The developed adsorbent (ACOP-TiO₂) was prepared and characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analysis, and elemental analysis. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) test demonstrated that the modification increased the surface area of ACOP-TiO₂ by 2.55 times greater than ACOP. Adsorption experiments were conducted using synthetic aqueous solutions of arsenic (As(V)), and the response surface methodology (RSM) incorporating central composite design (CCD) was employed for experimental optimization. The results indicated that ACOP-TiO₂ demonstrated efficient arsenic removal, with optimal pH identified at approximately 4.2. Increasing adsorbent dosage (0.025–0.4 g in 50 mL solution, corresponding to 0.5–8 g L^-1) positively influenced adsorption efficiency, while initial arsenic concentration (10–60 mg L^-1) directly correlated with adsorbent capacity, with a predicted optimum concentration of 50 mg L^-1. Contact time (0.4–6 h) exhibited minimal impact on adsorbent capacity within the experimental timeframe. Under the conditions of pH 4.2, an initial arsenic concentration of 50 mg L^-1, an adsorbent dose of 3.3 g L^-1 (0.165 g adsorbent/50 mL solution), and a contact time of 4.8 h, the maximum adsorbent capacity in arsenic removal for ACOP-TiO₂ was 10.91 mg g⁻¹. The intra-particle diffusion kinetic model and Temkin isotherm best described arsenic adsorption onto ACOP-TiO₂.

Unfortunately, there is a lack of quick and easy solutions available for composting plant managers who usually need complex and time consuming laboratory measurements for determination of biological or chemical parameters, and more robust on-site methods<em>.</em> Compost evolution monitoring needs actual determination of several biological and physico-chemical parameters as the C/N ratio, the ISMO (Organic Matter Stability Index), related to organic matter stability, and the germination test related to compost maturity.

As these residues are more persistent compared to the biodegradable ones, their conversion to a simpler and safer form is highly required. To fill in this gap, an approach to review the co-digestion of tannery residues and its potential degradation kinetics has been initiated here so that the prime co-digestion- and kinetic- parameters are evaluated. Moreover, four generic equations with 45 parameters (variable and constant) have been developed based on the existing literature to explain the bacterial growth with substrate- and product- inhibition as well as substrate degradation. This review outcome will lead to the biochemical modelling of the degradation of tannery residues for various co-digestion elements.

The investigation focused on the presence or absence of NaNO₃ while altering the ratio of KMnO₄ and reaction time. The synthesized materials were analysed using UV–VIS spectrophotometry and FTIR.

The percentage of Methylene Blue (MB) dye removal was examined using oxidized samples, and the impact of oxidation on the efficacy of dye adsorption was investigated. The results showed that maximum 79% removal occurred for lowest oxidised MWCNTs compared to others as maximum oxidation leads to agglomeration of particles. The Freundlich isotherm and pseudo 1st order reaction order models exhibited optimal compatibility with pristine MWCNTs.

The methodological approach entails constructing a superstructure, gathering relevant data, and analyzing the results. Both deterministic MILP and two stage stochastic model are used in this study. A deterministic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is employed to optimize the MSW supply chain problem, with the use of solver BARON. To account for uncertainties in supply–demand and transportation costs, a two-stage stochastic MILP model is developed. The deterministic equivalent approach is then employed to solve the stochastic model, resulting in an average solution across all scenarios. The decision variable pertaining to the selection of treatment technology locations is managed in the first stage. The second stage focuses on determining transportation and production-related decisions. Stochastic models can capture the inherent unpredictability of real-world systems by simulating a range of potential scenarios, helping to tackle uncertainty.

Waste fibers and bio-based materials are increasingly becoming popular as renewable options. They help lower carbon footprints and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. These materials also tackle environmental problems and support resource conservation and waste reduction. The primary objective of this endeavor is to develop green composites from coconut fiber, an abundant and underutilized byproduct of the coconut industry. This study assesses the effect of incorporating nanoclay at varying weight percentages (1, 3, and 5 wt%) on the properties of Coconut Fiber (CF) reinforced composites. The composites are fabricated using a compression molding process, with Methacrylic Anhydride modified Epoxidized Linseed Soybean Oil (MAELSO) serving as the polymer matrix, and Citric Acid (CA), a naturally derived crosslinker obtained from citrus fruits, to enhance the bonding within the material. The interaction between MAELSO, CF, CA and nanoclay was determined by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques (TEM) were employed to investigate the delamination and dispersal of silicate layers. Evaluation of surface morphology was achieved by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technique. The nanoclay-filled composites exhibited better mechanical property, higher thermal stability and flame retardant property compared to the nanoclay-free composites. Among all the nanocomposites those loaded with 1 wt% of nanoclay, exhibited the least amount of water vapor absorption capacity, volumetric swelling, and highest chemical resistance. The significance of this study lies in that the resulting composites promote sustainability by utilizing waste, renewable resources and biodegradable materials. This approach minimizes environmental impact while maintaining performance. As an eco-friendly alternative, these composites provide a viable substitute for conventional, non-biodegradable synthetic materials, supporting both environmental conservation and advanced material performance. The developed green composites demonstrate potential for construction and household applications due to their improved mechanical strength, thermal stability, and flame retardancy. Their low water absorption and improved chemical resistance make them suitable for humid environments, supporting sustainable material innovation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101276,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management Bulletin","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 137-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
