Humus is an important parameter to affect the environmental fate of arsenic (As) in tailing soil. According to the batch and column experiment, the effects of humus (HS) including humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA) on the As release and basic properties of soil were studied in the soil from a mining region. In addition, HA was modified by 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-MPTS) with different sulfur content (S%) to improve the release capacity of As. The results indicated that HS could destroy the binding of As with Fe, Mn, Al and Ca without affecting the basic properties of tailings soil, thus achieving the co-release of As and associated metals. Besides, the As release capacity of FA (25.47 %) was slightly higher than that of HA (21.90 %). The ability of thiol-modified HAs to release As from tailings soil after being modified with different S% of 3-MPTS was significantly improved, of which 2 % had the best treatment. The thiol groups (-SH) reached 45.00 % of total S. With the increase of S%, the surface thoil content, aromatization degree and total reduction capacity (TRC) of HA increased. The study demonstrated that HS and thiol-modified HA could promote the migration of As and could advance the treatment of heavy metal contaminated tailing soil.In this study, an immobilization method for forming and keeping dominant petroleum degradation bacteria was successfully developed by immobilizing Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Sphingobacterium genus bacteria on wheat bran biochar pyrolyzed at 300, 500, and 700 °C. The removal efficiency indicated that the highest TPHs (total petroleum hydrocarbons) removal rate of BC500-4 B (biochar pyrolyzed at 500 °C with four kinds of petroleum bacteria) was 58.31%, which was higher than that of BC500 (36.91%) and 4 B (43.98%) used alone. The soil properties revealed that the application of biochar increased the content of organic matter, available phosphorus, and available potassium, but decreased pH and ammonium nitrogen content in soil. Bacterial community analysis suggested that the formation of dominant degrading community represented by Acinetobacter played key roles in TPHs removal. The removal rate of alkanes was similar to that of TPHs. Besides, biochar and immobilized material can also mediate greenhouse gas emission while removing petroleum, biochar used alone and immobilized all could improve CO2 emission, but decrease N2O emission and had no significant impact on CH4 emission. Furthermore, it was the first time to found the addition of Acinetobacter genus bacteria can accelerate the process of forming a dominant degrading community in wheat bran biochar consortium. This study focused on controlling greenhouse gas emission which provides a wider application of combining biochar and bacteria in petroleum soil remediation.Over the last few years, the list of water contaminants has grown tremendously due to many anthropogenic activities. Various conventional technologies are available for water and wastewater treatment. However, micropollutants of emerging concern (MEC) are posing a great threat due to their activity at trace concentration and poor removal efficiency by the conventional treatment processes. Advanced technology like membrane technology can remove MEC to some extent. However, issues like the different chemical properties of MEC, selectivity, and fouling of membranes can affect the removal efficiency. Moreover, the concentrate from the membrane filtration may need further treatment. Enzymatic degradation of pollutants and foulants is one of the green approaches for removing various contaminants from the water as well as mitigating membrane fouling. Biocatalytic membranes (BCMs), in which enzymes are immobilized on membranes, combines the advantages of membrane separation and enzymatic degradation. This review article discussed various commonly used enzymes in BCMs for removing MEC and fouling. The majorly used enzymes were oxidoreductases and hydrolases for removing MEC, antifouling, and self-cleaning ability. The various BCM synthesis processes based on entrapment, crosslinking, and binding have been summarized, along with the effects of the addition of the nanoparticles on the performances of the BCMs. The scale-up, commercial viability, challenges, and future direction for improving BCMs have been discussed and shown bright possibilities for these new generation membranes.Biosorption using modified biochar has been increasingly adopted for the sustainable removal of uranium-contaminated from an aqueous solution. In this research study, the facile preparation and surface characteristics of magnetized biochar derived from waste watermelon rind to treat U(VI) contaminated water were investigated. The porosity, specific surface area, adsorption capacity, reusability, and stability were effectively improved after the magnetization of biochar. The kinetics and isotherm studies found that the U(VI) adsorption was rate-limiting monolayer sorption on the homogeneous surface of magnetized watermelon rind biochar (MWBC). The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 323.56 mg of U(VI) per g of MWBC at pH 4.0 and 293 K that was higher than that of watermelon rind biochar (WBC) (135.86 mg g-1) and other sourced biochars. The surface interaction mechanism, environmental feasibility, applicability for real-filed water treatment studied in the electromagnetic semi-batch column, and reusability of MWBC were also explored. Furthermore, salient raised the ion exchange and complexation action capacity of MWBC due to the presence of Fe oxide. The overall results indicated that MWBC was not only inexpensive and had a high removal capacity for U(VI), but it also easily enabled phase separation from an aqueous solution, with more than three times reusability