Recovering nutrients from urine – A golden opportunity for sustainable fertiliser production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural industrialisation has led to levels of nutrients in the environment that are well above safe operating limits, yet fertiliser use is necessary to feed a growing population. The recovery of nutrients from human urine in large, developed cities may offset some of the ecological and economic impacts associated with fertiliser production, as ...

Multilayer Cellulose Acetate–Viscose Films for Bio‐Based, Bio‐Degradable Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose foils stick together comprehensively after mild cellulose sodium hydroxide treatment and heated compression. For combined foils, water barrier properties correlate with CA thickness. Oxygen permeation suffers due to the sodium hydroxide pre‐treatment induced foil changes. The composite represents a biodegradable and

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Recovery After Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades: Implications for Biomonitoring

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the past decade, major upgrades have been made to the Kitchener and Waterloo wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Grand River watershed in Ontario, Canada. As part of efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of these investments (>$450 M CDN), a benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) monitoring program was initiated by sampling upstream and

Assessing Eco‐Efficiency and the Cost of Carbon Abatement in Wastewater Treatment: Evidence From Spain

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play a critical role in protecting public health and the environment but are also contributors to carbon emissions. Improving the eco‐efficiency of WWTPs is essential for advancing sustainability in the sector.

Mechanochemical Fullerene Nanoencapsulation in Amino‐Functionalized ZIF‐12 for Visible‐Light Disinfection of Waterborne Viruses and Bacteria

Small, EarlyView.
A solvent‐minimized mechanochemical strategy enables the synthesis of C₆₀‐encapsulated amino‐functionalized ZIF‐12 as a visible‐light‐driven bifunctional photocatalyst. Synergistic charge separation enhances hydroxyl radical generation, achieving efficient viral in saline water and bacterial inactivation in river water under environmentally relevant ...

Compostable and Recyclable Baroplastic Triblock Copolymers Enable Low‐Energy Polymer Processing

Small, EarlyView.
Baroplastic Poly(L‐lactide)‐block‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐poly(L‐lactide) triblock copolymers enable ambient‐temperature processing under moderate pressure, reducing energy demand while preserving polymer integrity. The materials show rapid industrial compostability, effective chemical and physical recyclability, and compatibility with heat ...

Outline of a Washing Treatment to Improve Electric Arc Furnace Slag Environmental Behavior

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study evaluates a water‐washing treatment for electric arc furnace slag to reduce the leaching of hazardous elements (Cr, Ba, Mo, and V), enabling its reuse. The process effectively decreases leachate concentrations. Using the treated slag as a substitute aggregate in concrete reduces greenhouse gases emissions by 42.5% compared to landfilling ...

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Organic Sunscreens Used Worldwide, Alone and in Mixture, on Terrestrial Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental hazards of sunscreens are discussed worldwide. However, there are few ecotoxicological studies on these compounds alone for edaphic organisms, and none for their mixtures. Avobenzone (1 and 10 ng/L), octocrylene (10 and 100 μg/L), and oxybenzone (2 and 20 μg/L), alone and in binary combinations (between the lowest and the ...
