Polyhydroxyalkanoates as Sustainable Agricultural Plastics: Processing Strategies, Performance, and Environmental Perspectives

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as biodegradable materials for agricultural plastics. It outlines how composition, processing, and formulation strategies shape material properties and end‐of‐life behavior. Applications in films and foams are discussed alongside current limitations in cost and scalability, emphasizing emerging ...

Mercury (II) Removal From Stock Solutions Using Pulsed Electrochemical Technique Coupled With Biochar Adsorbent

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
Pulsed electrooxidation combined with magnetic biochar adsorption achieved up to 98.9% Hg(II) removal from synthetic water. Optimal conditions (pH‐6.03, 34.15 min, 1.55 g/L biochar, 0.43 A, 227 mg/L Hg) enhanced efficiency beyond electrooxidation alone, demonstrating a synergistic, energy‐efficient treatment approach.

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

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 747-753, May 2026.
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 ...

Toward Sustainable Spent Cathode Recycling Technology: Failure Mechanism, Advancing Technology and Prospect

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The cathode materials from spent batteries are expected to become a resource stream rich in critical metals, drawing increasing attention to the disposal and recycling of spent lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, due to current technological limitations, the recycling efficiency and environmental sustainability of LIBs still face ...

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

open access: yessteel research international, Volume 97, Issue 5, Page 2541-2558, May 2026.
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 ...
