Photo/sono-catalytic techniques are being extensively considered for the degradation and removal of emerging contaminants (EC), including pharma-based organic pollutants. Transition metal-based nanomaterials have been studied as adsorbent/catalytic material in photo/sono-catalytic techniques for complete elimination/degradation/mineralization of pharmaceutical-based EC from wastewater streams. Various structural properties with dimensionalities of earth-abundant base metals (Ni, Fe, Cu, and Zn) oxides and their doped hybrid/composites, have been recently studied for removal/degradation/mineralization of EC from solution on the laboratory scale and industrial effluent of pharma-sectors. The oxides of earth-abundant base metals nanomaterials have been summarised and discussed in this review along with the general mechanism of degradation/elimination with acceptable results related to wastewater stream detoxification and recyclability of catalytic material during degradation/removal of EC. The surface properties like transfer of electrons and holes, surface area, surface modification and doping with reusability value of these materials are primacy factors for their applicability in the degradation/removal of organic pollutants from wastewater and substantial treatment. This study would be helpful for their use and development of cutting-edge materials for waste/surface water treatment on a large scale in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.

目前正在广泛考虑采用光催化/声催化技术来降解和去除新出现的污染物（EC），包括制药类有机污染物。研究人员已将过渡金属基纳米材料作为光催化/协同催化技术中的吸附/催化材料，用于彻底消除/降解/矿化废水中的制药基有机污染物。最近，人们研究了富土贱金属（镍、铁、铜和锌）氧化物及其掺杂杂化/复合材料的各种结构特性和尺寸，以便在实验室规模和制药行业工业废水中去除/降解/矿化溶液中的氨基甲酸乙酯。本综述总结并讨论了富土贱金属纳米材料的氧化物以及降解/去除的一般机理，并给出了与废水流解毒和催化材料在降解/去除氨基甲酸乙酯过程中的可回收性有关的可接受的结果。这些材料的表面特性，如电子和空穴的转移、表面积、表面改性和掺杂以及可再利用价值，是它们在降解/去除废水中的有机污染物和进行实质性处理时是否适用的首要因素。这项研究将有助于以可持续和具有成本效益的方式大规模使用和开发用于废物/地表水处理的尖端材料。

The Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 (ADM1) is a widely spread platform for simulating methanogenic reactors. It is a structured and complex model considering physicochemical and biochemical processes during wastewater and sewage sludge anaerobic digestion (AD). However, many modifications, simplifications, and adaptions exist for specific wastewaters/sludges, processes, and operational conditions. Given this, a bibliometric analysis was carried out to identify the main applications of ADM1 in the dry anaerobic digestion (D-AD) of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW), food waste (FW), and organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). The adaptation necessary in ADM1 includes adjusting and separating the disintegration and hydrolysis rates of the substrate and sludge, which have different characteristics, such as the concentration of solids, which is inversely proportional to the hydrolysis velocity. In addition, adaptations are a function of the adopted reactor and other parameters. Finally, the work identifies the current modeling state-of-the-art using ADM1 and the need for further research to improve the model application in D-AD processes.

厌氧消化模型 1 号（ADM1）是一个广泛使用的模拟产甲烷反应器的平台。它是一个结构复杂的模型，考虑了废水和污水污泥厌氧消化（AD）过程中的物理化学和生物化学过程。然而，针对特定的废水/污泥、工艺和运行条件，还有许多修改、简化和调整。有鉴于此，我们进行了文献计量分析，以确定 ADM1 在果蔬垃圾（FVW）、厨余垃圾（FW）和城市固体废弃物有机部分（OFMSW）的干式厌氧消化（D-AD）中的主要应用。ADM1 中必要的适应性调整包括调整和分离基质和污泥的分解和水解速度，这两种物质具有不同的特性，例如固体浓度与水解速度成反比。此外，适应性是所采用的反应器和其他参数的函数。最后，该研究确定了目前使用 ADM1 建模的最新技术，以及进一步研究改进 D-AD 工艺模型应用的必要性。

Each nation has chosen a double-carbon (carbon neutrality/emission peak) policy in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement to meet human development demands. An estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste related to the epidemic have been generated globally, highlighting an urgent need to halt or at least reduce plastic pollution. The research on degradable polymers that can decompose during composting or under illumination is becoming increasingly crucial. This paper provides a summary of various ester-bonded degradable plastic polymers, including concepts and mechanisms related to water degradation, photo degradation, and bio degradation. It also reviews important degradable agents and examines several ester-bonded plastic polymers currently used in commerce. The limitations and potential applications of these ester-bonded degradable polymers are compared and discussed. It is believed that understanding degradation will contribute to driving the development of degradable packaging polyesters.

