Summary: The study tested the purifying performance of three different Moringa oleifera varieties cultivated in Tunisia on raw and secondary treated urban wastewater. The Egyptian variety showed the best results in reducing pollutants in both types of wastewater. High levels of TKN were found in Moringa-treated wastewater, making it suitable for agricultural irrigation and reducing the need for chemical nitrogen fertilizers.

Summary: The improved method for active coagulant agent extraction from Moringa Oleifera seeds powder using sodium chloride as solvent at 1.0 M concentration showed the best performance in turbidity removal and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) removal for municipal wastewater treatment. Ultrasonic treatment was considered as an additional method, but it decreased the active coagulant agent extraction efficiency, indicating its inconvenience for Moringa Oleifera coagulation activity.

Summary: This review evaluates the properties and active components of Moringa Oleifera seeds, as well as their dual efficiency as antimicrobials and natural coagulants for treating contaminated effluents. The research progress on the bioactive properties of seed compounds, including antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity, is discussed. Moreover, studies on the coagulating mechanism and seed processing techniques are examined. The use of Moringa Oleifera seeds for wastewater treatment processes is encouraged due to their extensive and potent antibacterial and coagulant properties.

Summary: Pollution from paint discharges with diverse and toxic chemical composition causes an imbalance in the aquatic ecosystem. With stricter environmental regulations and increasing water resource depletion, wastewater recycling has become a priority. This study aims to optimize the treatment of paint wastewater using a bio-coagulant extracted from Moringa oleifera seeds through the D-optimal design of coagulation-flocculation process. The results show that coagulation-flocculation is the best solution for clarifying paint wastewater, with a significant reduction in turbidity achieved under optimal conditions.

Summary: The study explored the suitability of Moringa oleifera seed extracts as a coagulant for water treatment. The coagulant showed good performance in terms of turbidity removal, bacteriophage clearance, and floc size and fractal dimension. However, the extraction process resulted in a significant amount of residual organics in the treated water, requiring additional measures to mitigate the issue.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