at a minimum removal capacity of 99%.Seed dressing with fungicide or insecticide is a standard procedure for growing major crops, but very little is known about the leaching risk and the general fate of pesticides from coated seeds. CX-5461 chemical structure Triazole fungicides are commonly used seed dressing fungicides and recently, there has been increasing concern that 1,2,4-triazole, a major degradation product of several triazole fungicides, may leach to groundwater in concentrations exceeding the 0.1 μg/L threshold limit of the European Union. We therefore carried out a laboratory column experiment with commercial barley seeds coated with the triazole fungicides tebuconazole and prothioconazole to study the fate of the fungicides and their degradation products, especially 1,2,4-triazole. Our experiment showed that the fungicides themselves were relatively immobile in the soil columns, but also that leaching of 1,2,4-triazole will occur no matter if tebuconazole or prothioconazole is used as seed dressing. Relatively high 1,2,4-triazole concentrations (up to 0.8 μg/L) were measured in the column leachates, but when the experiment was terminated after 63 days, a total of only 1 % of the fungicides was recovered as 1,2,4-triazole in the leachate. Our results suggest that seed dressing pesticides should be considered together with spray applications when estimating the total 1,2,4-triazole load from agriculture and that seed dressing pesticides and their degradation products should be included when evaluating leaching risks from pesticide applications in agriculture.Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is one of the world's fastest-growing class of waste. WEEE contain a large amount of precious materials that have aroused the interest to develop new recycling technologies. Hence, effective recycling strategies are extremely necessary to promote the proper handling of these materials as well as for environmentally sound recovery of secondary raw resource. This paper reviews important existing methods and emerging technologies in WEEE management, with special emphasis in characterization, extraction and reclamation of precious materials from waste computer and mobile phones. Traditional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies still play a central role in the recovery of metals. More recently, emerging greener recycling technologies using microorganisms (i.e. biometallurgical), plasma arc fusion method and pretreatments (i.e. ultrasound and mechanochemical technologies) combined with other recycling methods (e.g. hydrometallurgical), and using less toxic solvents such as ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have also been attempted to recycle metals from computer and mobile phone scrap. The role of analytical method development, especially using spectroanalytical methods for chemical inspection and e-waste sorting process at industrial applications is also discussed. This confirmed that most direct sampling techniques such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and X-ray fluorescence (XFR) have several advantages over traditional sorting methods including rapid analytical response, without use of chemical reagents or waste generation, and greater reclamation of precious and critical materials in the WEEE stream.A novel peroxo-functionalized Ti3C2Tx adsorbent with abundant surface termination groups was facilely prepared in situ to remove aqueous anionic and cationic dyes. The adsorption behavior of methylene blue on peroxo-functionalized Ti3C2Tx was systematically investigated by adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics. Compared with Ti3C2Tx, the adsorption capacities of peroxo-functionalized Ti3C2Tx for cationic dyes methylene blue (558.0 mg g-1), rhodamine B (524.6 mg g-1) and anionic dyes methyl orange (292.6 mg g-1), congo red (258.2 mg g-1) were increased at room temperature without adjustment of pH, background ions and humic acid, etc of the contaminant solution by 7.9, 5.3, 5.9 and 4.6 times, respectively. In addition, peroxo-functionalized Ti3C2Tx could well tolerate the effects of pH, ionic strength, and humic acid. As revealed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the adsorption mechanism of peroxo-functionalized Ti3C2Tx for anionic and cationic dyes was mainly attributed to the electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding interaction, and noncovalent surface-π attraction interaction. This study demonstrates a facile modification strategy for Ti3C2Tx adsorbent materials and aims to provide insights for the development of excellent Ti3C2Tx-based adsorbent materials.Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into gaseous hydrocarbon fuels is an auspicious way to produce renewable fuels in addition to greenhouse gas emission mitigation. In this work, non-metals (B, O, P, and S) doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared via solid-state polycondensation of urea for photocatalytic CO2 reduction into highly needed methane (CH4) with water under UV light irradiation. The various physicochemical characterization results reveal the successful incorporation of B, O, P, and S elements in the g-C3N4 matrix. The maximum CH4 yield of 55.10 nmol/(mLH2O.gcat) over S-doped g-C3N4 has been obtained for CO2 reduction after 7 h of irradiation. This amount of CH4 production was 1.9, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.4-folds higher than B, O, P and bare g-C3N4 samples. The doping of S did not enlarge the surface area and photon absorption ability of the g-C3N4 sample, but this significant improvement was evidently due to effective charge separation and migration. The observed results imply that the doping of non-metal elements provides improved charge separation and is an effective way to boost photocatalyst performance.
