Green and sustainable synthesis of magnetite from copper slag via citrate complexation for methylene blue dye removal from water

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study proposes a novel, green, and sustainable method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxides from metallurgical copper slag (CS), leveraging its iron content as a valuable resource. Iron was extracted via acid leaching using edible citric acid (ECA), forming a citrate–iron complex (CSL), which was subsequently thermally decomposed at 300°C

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Mining: An Integrated Institutional and Agency Theory Perspective

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining is one of the foundations of economic development but has historically been associated with severe socioenvironmental impacts, such as ecosystem degradation, displacement of traditional communities, and large‐scale disasters. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a central role as a mechanism for legitimizing ...

CONDITIONING PROCESS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FRESH ACTIVATED SLUDGE [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2015
Fresh activated sludge in many wastewater treatment plants may be considered unhealthy due to the large amount of organic and organism content. Due to the lack of research on municipal sludge, there is an apparent scarcity of actual data. Thus, this work

When Corporations Nudge for Good: Examining the Effectiveness of Corporate Social Marketing Initiatives in Influencing Intention to Change

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms invest heavily in corporate social initiatives (CSIs), yet evidence of behaviour change remains limited. This study examines whether corporate social marketing (CSM) elicits stronger behavioural intentions to change than other CSI formats, such as philanthropy and cause‐related marketing (CRM), and identifies the psychological mechanisms

Synergistic Photo‐Electro‐Fenton Oxidation of Antibiotics Using a Ferrocene‐Functionalized MXene (Ti3C2Tx) Electrode

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
2D MXene (Ti3C2Tx)‐based electrode setup for hybrid photo‐electro‐Fenton degradation of antibiotic (tetracycline). The persistence of antibiotics such as tetracycline in aquatic systems poses severe environmental and health risks by potential antimicrobial resistance.

Influence of copper nanoparticles on the physical-chemical properties of activated sludge.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The physical-chemical properties of activated sludge, such as flocculating ability, hydrophobicity, surface charge, settleability, dewaterability and bacteria extracellular polymer substances (EPS), play vital roles in the normal operation of wastewater ...

Stability and performance of two GSBR operated in alternating anoxic/aerobic or anaerobic/aerobic conditions for nutrient removal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Two granular sludge sequencing batch reactors (GSBR) with alternating anoxic/aerobic (R1) and anaerobic/aerobic (R2) conditions were operated with a 4-carbon-source synthetic influent. The physical properties of the granular sludge were very good (SVI≈20

Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.
