Microplastics in two German wastewater treatment plants: Year-long effluent analysis with FTIR and Py-GC/MS

Lisa Roscher et al.

Summary: In this study, the effluents of two German wastewater treatment plants were investigated monthly over one year to understand the temporal input of microplastics (MP) into the receiving river systems. The study revealed elevated MP concentrations during winter months, possibly due to increased discharge and total organic carbon or elevated turbidity values caused by heavy rainfall. This study provides valuable data on the temporal dynamics of MP and highlights the importance of considering background parameters in future monitoring studies.

Qualitative and quantitative investigation on adsorption mechanisms of Cd (II) on modified biochar derived from co-pyrolysis of straw and sodium phytate

Dezheng Sun et al.

Summary: This study investigates the modification of biochars using sodium phytate and its effect on the adsorption of Cd(II) from solutions. It was found that the modified biochars had higher adsorption capacities compared to raw biochars. The modification method increased the content of dissolved organic matter and carbonate in the biochars, leading to enhanced adsorption mechanisms. The contribution of co-deposition with dissolved organic matter to adsorption was particularly significant at low pyrolysis temperatures.

Simultaneous removal of organics and heavy metals from industrial wastewater: A review

Timothy O. Ajiboye et al.

Summary: The co-existence of heavy metals and organics in industrial effluents poses potential health risks and ecological harm, necessitating the simultaneous removal of these pollutants. Technologies such as adsorption, ion exchange, photo-catalysis, and coagulation have been used for this purpose, with their success dependent on water matrices and treatment media. This review critically examines the advantages, limitations, and mathematical modeling of these technologies for concurrent removal of organics and heavy metals in contaminated systems.

Effects of Briquetting and High Pyrolysis Temperature on Hydrolysis Lignin Char Properties and Reactivity in CO-CO2-N2 Conditions

Aki Koskela et al.

Summary: Carbonaceous reductants for pyrometallurgical applications are typically derived from fossil fuels and the most important properties for different processes include mechanical strength, calorific value, fixed carbon content, and reactivity. The reactivity of biochars can be higher than metallurgical coke due to their higher surface area, but can be suppressed through agglomeration treatment. In this study, it was found that the yield of hydrolysis lignin char only decreased slightly with increased pyrolysis temperature, and mass loss was significantly decreased when the biochar was briquetted and pyrolyzed at higher temperatures.

Evidence of foliar water uptake in a conifer species

Ziqiang Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that foliar water uptake (FWU) occurs in semi-humid rock mountainous areas, with water absorption via leaves increasing with precipitation intensity but decreasing with soil water content (SWC). The greatest ratios of FWU were observed in treatments with SWC of 3.9-6.5%. The findings suggest that Platycladus orientalis can uptake water through both roots and leaves to alleviate drought stress effectively, providing new insights into water use patterns in trees.

Effects of cotton straw-derived biochar under different pyrolysis conditions on Pb (II) adsorption properties in aqueous solutions

Zengzhen Wang et al.

Summary: This study focused on the production of biochar from cotton straw for the removal of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions. It investigated the impact of different operating conditions on the adsorption performance, highlighting the significant influence of pyrolysis temperature on the adsorption capacity of biochar. The adsorption behavior of Pb (II) by biochar followed the Langmuir model, and the kinetics were consistent with the pseudo-second order model, indicating the dominance of chemical adsorption or a combination of physical and chemical adsorption.

How does the biochar of sugarcane straw pyrolysis temperature change arsenic and lead availabilities and the activity of the microorganisms in a contaminated sediment?

Matheus Bortolanza Soares et al.

Summary: Biochar is a promising alternative for remediation of areas contaminated by mining waste, but its effectiveness in immobilizing cationic and anionic contaminants varies based on pyrolysis temperature. The application of biochar can change the availability of As and Pb in sediments, alter the chemical composition of carbon structures, and impact enzyme activity of microorganisms. The reduction in Pb availability and increase in pH after application of biochar at high temperatures suggests potential for reducing environmental risks associated with Pb contamination.
