Valorization of plastic waste aggregate in concrete: A study on durability and microstructural properties.
Solid Waste Management
Efficient valorization of plastic waste is widely investigated by numerous researchers. The need for an alternate to conventional aggregate in concrete production has led to the evolution of numerous artificial aggregates. This research investigates the impact of adverse environmental exposure...
A Comprehensive Review on CO2 Capture Process using Amine-Ionic Liquids Mixtures
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
In recent years, there has been an increase in the earth's temperature due to the emission of CO 2 which causes global warming. With a 1.9°C temperature increase predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, reducing of CO 2 is essential for all living species. Therefore, finding novel...
Exploring the role of ecosystem based–adaptation in climate change mitigation and resilience building
General
Climate change significantly threatens global ecosystems and human societies, necessitating innovative strategies for mitigation and adaptation. This study addresses the problem of increasing climate vulnerability by investigating the role of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in enhancing resilience...
Electrochemically deposited zinc oxide films on stainless steel for photo degradation of Basic Red 18 dye
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) films have been electrochemically deposited on stainless steel and its photocatalytic activity on the degradation of BR 18 dyes was tested. The effects of different electrodeposition conditions such as deposition potential and deposition time on the nanostructures of...
Enhanced Performance of Membrane Bioreactor in Sewage Treatment through Integrated Control Strategy
General
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...
A Light weighted Dense and Tree structured simple recurrent unit (LDTSRU) for flood prediction using meteorological variables
Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity
Floods cause significant harm around the world each year. Predicting floods accurately and in a timely manner can greatly reduce the loss of human life and property. Thus far, a number of modelling approaches have been described for automatic flood detection; these approaches primarily capture...
Optimizing lightweight concrete with coconut shell aggregates for high strength and sustainability
Solid Waste Management
In this investigation, coconut shell, a lightweight agricultural waste, is used to completely replace coarse material. Based on previous findings, it is suggested that coconut shell be used as coarse aggregate in structural lightweight concrete. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop...
Wastewater Recycling to Enhance Environmental Quality using Fuzzy Embedded with RNN-IoT for Sustainable Coffee Farming
Water and wastewater reuse
Wastewater pollution is a major concern due to organic matter, pesticides, and other contaminants. Untreated discharge of this wastewater can pollute water resources and harm the environment. A data-driven approach for optimizing wastewater treatment systems and ensuring recycled water's safety and...
A critical review on hydrothermal liquefaction screening using Microalgae as a two-way approach to sewage water treatment and biofuel production
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is involved in concurrently treating both sewage water and generating biofuels. It involves the analysis of various operating parameters, such as pressure, catalyst temperature, and reaction time, to determine the productivity and physiochemical properties of the...
Environmental Exhaust Emissions reduction and Performance Improvement Analysis of biodiesel operated Diesel Engine Performance Using Operating Parameters
Air Quality
The present investigation aims to study the performance and emission characteristics of a CI DI diesel engine using biodiesel blends derived from Jatropha seed feedstock. Four blends, namely B25, B50, B75, and B100, are employed as fuels to run the diesel engine at a rated speed of 1500 rpm, and...