Insects are a promising group of animals for value-added biorefining products. Among other insects, the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Hermetia illucens has gained more attention for extracting chitin and chitosan. Chitin is a natural polysaccharide well-known for its structural integrity and biocompatibility. The outer shell or exoskeletons of insects are made up of chitin, a linear polymer of N-acetylglucosamine that provides mechanical support. The BSF H. illucens serve as a best alternative source for extracting natural biopolymer chitin and chitosan. Despite their potential, no comprehensive review of BSF-derived chitin and chitosan has been published. This review aims to provide an extensive overview of recent updates on the possible applicability of BSF chitin and chitosan for biomedical and industrial applications. Special attention is given to the BSF’s biology, extraction procedures, physicochemical characterization and their biomedical applications such as antioxidant, antibacterial, wound healing properties and their various industrial claims. Furthermore, limitations, challenges, and future recommendations on extracting chitin and chitosan from BSF were also discussed. Overall, this review highlights the potential role of BSF derived chitin and chitosan in various industrial platforms.

昆虫是一类很有潜力开发增值生物精炼产品的动物。在其他昆虫中，黑兵蝇（BSF）在提取甲壳素和壳聚糖方面获得了更多关注。甲壳素是一种天然多糖，因其结构完整和生物相容性而闻名。昆虫的外壳或外骨骼由甲壳素构成，甲壳素是一种由 N-乙酰葡糖胺组成的线性聚合物，可提供机械支撑。BSF H. illucens 是提取天然生物聚合物甲壳素和壳聚糖的最佳替代来源。尽管BSF具有潜力，但目前还没有关于BSF衍生甲壳素和壳聚糖的全面综述。本综述旨在广泛综述 BSF 甲壳素和壳聚糖在生物医学和工业应用方面的最新进展。其中特别关注了 BSF 的生物学特性、提取程序、物理化学特征及其生物医学应用，如抗氧化、抗菌、伤口愈合特性及其各种工业用途。此外，还讨论了从 BSF 中提取甲壳素和壳聚糖的局限性、挑战和未来建议。总之，本综述强调了从 BSF 中提取的甲壳素和壳聚糖在各种工业平台中的潜在作用。

Ceramic membranes (CMs) demonstrated significant potential in removing sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from wastewater due to their superior properties to conventional polymeric membranes, including chemical and thermal stability, fouling resistance, and extended operational lifespan. However, conventional CMs were ineffective in removing SMX from wastewater, which led to the development of advanced CMs, utilizing catalysts and hybrid membranes to enhance wastewater treatment performance, particularly for SMX removal. This review critically examined the advancements in catalytic CMs, focusing on those activated by peroxymonosulfate, which showed remarkable efficacy in industrial and hospital wastewater treatment. It also explored the development of novel ceramic materials, advanced activation techniques, and integration of CMs with other treatment technologies. Significant benefits, such as robust mechanical properties and self-cleaning capabilities, rendered these membranes ideal for complex wastewater treatment scenarios. Furthermore, the ceramic membrane market was growing rapidly, with declining costs and long-term economic efficiency; however, challenges remained in ensuring economic feasibility and addressing potential nano- and micro-pollutant emissions. Optimizing catalytic activity, enhancing material durability, reducing operational costs, and conducting comprehensive studies on long-term performance, scalability, and environmental impacts were necessary. Moreover, these membranes' practical applicability and effectiveness needed validation through extensive case studies and large-scale pilot projects to improve the sustainability and efficiency of wastewater treatment solutions, addressing existing challenges while fostering continuous innovation in the field.

陶瓷膜（CMs）在去除废水中的磺胺甲噁唑（SMX）方面表现出巨大潜力，这是因为陶瓷膜具有优于传统聚合物膜的特性，包括化学和热稳定性、抗污损性和更长的运行寿命。然而，传统的聚合膜在去除废水中的 SMX 方面效果不佳，这促使人们开发先进的聚合膜，利用催化剂和混合膜来提高废水处理性能，尤其是去除 SMX 的性能。本综述批判性地研究了催化 CM 的进展，重点关注那些在工业和医院废水处理中表现出显著功效的过硫酸盐活化 CM。报告还探讨了新型陶瓷材料的开发、先进的活化技术以及 CM 与其他处理技术的整合。这些膜具有强大的机械性能和自清洁能力等显著优势，是复杂废水处理方案的理想选择。此外，陶瓷膜市场增长迅速，成本不断下降，具有长期经济效益；但在确保经济可行性和解决潜在的纳米和微污染物排放方面仍存在挑战。必须优化催化活性、提高材料耐久性、降低运营成本，并对长期性能、可扩展性和环境影响进行全面研究。此外，还需要通过广泛的案例研究和大规模试点项目来验证这些膜的实际适用性和有效性，以提高废水处理解决方案的可持续性和效率，在解决现有挑战的同时促进该领域的持续创新。

Gas hydrates phase transition is crucial for energy exploitation, natural gas transportation and CO₂ capture storage fields. This review introduces the characteristics of gas hydrate in phase transition process including the thermodynamic and kinetic characters, the dissociation and reformation characters, and the promotion methods.
