Summary: This study investigates the physicochemical properties and heavy metal variations in sludge from sewage treatment plants in industrial and non-industrial cities in Haryana, India. The results show that the sludge from industrial sites has higher concentrations of Cd, Ni, and Cr, and poses a higher ecological risk compared to sludge from non-industrial sites. pH, total carbon, and phosphorus are important factors controlling the binding and removal of heavy metals in sludge.

Summary: The co-pyrolysis of organic fractions of municipal solid waste with sewage sludge can enhance biochar properties, increase pH values and carbon contents, and transform heavy metals into more stable forms, reducing their environmental risk in blended biochars. However, the addition of PVC hindered biochar properties and compromised heavy metals immobilization during sewage sludge pyrolysis.

Summary: Phosphorus and operating temperature have significant effects on the behavior and distribution of heavy metals in fluidized bed combustion. Experimental results showed that the presence of phosphorus led to easier particle agglomeration and different emission trends for Pb, Cd, and Cr. Higher temperatures promoted the volatilization of Pb and Cd, while the emission of Cr was influenced by the affinity of Al and Cr with Na in the incinerator. The distribution of heavy metals was found to be higher in both the coarsest and finest particles during agglomeration/defluidization.

Summary: The occurrences, temporal variations and ecotoxicological risks of 38 selected pharmaceuticals from 7 therapeutic classes have been observed in the anaerobically treated sludge of the urban wastewater treatment plant in Konya, Turkey. The total concentrations of all pharmaceutical compounds ranged from 280 to 4898 μg/kg of dry matter. The dominant therapeutic class was analgesics and anti-inflammatories, and the use of treated sludge as fertilizer in agricultural lands causes continuous contamination of the terrestrial environment by pharmaceuticals.

Summary: Co-combustion of municipal sewage sludge (MSS) with coal in power plants is a common method for disposal, but it increases the ecological risk due to the high heavy metals content. This study analyzed the properties of fly ash and bottom ash from MSS co-combustion, including ash composition, particle size distribution, heavy metals content, and leaching characteristics. The results showed that the co-combustion had no significant effect on ash composition and heavy metals content order. However, the total content of Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, and Hg in co-combustion ash was higher than that in coal-fired ash without sludge blending. The leaching concentrations of Cr and Ni exceeded the limit value, indicating a potential ecological risk. The potential ecological risk levels of fly ash and bottom ash were moderate and high, with Cr and Hg as the main contributors.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of rice husk dose and pyrolysis temperature on the phosphorus fractions and environmental risk of heavy metals in biochar co-pyrolyzed from sewage sludge and rice husk. The results showed that co-pyrolysis could improve biochar-P bioavailability, and the P species mainly existed as orthophosphate in biochar. Additionally, the toxicity and mobility of heavy metals decreased with increasing rice husk dose and pyrolysis temperature, indicating that co-pyrolysis of sewage sludge and rice husk could be a promising P reuse strategy.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of sewage sludge phosphorus content on heavy metal behavior during co-incineration with municipal solid waste. It found that co-incineration delayed pyrolysis and polymer/fixed carbon incineration, resulting in increased sludge ratio and shifted weight loss peak. The study also observed a higher residual heavy metal ratio after sewage sludge mono-incineration compared to MSW. It further identified a synergistic effect of co-incineration on copper, but not on lead or cadmium.

Summary: The co-pyrolysis of sewage sludge and plastics, particularly polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microplastics with or without metal additives, has been investigated for the production of biochars as a solution to plastic pollution. The study compared the characteristics and environmental risks associated with heavy metals in biochars obtained from the co-pyrolysis of sludge and microplastic. The results showed that the addition of metal-loaded PVC increased the total concentrations of certain heavy metals in the biochars, but reduced their bioavailability. Furthermore, the heavy metals in biochars derived from the co-pyrolysis of sludge and metal-loaded PVC had a higher percentage of stable fraction and lower potential ecological risk index value. Overall, the study suggests that the co-pyrolysis of metal-loaded PVC microplastic and sewage sludge positively affects the immobilization of heavy metals during the process.

Summary: Land application of municipal sewage sludge has become a popular option worldwide, but the heavy metals in the sludge pose potential ecological and human health risks. This study assessed the risks of heavy metals in sewage sludge samples from different cities in Turkey, finding that children may face higher health risks compared to adults due to exposure to Pb, As, and Cr. These findings suggest that regulatory limits alone may not be enough to protect all individuals from health risks associated with municipal sewage sludge.

Summary: Mn3O4/Co3O4 composites with S-scheme heterojunctions were fabricated for photothermal catalytic degradation of toluene under UV-Vis light irradiation. The hetero-interface of Mn3O4/Co3O4 effectively increases the specific surface area and promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species. The presence of a built-in electric field and energy band bending optimizes the photogenerated carriers' transfer path and enhances the removal efficiency of toluene.

Summary: Three-dimensional graphene networks (3DGN) can be used as reinforcement for aluminum matrix composites due to their unique wrinkled structure and cost-effectiveness. This study investigates the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of 3DGN in Al matrix. Results show that the densification of 3DGN/Al composites slightly decreases with increasing 3DGN content. Additionally, the addition of 3DGN aggravates the corrosion of aluminum compared to pure aluminum. This study provides a reference for future research on graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composites.

Summary: Multi-view graph clustering has attracted extensive research attention due to its ability to capture consistent and complementary information between views. However, multi-view data are mostly high-dimensional and may contain redundant and irrelevant features. In addition, the original data are often contaminated by noise and outliers, affecting the reliability of the learned affinity matrix. This study proposes a robust multi-view clustering model that combines low-dimensional and low-rank latent space learning, self-representation learning, and multi-view discrepancy induction fusion. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art comparison models in terms of robustness and clustering performance.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

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.
