Slow Release of Bioactive Alcohols From Butenolide Polymers and Coatings

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
In this study we have reported the acid‐mediated release of bioactive alcohols from biobased alkoxy butenolide derived copolymers and coatings. It can potentially be applied for slow release of odors, pesticides, or drug‐related compounds from biobased polybutenolides.

State‐of‐the‐Art and Synthetic Challenges for Hydrosilane Production

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The synthesis of hydrosilanes is currently energy intensive and their recycling is not considered. However, these compounds are important in many industrial fields but also for the valorization of oxygenated waste, towards a circular economy. This review compares the available synthetic routes and highlights the remaining challenges for the production ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics in water: Improving removal in wastewater treatment plants with alternative coagulants

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
The contaminant removal performance of a conventional coagulant, alum, and alternative coagulants, aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and ACH + pDADMC, are compared in challenging wastewater treatment conditions (pH >7.8). The interactions of each coagulant with a negatively charged surface are depicted based on quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...

Plastic Pollution

2023
Plastics show up in every area of our lives. They are durable, cheap and light, properties that make them attractive but also problematic for the environment. The focus of this book is not just to highlight the problem of plastics, its definition, and how plastic pollution is impacting human health and environment but also to look at some best ...

A geological perspective of plastic pollution

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
The Anthropocene, the most recent geologic time division, marks humanity's profound impact on Earth. Amidst debates, the Anthropocene Working Group recommended its inclusion in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart (ICC). This period is characterized by the mid-20th century Great Acceleration Event Array (GAEA), which includes widespread presence

Plastic Pollution Litigation

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
Given that there has been no legislative action on plastic pollution, advocates are turning to litigation to hold a variety of defendants—producers, transporters, manufacturers, and government officials—accountable for the harms associated with plastic. This article analyzes five lawsuits involving plastic pollution.
