Sustainability assessment of acid-modified biochar as adsorbent for the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products from secondary treated wastewater

Ligy Philip et al.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption behavior and sustainability of biochar for removing pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs). Results showed that the acid-treated biochar, PEBC450-A, exhibited fast adsorption equilibrium and high adsorption capacities for the target pollutants. The presence of humic acid and pH changes significantly affected the adsorption, while coexisting ions and ionic strengths had no substantial impact. In multi-pollutant systems and real water samples, PEBC450-A maintained over 75% removal of PPCPs, suggesting it as a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment. Furthermore, the life cycle assessment revealed that the environmental impact of PEBC450-A was significantly lower than commercial activated carbon, making it a cost-effective and sustainable option for water treatment.

Economic analysis of graphene aerogel polyurethane sponge production as adsorbent for oil-water separation

Septian Noer Addina et al.

Summary: This study examines the economic feasibility of graphene aerogel polyurethane sponge (GAPU) production for oil-water separation. GAPU is produced from graphite, which is oxidized to form graphene oxide (GO) or reduced to form reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The rGO is blended with polyurethane sponge and freeze-dried to form an aerogel. Economic parameters are determined based on three production scenarios of GAPU: 547, 6,000, and 12,000 tons per year. The study finds that the scenario with a production of 12,000 tons of GAPU is the most favorable. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that a decrease in selling price has more unfavorable impact than an increase in raw material prices. Overall, the production of GAPU is deemed feasible.
