Biomass‐Derived Carbon Photocatalysts for Organic Pollutant Degradation: Strategies and Perspectives
Recent advances in biomass‐derived carbon photocatalysts are highlighted, focusing on synthesis, surface engineering, and mechanisms such as ROS generation and band‐gap tuning. Heteroatom doping, heterojunctions, and hybrid architectures boost visible‐light activity, while scalability and stability challenges are addressed for practical environmental ...

Circular food system governance at the local level: Perspective from a Canadian case study
Abstract Concerns about unsustainable food systems have led regions and cities to adopt a circular economy (CE). However, most literature has focused on tangible aspects, with investigation of the social and institutional dimensions. This paper examines how governance and institutional dynamics shape circular food systems, drawing on the Eastern ...

Water hyacinths retain river plastics
Rivers represent one of the main conduits for the delivery of plastics to the sea, while also functioning as reservoirs for plastic retention. In tropical regions, rivers are exposed to both high levels of plastic pollution and invasion of water hyacinths. This aquatic plant forms dense patches at the river surface that drift due to winds and currents.

Spread of Amazonian Freshwater Fishes Beyond Their Native Ranges
ABSTRACT The spread and establishment of Amazonian species outside their native ranges through activities such as sport fishing, aquaculture, and the ornamental fish industry may lead to ecological changes in recipient ecosystems. We investigated the global distribution of Amazonian freshwater fish (AFF) and conducted a case study in the upper Paraná ...

Phytoremediation of some pesticides by water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Solms)
The effectiveness of the phytoremediation of ethion, dicofol and cyhalothrin by water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Solms) was studied. In 250mL of nutrition solution containing one of the above-named pesticides at a concentration of 1 mg/L and a living

Agrostone panels, popularly used for interior walls in construction, are usually made from sustainable agricultural waste such as bagasse as filler and glass fiber as reinforcement in a binder of pumice, MgO, and MgCl2 solutions. The present work has gone ahead of one step by adding rice husk and bamboo fiber, which are abundantly available in Ethiopia,

(Hemi)celluloses, abundant in lignocellulosic biomass, can be hydrolyzed and dehydrated into furanics like 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (5‐HMF) and levulinic acid. Despite its potential, 5‐HMF production remains limited by inefficiencies, notably humin formation.
