An empirical study on the measurement and influencing factors of carbon emission efficiency in China's transportation industry
Ecology, environmental change and management
The severe climate problem has forced the Chinese government to put forward the goal of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality", and the transportation industry is a key area of carbon emission reduction. Based on this background, this paper introduces the BCC model and the Malmquist-Luenberger index...
Analysis and Assessment of Gaseous Pollutants along High Traffic Roads (NH 948) in Coimbatore City, India
Air Quality
The growing Urbanization, Industrialization, Institutional, and IT sector development contribute to the exponential growth of motorized road transportation increasing the composition of harmful gaseous pollutants in ambient air. So, it is necessary to analyze and quantify the concentration of...
Entrapment of green seaweed Caulerpa Scalpelliformis for extracting Pb(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) metal ions from aqueous solutions
Water and Wastewater Treatment
From this study, green seaweed Caulerpa Scalpelliformis is utilized as a sorbent for the removal of three metals such as lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn). Adsorption tests showed that maximum removal efficiency of 75.02% for Pb, 80% for Ni and 91.11% for Zn was obtained at an optimal equilibrium...
Variation Analysis of Long-term TN concentration and influencing factors in Miyun Reservoir in China
Water Quality
The total nitrogen (TN) is the key indicator for the eutrophication of Miyun Reservoir. Base on the long-term series of remote sensing, hydrological and water quality observation data, this paper comprehensively analyzed the trend of water quality especially the TN concentration and its influencing...
Preparation and Characterization of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Polyhedral Oligosilsesquioxane Hybrid Membrane for Pervaporation Separation of High-Concentration ε-Caprolactam Solution
Desalination
We used Vinyl-polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS)as a modified material and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to make a hybrid membrane for the pervaporation membrane separation of high-concentration caprolactam solution. The membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray...
Strength studies on concrete using e-plastic waste as coarse aggregate
Solid Waste Management
As an important resource for the IT sector and due to the extremely hazardous elements it contains and the low recycling rate, e-plastic waste management and recycling are growing swiftly. E-plastic waste utilization reduces aggregate costs, landfill costs and energy prices. Rapid population growth...
Toxic phytoplankton in eutrophic regional seas: an overview
Ecology, environmental change and management
Toxic algal blooms have become a major environmental problem over the last few decades because of their impact on fisheries, leisure activities, national income and human health. It is known that Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) can occur naturally but the frequency of occurrence as well as their...
Spatiotemporal evolution and driving factors of carbon emissions in Qingdao City based on GeoDetector
Urban environment and health
Investigating the spatiotemporal characteristics and factors of urban carbon emissions is essential to reduce carbon emissions and achieve dual carbon goals. In this study, we examined the change tendency of carbon emissions using the coefficient of variation, the Sen’s slope method, and the Mann...
Investigating the integration of physical-electrochemical-biological processes in the rehabilitation of dead soils contaminated with lead and phenanthrene
Solid Waste Management
This study was carried out with the aim of using three processes of soil washing, electrofenton and biological leaching method in order to rehabilitate the soil contaminated with lead and phenanthrene around the south Tehran oil refinery. The variables examined in this study are the amount of soil...
Microbial Technique to Treat Recycled Aggregates from Construction Waste for its Effective reutilization in Concrete
Solid Waste Management
Excessive consumption of natural resources for concrete production results in the diminution of conventional resources, leading to the scarcity of construction materials. Perhaps, the dumping of construction wastes increases the municipal wastes ensuing in disposal problems. The dumped construction...
