastewater presents a significant environmental challenge that conventional treatment methods frequently fail to effectively address. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), specifically the photo-Fenton method, and a deep...

This study investigates the effectiveness of a combined precipitation and oxidation leaching process in reducing high concentrations of sulphides in tannery effluent from the unhairing bath. First, at precipitation process the influence of operational parameters, such as stirring speeds, pH levels...

The influence of land-use patterns on water quality in the Huaihe River Basin was analyzed using the Nemerow index, correlation and multiple linear regression analysis based on the measured data from 62 sampling sites in the Huaihe River Basin (China). In the point buffer zone, a significant...

The Karun River, the longest and highest water flow river in Iran, has experienced heavy and trace metal pollution in recent years. While previous studies have evaluated the water quality of the river, not all sections from north to south have been examined for all metals. To address this gap, a...

In this work, untreated activated carbon (UDP-AC) and activated carbon chemically treated with H₂SO₄ (TDP-AC) were successfully synthesized from date pits, a solid waste material. Characterization was performed on both UDP-AC and TDP-AC, and both samples were used to adsorb methylene blue (MB) dye...

The massive use of antibiotics and the consequent antibiotic pollution have become a major risk to river ecosystems, water quality, and human health. In this study, 28 antibiotics were analyzed in the rural-urban river water of Suzhou City, the inflow rivers of Hongze Lake. The total concentration...

A novel design Digital Baffle Electro Catalytic Batch Oxidation Reactor (DBECB) has been conceived to upsurge the specifications of refinery wastewater (RWW), through the removal of organic pollutants by electro catalytic oxidation treatment. The modern design that eliminates organic from RWW with...

This study focuses on the development and evaluation of novel materials bentonite-CaO, magnetite bentonite-FeCl3, and magnetite bentonite-CaO/FeCl3 as potent adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue dyes from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption test was conducted with variations of contact times...

This study uses Taguchi analysis to assess the performance and energy efficiency of a metal scrap-incorporating single-slope solar still (SSSS). This study examines the influence of key input variables solar intensity, wind velocity and water inlet temperature on output metrics such as daily...

This study utilizes the Time-Varying Parameter Vector Auto-Regression (TVP-VAR) Connectedness model and wavelet coherence analysis to investigate, for the first time, the dynamic connection between China's carbon market and high-tech industry. The results show an overall market Connectedness index...

This study used a biosorbent, derived from processed Prosopis juliflora root powder to treat wastewater and remove lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu) ions. The biosorption process was influenced by factors including temperature (25 to 65°C), biomass content (1 to 5 g), pH levels (1.0 to 7.0)...

In this study, removal of reactive yellow 145 (RY 145) dyestuff by dry biomass of Ureolytic mixed microorganism culture (UMC), existing in domestic wastewater and various industrial wastewater, was studied. Optimum conditions of adsorption efficiency were tested. For this purpose, studies were...

Aquatic ecosystems in the Thamirabarani River Basin, Tamil Nadu, India, are facing increasingly complex challenges due to climate change, particularly concerning water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels. This study delves into the intricate relationship between these variables and their...

Wastewater includes sewage water, which presents serious environmental problems that necessitate effective treatment techniques. Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) have emerged as promising solutions, albeit plagued by membrane fouling and computational loading issues. To resolve these issues, this...

This study uses green, environmentally friendly methods to synthesize manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO-NPs) that can be applied on mild steel as a safe and eco-friendly material with corrosion inhibition attributes. Mukia madaraspatana leaf extract is effective in the green synthesis of Mno-NPs...

A risk-based decision analysis methodology is presented, that can be used as a water policy tool in the design of economic incentive instruments, under conditions of uncertainty. A contaminated groundwater resource system with unknown hydrogeological parameters is used as a case study. The polluter...

The activity and selectivity of Pd catalysts supported on YSZ and dosed with different amounts of Na promoter has been investigated for the reduction of NO by alkenes (C3H6) or alkanes (CH4). It is found that Na strongly promotes the reduction of NO by C3H6. Rate increases by an order of magnitude...
