River fragmentation is an increasing issue for water managers and conservationists. Barriers such as dams interfere with freshwater fish migration, leading to drastic population declines. While there are a range of widely implemented mitigation approaches, e.g. fish passes, such measures are often inefficient due to suboptimal operation and design....

In this study, the treatment performance of a heterogeneous Fenton system (Fe-BC + H2O2) driven by iron-loaded sludge biochar (Fe-BC) on wastewater containing sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was investigated using the CODcr removal efficiency (φ) as an indicator. The batch experimental results showed that the optimal operating conditions were as follow: ini...

Urban land-use change simulations without considering the sustainable planning policies, especially in special economic park highly concerned by planners, might lack the reliability and availability. Thus, this study proposes a novel planning support systems integrating the Cellular Automata Markov chain model and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (CA-...

The rapid development of the social economy has promoted a continuous increase in the intensity and scale of land use by humans, which has seriously affected the sustainable development of the region. It is important to understand the land use/cover change (LUCC) in the arid region and its future development trends and to make reasonable planning r...

The disposal of blue algae (BA) and corn gluten (CG) wastes and the simultaneous recovery of abundant phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) by pyrolysis to obtain biochars with high fertility is a promising strategy. However, pyrolysis of BA or CG alone by a conventional reactor cannot reach the target. Herein, we propose a novel MgO-enhanced N and P rec...

Wastewater usually contains high concentration of calcium (Ca), posing a competitive reaction with magnesium (Mg) on phosphorus (P) recovery during the struvite crystallization. The differences in the adsorption of heavy metals by Ca-P and Mg-P (struvite) generated are still unclear. Herein, we analyzed the residues of four kinds of common heavy me...

The golden rule of material accumulation can be defined as the ability of society to process materials as the benefit of capital, with physical investments as the expense of the process. Societies are incentivized to accumulate resources while disregarding resource restrictions. Since they earn more on such a path, despite how unsustainable it is. ...

In the era of rapid and conspicuous progress of water treatment technologies, combined adsorption and membrane filtration systems have gained great attention as a novel and efficient method for contaminant removal from aqueous phase. Further development of these techniques for water/wastewater treatment applications will be promising for the recove...

A deep speciation study on L-carnosine (CAR) and Pb2+ system was performed in aqueous solution with the aim to assess its potential use as a sequestering agent of metal cation. To determine the best conditions for Pb2+ complexation, potentiometric measurements were carried out over a wide range of ionic strength (0.15 ≤ I/≤ 1 mol/L) and temperature...

Antibiotics are widely used in medical care, livestock production, and aquaculture. However, antibiotic pollution has attracted increasing global concerns due to their ecological risks after entering into environmental ecosystem via animal excretion, effulent from industrial and domestic sewage treatment facilities. In this study, 30 antibiotics we...
