Arsenic Uptake From Artisanal Gold Mining Wastewater Using Magnetized and Functionalized 2‐Mercaptobenzothiazole Nanosilica: Characterization, Taguchi Optimization, Statistical Analysis and Adsorbent Reusability

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A local adsorbent, synthesized via magnetization and functionalization of nanosilica from rice husk, was applied to eliminate As5+ from gold mining wastewater sample. Adsorbent was characterized using BET, FTIR, SEM and XRD and was proved to be effective and suitable for As5+ removal from gold mining wastewater.

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2796-2814, August 2026.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the

Papaya‐Leaf‐Assisted Fermentation for Enhanced Extraction of Cassava Peel Starch and Its Application in Biodegradable Films

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 8, August 2026.
Papaya‐leaf‐assisted fermentation enhanced cassava‐peel starch recovery relative to fermentation without leaves and direct grinding, while lowering nitrogenous residues. Films plasticized with glycerol and acetic acid exhibited disrupted starch hydrogen bonding, loss of A‐type crystallinity, and pronounced hydrophilicity. Soil‐burial tests showed rapid,
