Influence and its spatial verification of digital economy development on carbon emission intensity from urban energy consumption
Environmental Management and Policies
In order to explore the influence of digital economy development on carbon emission intensity from urban energy consumption, digital economy development is incorporated into the reduction framework of carbon emission intensity from urban energy consumption in this paper. With carbon emission...
Evaluating the potential capability of Selenium nanoparticles on degradation of hazardess textile dye using environmental friendly approach
Ecosystems and Natural Resources Management
This study synthesizes selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) using a green approach, utilizing Tectona grandis leaf extract in a hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis provided highly crystalline particles with a trigonal crystal structure, indicative of the well-defined nature of the...
Inhibition impact of major active ingredients of Jordanian Peganum harmala on the corrosion rate of Cu, Fe and Al metals
General
The active components of Jordanian Peganum harmala L. (P. harmala) were investigated using both GC-MS and DFT calculations. The study focused on the methanol extract of P. harmala leaves, which was found to contain 21 significant natural components, of which 9 compounds constituted more than 2% of...
Exploring the Effect of Salinity as a Primary Cause of Teratology in Freshwater Diatoms
Water Quality
Increased water conductivity levels have been proposed as a key factor to explain the occurrence of teratological forms in freshwater diatom assemblages. The current study aimed to carry out an experiment on a laboratory scale to assess the response of periphytic diatoms to artificially increased...
Effect of zinc industrial waste on the mechanical and microstructural properties of the ternary blended concrete
Solid Waste Management
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...
Sustainable use of ferrochrome slag and quarry dust composites as cement-bound layers of flexible pavement
Solid Waste Management
In this study, an attempt was made to characterize ferrochrome slag as cement-bound layers of flexible pavement in view of its leaching behavior. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test was conducted to assess the mobility of toxic elements in ferrochrome slag. Ferrochrome slag...
Sustainable Treatment Approach to Dumped Construction Waste with Acids and CO2 for its Effective Re-utilization in Concrete
Solid Waste Management
Dumping of construction wastes has become one of the serious concerns in the construction industries subsequent to the scarcity of construction materials, specifically aggregates. Extensive research works have been performed to utilize the dumped waste as aggregates, yet its substandard properties...
Research on Air Pollution Loss Measurement of Harmful Substance Emissions from Tourism Energy Consumption in Jiangsu Province of China Based on Low Carbon Constraints
Air Quality
In order to explore the air pollution loss measurement of energy consumption pollutant emissions in low-carbon tourism in Jiangsu Province, this paper, based on background analysis, literature review and research design, selects 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province as research objects, and...
A Deep Learning-Based Buffalo Optimizer based Squeeze and Excitation Network for Garbage Classification for a Sustainable Environment
Solid Waste Management
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...
Anaerobic co-digestion of low Chemical oxygen demand concentration sludge mixture by different pretreatment methods
Biowaste
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...
