Development of a novel green waste compost stability monitoring method using the CIELAB color model
Solid Waste Management
Compost stability is an essential parameter of composting. Recent studies have shown that the color of compost is influenced by the initial characteristics of the main organic substrates. In this study, the progression of CIELAB color variables and typical compost stability and maturity indices were...
Spatiotemporal evolution pattern of carbon emission performance in Asian countries
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Due to extensive energy consumption and industrial production activities, Asian countries have become the largest sources of global carbon emissions, with emerging economies like China and India contributing significantly. Against the backdrop of increasing global climate change, carbon emissions...
Investigation on Tensile and Flexural Behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Concrete Using Artificial Neural Network
Solid Waste Management
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact that using marble sludge powder as a partial replacement for cement in concrete can have. Experiments were conducted to investigate a variety of characteristics of fiber-reinforced concrete using both fresh concrete and concrete that had been...
Spatial variation of air pollutants by using GIS modelling
Air Quality
Air pollution in Tamil Nadu has become a pressing issue, as various pollutants have surpassed the limits established by the pollution control board. The major air pollutants in the region, namely sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and suspended particulate matter, have been identified. This study...
A Critical probation for potentiality of bio-fuel with exquisite concoction of natural anti-oxidant additive in engines for pollutants reduction
Air Quality
Considering the present global fuel scenario, it becomes highly inevitable to opt for biofuel. Yet the use of biodiesel had increased pollutants which are emitted to the atmosphere such as Carbon monoxide, Unburnt Hydrocarbon, Nitrogen oxides and Smoke density in the combustion products. For this...
Enhancing Solid Waste Sustainability with Iroko Wooden Sawdust and African Oil Bean Shell Particle-Strengthened Epoxy Composites
Solid Waste Management
Bio-composite materials are gaining traction in various industries as sustainable alternatives to synthetic fiber-reinforced composites. This study investigated the impact of fine powders loading on the tensile, transverse, and compressive characteristics of hybrid composites composed of Iroko...
Effectiveness of corn stalk biochar in amending the contaminated soil attributes and enhancing the sustainable grass growth
Environmental Management and Policies
It is important to rapidly amend the hostile rural soil fertility and quality to develop green land verdure. In this research, cornstalk-derived biochar was added (sequence proportions 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 % in the mass ratio) into hostile rural soil and then the grass was grown in the pots. The...
Assessment of biomarker-based ecotoxic effects in combating microplastic pollution - A review
Environmental Health
Microplastics, found in various environments oceans, freshwater systems, soil, and the atmosphere, can enter ecosystems through various pathways, including the degradation of macroplastic parts or direct release from consumer products. By polluting terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems...
Smooth nickel - a suitable anodic material in new alkaline fuel cells sulphite/oxygen
Sustainable Energy
The anodic oxidation of sulphite ions was studied by voltammetric techniques on a nickel electrode in alkaline solution at various concentration of sulphite and polarization rate. The kinetic parameters of the electrode process have been determined using Tafel plots method and a mechanism of the...
Synergistic effects of microbes and plant for remediation of chromium contaminated soil
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The contamination of soil is a serious issue to the environment caused by the human activities in the form of improper disposal methods. There are several contaminated dumpsites in India where, hazardous and other wastes contains heavy metal were dumped historically, which subsequently results in...
