Optimization of F¯ Removal From Wastewater Utilizing Alternating Current Electrocoagulation Coupled With Sonication Using a Statistical Design Approach

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining electrochemical and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has greatly mitigated the limitations of electrocoagulation (EC) in water treatment. This study examined the effectiveness of sonolysis (US)‐assisted alternating current (AC)–EC in reducing fluoride (F¯) from landfill leachate wastewater (LLW), with measurements of electrical ...

Evaluation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sludge Characteristics in Typical AAO Process WWTPs in Taihu Lake Basin, China

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated sludge characteristics and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from 16 anaerobic‐anoxic‐oxic (AAO) process wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), 11 municipal and 5 industrial WWTPs, located in the Taihu Lake Basin, China. Influent/effluent water quality, sludge properties, operational parameters, GHG emission patterns, and ...

Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Biobased Reactive Plasticizer on the Morphology and Properties of Sustainable Flexible Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) Produced by Blown Film Extrusion

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A comparative investigation of two epoxy additives derived from cardanol (NC513 and NC514s) for production of films based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), and poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) clarified their distinct roles, with NC513 mainly acting as a plasticizer, reducing viscosity and enhancing ductility ...

Corrosion characteristics of concrete by landfill leachates of different ages

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Landfill leachate is a highly corrosive pollutant, and the composition of landfill leachate varies greatly between landfill ages. Landfill leachates of different ages pose a corrosive danger to concrete structures.

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...
