Summary: Utilizing unmodified Shea fruit shells as a biosorbent for Cd(II) removal from synthetic wastewater was found to be dependent on parameters such as pH, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration. The adsorption process was best represented by the Freundlich isotherm and was determined to be chemisorption. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the process was endothermic and spontaneous.

Summary: This study evaluated different biosorbents from Rumex acetosella weed for the removal of metal cations in wastewater. The mixed treatment with particle size of 250 μm showed the best performance, removing up to 96.14% of lead. Thermal analysis and structural characteristics indicated that the new biosorbents had higher chelating capacity. The Langmuir and pseudo-second order models provided better fit to the adsorption data. These new biosorbents could be used economically and efficiently in wastewater treatment.

Summary: The study aimed at removing Cd(ii) from wastewater using fungal biomass immobilized on loofa sponges or in Ca-alginate beads. The optimal conditions for maximum Cd(ii) sorption capacity were pH 7.0, thirty minutes contact time, and 0.5 mol l(-1) initial Cd(ii) concentration for all sorbents used. Fungal cells immobilized showed enhanced removal of Cd(ii) compared to free cells in real wastewater samples collected from two Egyptian industrial plants.

Summary: In this study, feather keratin derived biosorbents were synthesized using water dispersed graphene oxide. The cross-linking of feather keratin with graphene oxide was successfully achieved, resulting in increased surface area and morphological changes. The biosorbents showed excellent performance in removing metal oxyanions and cations from polluted water. The electrostatic interaction, chelation, and complexation were found to be the primary contributors in the biosorption mechanism. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of modifying chicken feather keratin with graphene oxide for removing multiple trace metal ions from contaminated water.

Summary: The accumulation of both natural and anthropogenic sources of metals in the ecosystem has led to increasing concerns over heavy metal (HM) pollution. Human exposure to HMs, such as mercury, arsenic, lead, chromium, and cadmium, has become a significant environmental and health issue. These HMs can cause acute or chronic poisoning through water, air, or food. Their bioaccumulation in the body leads to various toxic effects on organs and tissues, primarily through the production of reactive oxygen species, enzyme inactivation, and oxidative stress. Conventional techniques for HM removal are limited, especially when the HM concentration is low. Microbial bioremediation, utilizing organisms like fungi and bacteria, has emerged as a potential solution due to their superior biosorption and bioaccumulation capabilities. This review aims to provide insights into HM uptake, toxicity mechanisms, and the management of metal poisoning through the selection of microbial remediation technology.

Summary: The main objective of this study was to estimate the microplastic pollution on Costa Nova sandy beach in Portugal using longitudinal and cross-sectional transects. The results showed low variability in data, with median concentrations ranging from 142 to 356 p/kg d.w. in cross-sectional transects, and from 211 to 270 p/kg d.w. in longitudinal transects. Microspheres were the predominant morphology, accounting for over 90% of all samples, and the most abundant microplastics were <200 μm in size. Despite moderate-low tourist activity, microplastic contamination was higher in Costa Nova compared to other Portuguese beaches, possibly due to nearby port activities and ocean currents. However, this study highlights the disparity in data caused by different methodologies used in analyzing similar areas.

Summary: Using science mapping, we analyzed the increasing number of scientific documents on the negative environmental impacts of PPE waste, particularly face masks, used for reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission. India, China, and Canada emerged as leaders in this research field, focusing on environmental issues and engineering solutions. Our analysis highlighted the significant negative effects of PPE waste on aquatic ecosystems, greenhouse gas emissions, and wildlife. To address these impacts, innovative ecodesign strategies for green production, reuse, and recycling, as well as collaboration with the public to reduce waste at its source, are essential. Implementing a collective, extended producer responsibility system for PPE can ensure sustainable production and consumption, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Summary: The potential use of activated char obtained from the pyrolysis of non-recyclable plastics for CO2 adsorption in fixed-bed columns was investigated. The plastic waste collected from a municipal solid treatment plant was pyrolyzed to produce char residue, which was then activated to create a porous carbonaceous material. Continuous column tests demonstrated successful fitting of breakthrough curves to the dose-response model. The effects of adsorption temperature, CO2 concentration, and bed length on process efficiency were evaluated using surface response methodology.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
